Slacking on things

With the coming cold winter weather fast approaching we begin to slow things down, become less active. I've actually been busier than I expected. That means that it's only one reason why I've not posted in a while. Mostly though, I've just been lazy.
Since the last post I made my yearly trek to Bowling Green, KY to the National Corvette Museum. This year was the 1st time I got to take the Z06 to the museum for this fall trip. Also, this is the 1st time I've not stayed the weekend. I did a whopping 735 miles on the 1st day, leaving the house and heading to BG driving thru the night, arriving there @ 7 AM local time. I stayed a few hours, talking to a friend that works there, and then seeing the new changes there and then headed to Kim's house. I had some great backroads to explore on the way and it was amazing.
We spent the rest of the day together, having a nice Birthday dinner and then decorating her Christmas tree and watching a classic movie.
The next morning we did a bunch of fun activities that morning and then it was back on the road again. I had beautiful weather all weekend and it was a perfect end to a great driving season in the Vette. Making it special was seeing Kim 2 weekends in a row. We're trying to make it where we can see each other as much as possible and hopefully, it's working :)
The recent holiday weekend was a pleasant one, as I got to spend it with some great friends and have some great food to boot.
I have a busy couple weekends coming up before the holidays. The cruise is only 5 or 6 weeks away, and I still have alot ot get done. Passport is on it's way, snorkel mask is being ground for my perscription, and all I need now is more of a 'cool' wardrobe to go along with my new trip.

On top of all of this... I've had a resurgence of an old love... muscle cars, and model building.
I picked up a copy of "Muscle Car Review" magazine a couple weeks ago mainly because it had a beautiful 1970 Olds 442 on the cover. I remembered just how COOL those old cars are and miss hanging out in those circles. While the Covette guys are great, the muscle car guys are even more diverse and spread out. I also had a great refresher @ the Corvette museum about how cool model building can be. There was a cool display that was themed around Corvettes and a 'shop' that had various models built to look in various states of repair. Really was a great thing to see. Made me want to dive back in a bit over the winter in my 'free time' and have some fun.

Like I need another hobby....
