"But there's only a 20% chance of rain" they said LOL...

Big local farm 20 minutes away puts on a decent sized cruise in 5p-9p, 150ish vehicles of every stripe...food trucks, beer vendor, live music...  It's a great take, and you can tell covid has just cooped everyone up, so we aint afraid of a little water... are we? LOL   You just KNOW it was coming down pretty good about 6:15, but wet is wet and the 2A has been wet before Embarrassed

Me and the Bronco twins stuck it out til 7, at which point the radar was showing a quick lull in which to make a break for it and run.  By then the field was all but empty, so I decided that the 2A had won best of show, Bill's brandy wine '77 got peoples choice, and Mike's apple green '73 edged out no one else left for best looking owner, lol.  It was just nice to get out, and great to hear the flatty get more than it's share of comments sandwiched in between two really nice builds.

...and believe it or not, the ride home, working the wipers by hand, was NOT the worst ride I've ever made in a jeep Wink

Nice looking bobtails, but I like Plowshare better!
