The Car Show was a resounding success - we had 122 vehicles registered with a couple non-registered ones showing up as well (non-registered do not get to participate in the voting and prize ceremony). We had 169 vehicles last year but planning to attend a Car Show requires some measure of long-range planning and the weather has been so chaotic (trees down and power out last Saturday) that many people decided to bag it for this year.
Lots more tourists visiting than the last years and they seemed to really enjoy themselves.
For the last couple of years, we had an excellent rock and roll band but they bailed on us just a few days prior. I got a Microsoft Zune loaded with a bunch of music and we did just fine. It worked out a lot better for me as I was able to fade the music, announce and then fade back up without having to coordinate with hand signals. The band just shot themselves in the foot as we will be using MP3s for the next year instead of paying them $400 for the event.
Didn't feel like cooking so went out to a restaurant in Glacier and had fish and chips and a couple beers.
Surf for a bit - no radio tonight as the speaker stand I use to hold up the antenna was used today for holding... speakers and is still in the back of my truck.
Heading out to Canada tomorrow morning to this place: Sphere Research Corporation. They had a water pipe burst and are having to repair their floor. They are holding a huge scratch and dent and V.W.O. sale (Very Weird Object) and it is only three hours away through some gorgeous country.
Hip is feeling a lot better - it seems to have been just a deep tissue bruise and nothing to do with my artificial hip.
