I Work outside allot of the time in Dallas, TX. ?The weeks before the Convention it was 100+, I enjoyed the cooler weather in Jax and it seems to have follow us home.









I don't think it got over 93 all week and most days we got an afternoon shower that cooled things off.





The Hotel was on the river and the river is in the back ground of many of my concourse photos.



My wife went shopping and to the beach with a friend Tuesday so after checking out the cars (and tank) I picked up some parts from the venders. ?Tuesday night we walked up river to eat and walked across the bridge and down the other side to look around. ?Jaxs has scenic walkways on both sides of the river and water taxis if you don't want to walk the bridges.





Wednesday we went to Atlantic Beach and had a late lunch at the Fish Co. nice place w/very good food. ?After spending more time look at what the venders had and talking Corvairs we vent to friend for dinner. ?Thursday I got my wife on the bus to St. Augustine Mike and I went to see the Autocross (it was warm in the sun). ?There were some great runs and cones were flying. ?it was a much faster course than last year. ?that night we went on the riverboat dinner cruse and met people from south Fl.



Friday it was down A1A to Anastsasia Beach and back to St. Augustine for the wife to shop. ?At night the Banquet and good byes to new friend.



















I drove in my 64 GB?(with A/C) ?2,443 miles round trip. ?I did not enter any events,?I would have liked to autocross the GB.





My wife does not understand why we like old cars but after having seen two?concourses and having someone tell her how much they like the Greenbrier she at least knows allot of people like our cars and wants me to paint it so it looks new.



















My wife and I had a great time and I found parts I needed. ?The host club did an excellent job.
