Y’all know how it goes…take a week or so off to do the important stuff in life like visiting kids/grandkids/exotic locales, etc.  Then you return to work and doggoned if your boss and coworkers present you with a list of demands, ie, stuff that should’ve been taken care of during your absence.  Makes for long days, short evenings and grievous gaps in some of the other important things in like, like maintaining a trip blog.

So that’s where we’re at: five days following the return from the northwest, two newsletters (one for Air Force radar veterans and SLTOA’s “Exhaust Notes” for October) out the door, Cars & Coffee, one SLTOA driving event in the books AND oh by the way, all caught up at work.  Which means we can finally provide the final entries for this last trip. Phew…

Last weekend proved rather quiet, with an early-Saturday run from south Portland to the Oregon Coast for two days with daughter No. 1 and her mob.  Once the coastal weather cleared on Saturday, the rods came out in force, including a rather startling procession of about 20 on US 101 near Lincoln City.  Wasn’t in any position to get photos but the ’49 Ford woodie wagon stood out.  Later, while doing a couple of errands with daughter No. 2, a yellow late-model crash bumper MGB blew by, going in the opposite direction.  Again, no shot, but the siting marked two LBC sightings in two days, not bad.
