This month we had
about 43 special vehicles visit the Bruster’s lot….about half were first time
visitors….which means the word is getting out about the cruise. Some say it’s the prime location right
between Rt. 29 & Rt. 29 Business….others say it’s the awesome 50/50 ladies
from the FC&MCC that extort money from the hapless cruisers….others say it
the world renowned DJ Chip, that fly’s in just to spin the tunes for us….others
say it’s the ice cream Bruster’s has AND the Nathan’s hot dogs. The Princess says it’s because everyone wants
to see if the old crippled guys can last all day walking around in the
thermonuclear heat, parking cars, answering questions and talking about Fisher
House before someone has to call 911 to have them removed from the asphalt! I think the Princess is analyzing the deal
from the comfort of INSIDE Bruster’s….talking and eating ice cream….can you say
AIR CONDITIONED? But….We did it; we were
all standing at the end of the day….a little crooked but still on our feet! I have only taken most of Sunday to recover
from the blistering heat and 5 hours on my feet….whew!
Oscar & Cyndi’s
visit was a pleasant surprise for the Princess & I and I got to meet fellow
picture taker and Facebook admin; Steve….it was a good day. As I said above about half the rides were new
to the cruise. I enjoyed seeing the “Hot
Rods”….some would say Rat Rods….a couple blurred the lines a little between Rat
Rod & Hot Rod….but they all are way cool.
Bob paid us a visit with his
cool SSR (http://autoessentials.blogspot.com/2010/02/2004-chevy-ssr-bob-v.html) and an in your face, red & white, 4WD International
crew cab pickup….I have seen a few of these painted dark blue with yellow stenciling
all over them on Air Force Bases I have visited. My favorite was the red/silver Pro Street VW….that
is one air cooled beast.
About 8PM Jim announced
the 50/50 winner followed shortly by the Bruster’s Manager’s choice for the
month, the ’58 Chevy 4dr. We had a lot
of Fisher House traffic and gave away some FH brochures….which means we were
able to enlighten some people about what they do for our Veterans. A good productive day for everyone….
