In search of cooler weather, we took a break from working on the truck and headed up to Prescott for a car show. We figured the truck could stay home this time, considering the 110+ degree weather in Phoenix and the prospect of driving in it with no air conditioning. (Wise choice!) John found this lost little dogie along the way up north. Now that's one huge Hereford!
On the way back, we stopped for lunch at the Amish Kitchen. Hmm... Guess we were looking for something a little more...Amish (you know, dark clothes, horse-and-buggy, etc.). Instead, it was a very typical lunchroom diner with the very predictable menu. They did have this special peanut butter spread that was out of this world. It tastes just like Bit-o-Honey candy. The bread pudding was also good, but alas...where have all the Amish gone?
On the way back, we decided to go by the Scottsdale Pavilions to see just how early some people go there to secure their parking spots for the evening cruise night. Note the time...
...and the cars. There were already about ten cars parked and ready to go. One older guy was actually polishing up his ride (it was 111 degrees!) and seemed totally dumbfounded when we asked him if he always got there this early. His attitude very clearly was that, of course he did, and why would he come at any other time? We think the poor guy had heatstroke... John went down to the show that night and the die-hard was still there. At least he had put his shirt back on...
Up north it was a little cooler (in comparison). The show was on the field of the middle school in Prescott. Thayer and Jilly found someone they recognized right away.
Thayer tends to gravitate towards the orange cars. He's not too particular about the type, but they MUST be orange.
Jilly likes the pink cars (or anything close, such as peach).
The only Studebaker at the show was this Champion.
This panel wagon was one of maybe four trucks at the show. John's thinking about getting one of these and putting a waterbed in the back. You have to wonder what kind of sign he'd want to paint on the side of THAT one...

Bit O honey, bread pudding weight watchers HMMM. These are two of my favorite things.
The Amish are alive and well and laughing thier butts off because like the smartest man on Guam they don't use gas. Wonder how they laugh THEEHEEHEE maybe.
Looks like it was an okay show, and it looks like the kiddos enjoyed it.
But it's time for night cruzin till the fall even in prescott it's just way to hot. i don't know how it got turned around. It used to be race in spring and summer, show your car in fall and winter.
Too dam many people moved in from Kansas i suppose. Can't get thier seasons right.
