Hi everyone;
Weather: The spring cruise is ON! The bad news; there is a stalled high pressure west of us that is drawing moisture in from the gulf. We have enjoyed intermittent light rain in the region for days, and that is the prediction for the next couple of day. THE GOOD NEWS; things are looking better toward the end of the week. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are looking good, with warm temps, partly cloudy skies and only a small chance for some light showers. The best news; most of the showers are predicted for late evening or overnight, so it looks like our cruise will be dry.
The bottom line, get yourself to Tallahassee, because life is an adventure and you can’t have adventure without adversity. In other words, don’t worry about a little rain, it will not hurt you or your car. I have been caught in my Cobra during a downpour three times, the first couple of times I was really annoyed, but now I realize those events created some fond memories to share with friends and have some laughs.
What to bring:
Clipboard with a rubber band. You can clip your route instructions on it, and the rubber band will keep the pages from flapping in the breeze.
A chamois cloth and a dry towel. Stuff these behind your seat just in case we do find some rain.
Cash. One of the places we are going to visit requires a $4 per person fee for a tour.
Business Casual attire. Our Saturday evening dining will be very upscale, as we will dine at the University Center Club inside Doak Campbell Stadium. I have planned a stop at the hotel before dinner so you will have time to change cloths and freshen up.
Earplugs. On a long ride, (anything over 20 minutes) even if your Cobra is not loud, wind noise at highway speeds can damage your hearing.
Finally, if you have not done so, please sign up for the cruise at the DSCC website. Because of a minimum dollar amount for the Saturday evening dinner, we need to collect $10 per head to cover some pre-ordered food. If anyone needs to reach out to me, call or email at any time at
harper.ricky@gmail.com or 850 510 5771.
I will be in the hotel lobby Thursday evening starting at 5, and will stay for a couple of hours. If you miss me there, look for me in the hotel parking lot Friday morning at 8:30. Our departure time will be at 9am sharp!
Y’all drive safe, I look forward to seeing you later this week!
