I arose early, and took care of a few details: vacuming; windows; and documentation, then left for the 4th Annual Cleveland Euro Car Cruise-In, in Olmsted Falls.

The were many cars here, including British, Italian, and German.

I shared the event with Chuck Linick.  It was at a German Club, and we ate inside.

This event benefits vets.

Back home, we had pizza brought in, and then rode our bikes for 19 minutes, before watching Poldar, so Sharon can keep up on history!

I did some work on Mini – switching out the large clamps for original types.

We then drove to a party at Allen and Sarah’s house, to celebrate their new back yard.  (Allen helped me with a stubborn clamp!)
