I just returned from the CA Zone Show at Morro Bay, CA. It was a nice show
in a beautiful location.  The Inn At Morro Bay is right on the ocean.  It
was 74 degrees on Saturday for the show. There were 61 Oldsmobiles in the
show. I drove the '72 Toro to the show, a 1,303 mile round trip.  The car
ran flawlessly and got 17.4 mpg for the trip. It was 119 degrees coming back
through the desert from Palm Springs through Indio and Blythe, Ca. and the
Quartzite AZ areas. The old girl never missed a beat! I received a first in
class trophy and the long distance award.  4 cars went from the Phoenix area
and we figured out I was actually the farthest away. Gas ranged from $2.83
per gallon in AZ to $3.43 per gallon in suburban LA.  The Toro had not gone
farther than a 30 mile trip in the last 7 years but I had confidence in her.
Now I have some detailing and minor work to do to get ready to go to Dallas.
I also need to get the cruise control working!!!
