It was a beautiful day to take my #LittleRedSportsCar out for a drive up #RiverRoad to #Locke for #EasterBrunch at #AltheWops.

Warm & sunny. The #StrawberryPatches are open for #SelfPicking, the #corn is starting to sprout (already about 1 ft high) & the #CherryTrees have already blossomed & will be ready to bear fruit in mid or late May.

And made it back just in time to watch the start of the #MLB game between th #SFGiants & #angels

Life is good!!!

Go Giants!!!

Running errands this afternoon, I got stuck behind a Maserati driving 10 mph below the speed limit. I think the driver must be unclear on the concept. #sportscars

It's warm & #sunny in #EastCoCoCounty today.

The first time in months that I could open the door from my kitchen (where I spend most of my) to the backyard & breath some fresh air while trolling #SFBASocial & the rest of the Net.

If it's this nice again tomorrow, I'll take out my #LittleRedSportsCar for a drive into the #CentralValley to go to my favorite #DiveBar & #Restaurant -- #Lagarios -- in #Farmington for some #GrilledOysters. Yum!!

Since the #EType production ceased in 1974, I have not paid attention to the #Jaguar brand. They have now managed to change that with their #Type00 concept, and not in a good way.

If this is Jaguar's "concept" for the future of #SportsCars, I think they should just rest on their past laurels, go defunct quietly, and surrender the #EV segment to the government-funded Chinese "companies".

MG T-Series cars out on our MG club’s cider-mill run in the northern suburbs of Detroit. It literally couldn’t have been a nicer day for it.
