Boats & Bikes

We just had our big annual weekend of shows and events. Friday was the Adirondack Nationals car show, and although Dave and Jim Ryan went up to Lake George Village to see the cars cruising the streets, they got rained on...more like a deluge. ☔⚡ Saturday was supposed to rain too, but it ended up being a fine day for the Tugboat Roundup at the lock in Waterford.

I only took a few photos because I have posted so many in past years, but the John J. Harvey fireboat was our favorite. Every hour they did a water display. Afterwards the engineer and his wife gave a tour of the engine room. Only a couple other people wanted to go down in this very hot area, so it pretty much ended up being a private tour for just us (sorry no photos of the 5 engines this year).

Sunday was the famous Rice-o-Rama Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Show and swap meet in Spencer, Massachusetts. My brother and sister-in-law, Rick & Eva, had come up from FL to visit and attend, now that they are retired and able to take time to go. Storms came in around 2pm (what a wet summer it has been), keeping away quite a few spectators, but everyone there had a good time.

Dave's favorite of the show was this custom made frame with an aircraft engine in it. It sounded awesome and rates right up there with Dave's inventions. 

Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, we picked up a respiratory virus and bronchitis. We tested for Covid several times and results were negative, but it doesn't make us feel any better. It all takes time to get over and for awhile we will lay low. Hopefully we are better by next weekend for the annual Ballston Truck Show!
