This year's PDR on August 21st, was a huge success. Many thanks to our
gracious hosts, the Rynikers, the Ganns and the Ketchams. You guys did
a fantastic job of hosting and entertaining us. We had about 30
participants and nobody went away hungry. |
We started at Kevin and Llynne Ryniker's place and we filled
up the driveway, the front lawn and some of the cul'de'sac. And then,
we filled up on appetizers. There was a great spread of tasty treats
and refreshing beverages.

We hung out in the peaceful back yard and caught up with all our friends and
we met a couple of new ones, Loni and Virginia English. It was a
surprise to meet Loni and he brought along his silver/black GTS and a '67
Shelby GT350!

Matt slips his Pushbutton a sip of tequilla to ensure his cooling system
remained happy!

Dinner was traditional Mexican, carne asada, pollo asada, carnitas, tamales,
rice, beans, etc. And of course plenty of chips and guacamole made
from fresh avacodos from the Gann's expansive grove of trees!

Looks like nobody wanted to sit with Marshall. Oh well, all the more
guacamole for him!

You can't have a car club event without a little garage time, so we went out
to check out Bret's latest toy, his formula ford racecar. It's just
about ready to go racing and all agreed that it looks like a ton of fun!

And last, but not least, our final stop for desert and more refreshing
beverages, our after dinner hosts Ron and Carol Ketcham open their doors for
a stunning finish to the evening. Renee, Klaus and Dave soak in the
breathtaking view from the deck. We actually arrived just in time to
witness a stunning sunset.

The city lights from the Ketcham's deck are dazzling.

And, as mentioned earlier: have garage will gravitate... This time it's an
impromptu tech session down in the Garage Mahal to diagnose Ron's strange
noise which prevented him from driving his Pantera this evening.
Nothing major. Turns out that it's just the idler pulley falling
apart, as these things will do. We decided to leave the repair for
another day.
