Today, November 20, 2011, Joyce and I took a quick trip to the hardware store in the Jeepster.  Nothing dramatic, but it was good to get back behind the wheel after a couple of months while Rosie the Roadster spent time at Bink's, getting a rebuilt carbuerator and battery.  Now we are raring to go.
The weather was warm but windy, and with the top down, but the side windows up, we had a pleasant trip over to Vineyard Haven.
Leaving Ace, a man stopped us, and queried with his fingers as to the age of the car.  I called out '48 and he smiled.  Little things.  But they're important.
This afternoon I motored over to visit Peter Case, who was up from Connecticut and closing up his house.  He's going in for knee surgery next week, and I thought a Jeepster ride was just what he needed.  Indeed it was.  We drove off toward Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, then turned toward Edgartown and enjoyed a few waves and toots en route.  It was great to drive down Main Street and then up Water and out around the lighthouse.  Coming back along Beach Road was breezy but beautiful.
There's nothing like a great car ride!  Peter compared his Jeep to mine, and marveled at the comfort of the ride with the new system.  It was a treat.
As the season winds down, I have to remember this is a summer car, but I can treasure the memories throughout the year.  And riding around is just the best!
