Sunshine and Hot Rods

My final day in Cedar Rapids was pretty much one of relaxation, as all the goals I had for the visit vis-a-vie the exhibit The Tool Cabinet and Workbench of Henry O. Studley were met.

I turns out that in a nearby town was a hot rod gathering, and Jameel and Father John’s dad Father Raphael had been a car buff and knew the organizers for the event.  So off we went to spend a glorious day in the sun looking at the rods from the days of my youth.

After that we went to a huge yard sale with tons of tools, none of which tempted me, and finished off the evening dining on Mexican food.

Thanks to the fantastic contacts the Abrahams have in their home town, the visit was about as perfect and productive as it could be
