WHAT MADE YOU HAPPY or SMILE TODAY? - the sequel thread

[YFCvii]

Resurrecting this “upbeat” thread Title as I miss it.
The original one changed to Thoughts of the Day which is still there for anyone to post in.

With 2020 being such a crap year since March 15th, I find whatever I can to bring a smile to myself and/or into my space.
So this thread is reincarnated for sharing the upbeat moments that you want to share in your day

While getting to check out a sweet 2019 vert ...
add one more CCF member I’ve known of for quite some time and finally get to meet.
He is on a 700km day-run from YEG to YYC today and took time to stop by my stable.
Found more than our Corvettes to chat about as although we did not know of eachother,
we were raised in close neighboring YEG communities in late 60's and early 70's.
Schools, the public swimming pool and much more in common.
Until the next time for continuing our chat today ...
Cheers & thank you @Dik

Fired up my '85 C4 today. It had been sitting for a year. Hooked up a friend's spare battery and within about 15 seconds the car was running It settled into an idle after another 15 seconds.

Hey SN-III.

Thanks for the kind words and what a pleasure to finally meet "The Man", SN-III. It was cool to learn you're from the same neighbourhood. Proof again it is indeed a small world.

It was a very good day ....

Awesome man! Small world: you just never know when these things will happen and when they do, it is so cool!

What makes me happy: hearing that my black 3LT is being built next week! Hoping for an end-of-Sept. delivery and the chance to take it for a couple of spins before the snow flies! Perhaps a tour of the Lake Superior coastline to view the fall colours!

Have a great day all!

We have had unbelievable weather: hot and sunny - not a lot of humidity; but, smoke from down south - big time fires! You must have long cold winters? We use to live in Winnipeg for a year as my wife was going to school at the HSC there: skied - name - can't find it - good memory just short - LOL. We are from London Ont. - lived 1/2 my life here though - getting very busy and hectic here now though.

Yup...VERY long winters....Superior is great but it is also a weather maker....I'll take the trade off, but it sucks for a seaonal car!

Pretty nice here; but, very very expensive place to live for newbies coming our way! I moved here because BC - especially, where I live , has the best climate - ie. minimal snow; but, lots of rain. If I get a C8 I would plan on driving it most of the time unless snow, salt etc on the road - very seldom that happens.

l lived in Van from 1986 till 2012 you are correct about the climate but the traffic in the lower mainland is like LA but next summer l want to drive my C8 out to visit some BROs and do a few rips on the Cocahalla and sea to sky the best roads in Canada.

Took the Zee out for a nice run with the Mrs. and stopped for a nice patio dinner. We hadn't done that yet this year.

Where in Ontario do you reside? I'm from the Soo! Also I took a drive north (Lake Superior) yesterday and the trees are just starting to turn.....I suspect they will be in full colours in two weeks!

Your anticipation must be high! Ha ha

Fall 2020 has hibernation just around the corner. Burned a tank of fuel today with 2 Corvette friends. Lunch at the Powderhorn Saloon in Bragg Creek and then cruising throughout K-Country. A bit of California Smoke but tolerable.
