Happy Wednesday Morning,

We have another weekend of big annual events taking place!

And again, that's in addition to all the weekly/monthly cars and coffees and meet-ups.

So, maybe pick the big annual event(s) you plan to attend.  And then target a nearby cars and coffee meet-up to stop at prior. 

Just an idea. :0)  Have fun and be safe!

Filler' up or charger' up - whatever you're drivin'.

Best,
