After a good breakfast at the Hampton Inn, we set out for the Henry Ford Museum that is visible from our hotel room window. Unfortunately, Jack discovered that sometime during the night his left rear tire had gone flat. In the 
middle of a 20 minute rain shower he changed the tire with the help of Doug and me. We will look at it later on.
We arrived at the museum and I found a parking space right up front. We bought tickets just after the museum opened and eagerly hit the exhibit floor. This was my first time at "The Henry" and it is quite a place. They have a locomotive in there that is an Allegheny Class steam engine. It is immense and to get in into the exhibit hall they mounted permanent rails into the floor! There are many, many cars, airplanes, railroad apparatus, tractors and all kinds of "stuff". They have a Model T that they take apart and then reassemble every day. They have the biggest steam driven power generator that I have ever seen. It was from the Ford Highland plant and the building was more or less built around it.
Well, we had lunch at the museum and didn't leave until after 4:00 PM. On the way home we stopped at a gas station and Jack filled
up the flat tire with some fresh air. Later, we'd check the pressure to see if it was still leaking (it was). When we got back to the hotel a group of five (5) Model As had just arrived from Indiana. There was a '31 Fordor SW sedan, a '30 Tudor, a '29 Roadster, a '30 Cabriolet and another Fordor.
