JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. MALLARD NEST-- A mama mallard scared me a bit this morning while I was working out in the yard. She quacked and moved off her nest by the air conditioner. This is the second year I've had a mallard nest in the yard. I don't know exactly why they pick the house to have their babies as we're not near any water. How do the get the little peepers to water?
2. FINISHED RETAINING WALLS-- Tuesday, I finished the retaining walls along the west side of the house. I figured I'd be finished a week and a half ago, but one wall leads to another. There are about 80 landscaping stones on about ten different levels. Now, I am transplanting perennials over to the area.
3. BOAT TO MARINA-- Tuesday, Liz cleaned up the inside of the boat and I polished the hull. Yesterday, I took it to the marina over by Antioch to have it prepared for BOATING we will go. Hopefully, we'll be on the water by next week.
4. GAS GOUGE-- continues. We're getting poorer and poorer while Big Oil gets richer and richer. Gas in Antioch was $3.97 to $4. Wisconsin was $3.97 and Fox Lake anywhere between $3.92 and $4. They're destroying this country to get richer.
In keeping with my efforts to cut down on gas consumption, I drooped the boat off, checked out a nursery over the border in Wisconsin, checked out a new NTN site in Antioch, and played NTN at Hello Folks in Fox Lake.
5. WON AT NTN-- As I said, I stopped at a new place, VIP's, in Antioch to play NTN. They've had it about a month and the owner is hoping it catches on. Nice place, and on Wednesdays they have 50 cent wings, $2 domestic bottles, and $4 pitchers. These are prices I can live with.
Drove to Fox Lake and took part in the NTN tournament. There was a play-in round since we had ten players. Happy to report that I won for the day and will go to the final four competition in June.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
