After the rainy weekend, and I do mean RAINY, we've had four straight days of absolutely perfect weather. As such, we have been out in the boat four straight days, Tuesday to today.
We're trying to save gas as much as possible, so this year mostly go out to the middle of Fox Lake or Mineola Bay, turn the engine off and float. Liz works crossword puzzles and I catch up on my magazines while listening to the Drive play that great classic music.
Boat radios are generally pretty worthless and the one that came with our Bayliner sets the standard. Last year the cassette player conched out (just TRY to find a cassette player any more) and the Drive is the only station we can get any reception on.
We do a lot of drifting, so every so often we get up close and personal with some good folks on shore, so we have to turn the boat on and putt back out to the middle.
We've now been out 29 times, not bad considering the flooding in the spring and THE THUMB.

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.
