Today was one of those perfect fall days with sun and temps in the 70s that are soon to pass on ion favor of winter's cold, so we took full advantage of it.
Sat out on the deck for awhile and wrote in my journal while listening to Bob Stroud on the drive.
Then, Liz and I got part way to the boat when we realized we'd left the boat key at home, so had to come back. My excuse is old age, but I used to do that in my younger days as well. Gas was "down" to $3.30 in Fox Lake.
Boated over to McDonald's where we ate breakfast out on the boat. I am sad to report they DO NOT HAVE McRIBS THOUGH!!!! Fed the ducks.
We then boated over to Baja Benny's and joined a bunch of friends out on the deck and watched the Bear-Falcon game. Tough life, but somebody's got to do it. Had a great view of Fox Lake and enjoyed the drink specials: $5 pitchers and $10 buckets (5bottles of domestic). And, of course, "Juice" and free hot dogs at half.
There wasn't much to cheer about in the first half, but then the Bears went up by one point with eleven seconds left. Believe it or not, Atlanta went right down the field and got a field goal to win 22-20 as time expired. That was a hard one to take. Da Bears are now 3-3 after losing three games they could have just as easily won. Oh well, at least it was a great day.
Got to watch Michael Turner, an ex-NIU player do his league leading rushing thing. I'm glad he is finally getting his chance to shine.
Floated around Mineola Bay afterwards and stopped by C's in Johnsburg, Illinois on the way home. It used to be Tom's Cafe and was owned by a good friend of ours. Carl, the new owner, is going to keep most things the same.
A Good Day of Boating and NOT Many of Those Left Now. --RoadDog
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.
