Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Off to See the Eagles-- Part 1-- When Do I Go Out to Pasture?

Yesterday, we drove to East Dubuque, Illinois, right across the Mississppi River from Dubuque, Iowa.

We stopped on McHenry to return a Tom Tom GPS home charger. Figured since they were going out of business, it was a good thing.

Then, went across Il-31 to Wal Mart to buy some VHSC tapes for the camcorder and micro cassettes for the dictaphone. Not good, they only had one two-pack of VHSCs and no longer sell the micro cassettes. Seems like everything I like and regularly use is going the way of the dinosaur. Can I be far behind? Decided to go ahead and buy a five-pack of 120 minutes cassette tapes, another thing on its way out.

Stopped in Belvedere, Illinois, and bought a four pack of VHSCs and again, Wal Mart didn't have the dictaphone tapes.


NTN IN ROCKFORD

Played NTN at two new places in Rockford, Buffalo Wild Wings (or BW3 as we call it from the old days) and Don Carter Lanes. We had a #17 at BW3. Almost 10% sales tax in Rockford!!!
