MONDAY-- It was boating time. Floated around then went to Baja Benny's on Fox Lake for their 75 cent draft special. We met up with the Kevin and Kelly and were planning on going across the lake to Captain's Quarters for their $2 rat and fries special and $2 domestic bottles, but the weather got threatening, so put the boats up and met over at Hello Folks in Fox Lake for their $1.50 pint special, NTN (with about seven Top Twenties), and the $2.99 Italian beef and fries. Stopped at the Legion on the way home for their 50 cent draft special.
We like to do things on the cheap as much as possible. Have a good time, but do it cheaply.
TUESDAY: KENOSHA, WISCONSIN, AND THE BREW CREW
Drove around Kenosha during the afternoon. I'll need to go back as there is a lot to do there. They have done a great job on their lakefront, but the fog sure rolled in. Met a teacher buddy (also retired) Paul for dinner at the Golden Corral. Met up with two other retired teacher buddies, Mike and Bob, and we carpooled it to Miller Park in Milwaukee for the Brewer-Padre game.
Huge traffic jam on I-94 north of Racine when it went from three lanes to one. Great planning guys. Big wait at parking as well. Between the two, we didn't get to our seats until the middle of the second. Good game until the sixth, when the Brew Crew got blown out.

BOATING DOWNRIVER
I had the best boating experience of all, boating on someone else's boat, yesterday. Kelly and Kevin drove down he Fox River to McHenry and we went to two new bars that we hadn't visited yet this summer: Old Bridge and Bimbo's. With these two, we have now been to a total of 27 different bars by boat on the Chain of lakes and Fox river this summer. We estimate there are about another five we haven't been to.
We also revisited After the Fox, Snug Harbor, and going back, the Aquarium on Nippersink Lake.
The deals on Wenesday:
Old Bridge-- $2 domestic, $1 PBR drafts
Bimbo's-- none
After the Fox-- $5 pitchers
Snug Harbor-- $3 Long Island Ice Teas, half-price appetizers (recommend the Caribbean rings and Margaritaville Nachos
Aquarium-- $1.25 12 oz drafts, 25 cent wings
Hey, cheaper is nicer!!!

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