JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. SOMEBODY ELSE'S WEATHER-- Yesterday, they sent us someone else's weather. Temps in the 70s and sunny. I forgot what that was like with all the Global Warming we've had around here lately. Even caught some OD time (On Deck) enjoying the sun, trees and bushes. Lots and lots of bees out and about as well.
2. NO PROP DAMAGE-- There was discussion on the Fun on the Fox boating site about how much prop damage was incurred this year. Most had none, and one guy was funny saying he had none, but then hardly got out at all this summer because the weather really sucked on more than one occasion. At the end, he said, "Oh, by the way, did I say the weather REALLY SUCKED." Boy, did it ever.
3. BYE-BYE BOAT (FOR THIS SEASON)-- Tuesday, the marina called to say the boat was ready (we were waiting for the muriatic acid wash), so I went over and picked it up ($570) and towed it over to the farm in Hebron, Illinois (with the basketball water tower honoring the 1952 state champs (a real "Hoosiers" story). Paid $180 for six months to store it. So much for the greatly shortened 2009 season (our 25th). We did get out 37 times from July 18th to October 13th and visited 40 different Chain Bars, many more than once, or twice, or....
4. EATIN' AND PARTYIN' IN 1867 HOTEL-- Last night, we went over to the Fox Hole Pub and Pizza in McHenry, right alongside the Fox River. This place is located in the basement of the old Riverside Hotel dating back to 1867. Had great pizza and watched local area favorite Jim Seig putting on his one-man show. That guy is a human jukebox. At one point, he played two medleys which had at least 40 songs.
5. CREEPY MOVIE-- Also, yesterday, I went to the Fox Lake Theatre and saw "Stepfather." Was that ever a creepy movie. That guy was a much more attractive Freddie Kreuger.
6. INDIANA-NORTHWESTERN GAME-- Saturday, I get together with friends for our annual Northwestern game in Evanston.

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.
