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

A 66 We Will Go-- Day 2-- The Lake and Da Hawks!!

Much nicer weather (sun and NO RAIN!!) on Wednesday and drove US-63 south from Ottumwa into Missouri past several Amish wagons on the road and lots of firework stands at the border.

Gas in Kirkland was $2.50 for regular. Stopped at Wal Mart to buy some VHS-C video tapes but they don't carry them anymore. Also checked out their declining CD selection for the Fratellis' "Costello Music" album for the song "Chelsea Dagger" (the Hawks song), but they didn't have it either.

Played NTN at TGIF's in Columbia and BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wings) in Jefferson City then took US-54 to the Lake of the Ozarks and got a room at the Shawnee Bluff Motel overlooking the lake and enjoyed the view awhile before driving to Osage Beach and playing NTN at Chicago Brothers and back to Lake Ozark where we did the same thing at JJ Twiggs, a new place near the Bagnall Dam.

If you're looking for a northwods lodge in the Ozarks, this is the place to go. JJ Twiggs started about 15 miles away from us back home in Illinois. Since the owners are from the Chicago area, we figured this might be a good place to catch the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup game and it was. There were several other fans there so we had a good time drinking and cheering the boys on.

We left after second period to go to a place across the road (Business US-54) from our motel, also a new one called Road Boaters (also the former JJ Twiggs location) and saw the rest of the game there. When the Flyers tied it up and it went into overtime, we figured the Hawks would lose, but THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!

Go Hawks!! Go Hawks!! Go Hawks!! NHL Stanley Cup Winners, Finally --RoadDog


I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
