Growing Older, But Not Up-- Part 1

As Jimmy Buffett would say. OK, so I'm 59 and a few days.

But, I still feel like a just-out-of-college student a lot of time.

Proof in the pudding is the last two weekends.

MAY 30th we went to Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake for our annual summer kick-off. It just "ain't summer" until we've been to Captain's for a Sunday afternoon party. The group Soda played and most of the members are from a favorite band called The Only Sons. It would be hard to imagine a better group for a Sunday out on the Chain of Lakes.

We're at outside bar overlooking the lake with all the boaters and bikers coming in and out.

We also enjoyed the $3.75 Johnsonville brats and fries, but weren't too happy about the $3.25 bottles of beer, but, somebody's got to cover expenses.

MAY 31st was Memorial Day and we drove to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, about ten miles north. Traditionally, we have drinks at Main Street tap and enjoy the parade, but due to thunderstorms around weren't sure they were going to have it. They did and I enjoyed the two marching bands, my favorite part of any parade.

Later, drank beer and played NTN at Donovan's Reef with quite a few Top twenties.

Always Great to Chill Out Here in the Northeastern Part of Illinois. Out on the Chain and Feeling No Pain. --RoadDog


I Wonder: If the professor on Gilliagan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix the hole in the boat?
