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

JSS: Das Boat-- Weather-- Shelter Challenge-- Halloween-A-Go-Go

JSS--  Just Some Stuff


1.  DAS BOAT--  Pulled it out of the water and over to Midwest Marine for winterizing Wednesday.  Ready to go yesterday and will pick it up today, bring it home to clean out and then to the barn in Hebron tomorrow.  Looks like our 28th season boating is at an end.


2.  WEATHER--  Took the boat out Wednesday as that was the last decent day in the near future.  Monday to yesterday we were in the upper 70s.  The next five days forecasts call for highs in the 40s and lows near freezing.  Makes me think winter is near.


3.  SHELTER CHALLENGE--  We vote for Shelter Challenge to raise money for our local animal shelter, Save-A-Pet.  We won $1,000 the last contest and are ineligible to win twice in a row, but are still #2 in Illinois, but way behind Animal House in Huntley.

In order to vote, you have to punch in some verifying letters and numbers.  Today, it was particularly hard as they the letter "c" right next to the letter "w."  Almost looked like an "a."

Sadly, this used to be something where you looked at a picture of an animal and spelled it out.  But, it had to be spelled correctly.  "Dog," "cat" and "lion" were evidently TOO HARD for some to spell and they switched to numbers and letters.

4.  .  HALLOWEEN-A-GO-GO/ 1977--  This Sunday, Bob Stroud will be doing his annual Halloween-A-Go-Go show from 7 to 10 AM on WDRV in Chicago.  Three hours of scare-you-to-death music.  That is CDST.

Wendy Rice's Saturday Morning Flashback on WXRT goes back to 1977 from 8 to noon, CDST.
