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

Around Here: Some Mighty Good Eating

A bit disappointed this weekend for not getting out on the boat.  Too many things to do Friday and Saturday and a bit too cool yesterday. But planning on heading out to the boat after a couple more posts.

FRIDAY, JUNE 6TH:  Va Hospital picnic at the Fox Lake American Legion.  Think one was a World War II veteran, but I was unable to figure out what he said.  On this D-Day 70th anniversary.

Later, Day-After Party at Kevin and Kelly's who continue our End-Of-the School Year parties  Then Antonio's.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH:  Yardwork, then Kaye Jewelers in McHenry to have Liz's engagement ring cut off her finger.  Still haven't found the diamond and think it's gone for good.

Then, we went to the 2nd annual McHenry, Illinois, Summer Taste-Fest, where 19 downtown restaurants offered $1-$2 offerings.  We had mini pork sandwiches and gourmet pizza at Corkscrew Pointe, homemade mac and cheese and chicken salad croissant at Little Chef, funnel cake fries at Windhill Pancake Parlor, mini sloppy joes at the Gambler, mini chopped salad at BuddyZ Pizza, pot stickers at Green Pea Pod and hobo skillet at Green Street Cafe.  Also, went to Old Bridge Tavern to cool off.

There was also a bicycle event going on at Veteran's Park and the Chain O' Lakes Brewing Company had the grand opening of their beer garden with three bands playing from noon to 6.

Then went to Twisted Moose and were disappointed that California Chrome did not win the Triple Crown.

SUNDAY, JUNE 8TH:  Went to Kelly's in Trevor, Wisconsin, to pick up tee shirts and had their excellent half-pound burgers, then to Sequoit Lodge in Antioch, Il., and then saw the Cover Story band at Captain's Quarters.  Last stop at Antonio's.

Good Eatin' in the Neighborhood.  --RoadDog
