This past weekend was more like any summer weekend prior to 2020 around here.
FRIDAY, JUNE 4
Met friends at Cuda's on Grasslake Road and had their wonderful fish fry. Love those Midwest fish fries. All-you-can-eat for $9.99.
Then we decided to check out a bar we hadn't been to in a long time, Lake View on the west shore of Grasslake. It was Jackson Bay for a long time (I even deejayed there quite often). It was still open and great timing as they had $1 draft pints. I don't believe there is a better place to view the Chain of Lakes than from their deck.
SATURDAY, JUNE 5
Dennis and Vince came over to get my '85 Firebird running. What was to be a simple choke replacement proved to be more than that. This past winter, I had them redo the interior and exterior of it. It looks great right now, just doesn't run.
We went to Stucky's in Johnsburg to play live trivia, but they didn't have it, but, just the same, we enjoyed the $1 draft beers.
SUNDAY, JUNE 6
Of course, in the morning, I recorded Bob Stroud's Salute to the Summer of 1971 where he played the songs on the radio and in our record collections on June 6, 1971. This is an annual summer event for me. Then we went to the McHenry American Legion for Bloody Marys and then to the Polish Legion (PLAV) for their street party honoring a past commander who died over this past winter.
For $10 we got all we could eat and drink along with a band and karaoke.
As I used to say, Good Times in the Area.
