TUESDAY, AUGUST 31
We were going to meet Kevin and Kelly, Glenn and Barb at BB*Q in Spring Grove, but they weren't open and we fear are closed for good. Fall-back plan was Stucky's in Johnsburg, Illinois, and their great half-price burger and $2 domestic cans special on Tuesdays.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
FP (Front Porch) which I do every day for breakfast and coffee. The FP chipmunk has me trained so well as his or her food requirements. I had to help the guy from Buck Brothers push the lawn tractor across the yard and up a small hill to get it on the trailer so he could take it back to Wauconda to have them find out why it stopped running last week. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.
As usual, met Kevin and Kelly at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin for trivia and drinks.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
Drove to McHenry, Illinois, where gas had jumped to $3.46 for Labor Day and Hurricane Ida. Big Oil needs to make their profit, you know. Sad to see that Meijer is now requiring face masks, but at least they had three bricks of cassette recording tapes. Bought three hostas and two red perennials at Meijer as well for $4 apiece. Then bought five small mum plants for $1.25 each and two $4 gladidora perennials at Home Depot.
Found out the lawn tractor would cost $380 to fix and was happy to hear it as I was figuring that I'd have to replace my 27-year-old John Deere and that would be over $3,000. So, I was happy about that.
Later went to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsbirg and had probably the best hot dog ever for $2 and a dollar extra forb tater tots.
