SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
Drove to Panera Bread Co. in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group, This month's topic was Lee's First Invasion, 1862. Nothing like getting together with a bunch of like-minded folks to talk about history, drink some coffee and today I had a Bear Claw. That was good as I hadn't had one in a long time.
Afterwards, I drove to Algonquin, and even got through the Algonquin Road-Randall Road intersection without having to wait. That is a first for me. I drive the extra six miles to Algonquin because they have two of my favorite places, Half-Price Books and White Castle. Love those cheap books and CDs at the first place, and, of course, a ten-pack of those beloved Sliders.
Cut the grass and later went to Stucky's in Johnsburg for their $1 pints.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
The usual morning stuff of internet and Breakfast with the Beatles and Rock and Roll Roots on the radio and then watched the first part of the Bears game in Margaritaville, our downstairs bar, then the second half at the McHenry American Legion. Enjoyed one of their Adequate Bloody Marys for $2.50.
I left in the 4th quarter when it became apparent Da Bears were completely outclassed and going to lose (poor Justin Fields in his first start at qb was sacked NINE times) and went over to the nearby Miller Park on the Fox River where I met friend Pam and saw a set by a local performer who put on quite a show. This was the final concert of the summer season there and what a perfect day for it.
Afterwards went back to the Legion for awhile and then home.
Good Times in the Area. --RoadDog
