The anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944).
Went to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsburg for the Monday beer special.
TUESDAY, JUNE 7
Met the Sunnyside folks at Granny's Diner in Johnsburg (right on the Fox River) for breakfast and did some shopping in McHenry. I was shocked at gas gouge prices again which are now as high as $5.86 and $5.90. But one place had an even more "reasonable" price of $5.51. Curse you Big Oil GRBs for making me thing $5.51 was a good price.
Later met Sue and Paul (who I went with to the Indy 500) and Pete and Gail at Half-Times in Johnsburg for pizza and catching up.
Afterwards, Liz and I went over to the classic car show at the McHenry Moose Lodge and enjoyed the Rosie & the Rivets band playing oldies.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8
I was really sad to learn that one of my all-time favorite deejays, Bob Stroud was going to retire at the end of this month. I've been listening to him a long time, the last 21 years of Chicago's WDRV, the Drive. But, the good news is that it is only a semi-retirement as he will continue doing his Ten at Ten and One 45 at 1:45 shows Monday to Friday and his Rock and Roll Roots show on Sundays.
Gas in Twin Lakes was $5.20, so guess where I filled up? Went to Donovan's Reef for trivia and then home.
