JSS: TP'd-- Soda-- No Wake Nirvana-- No Wake, the Joke

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. TP'D-- Woke up this morning to find that the sunburst honeylocust tree in front of the house had been TP'd. Not very well, either. Somebody somewhere must like us. Just one roll and only a few drapings. Kind of pretty blowing in the breeze. Reckon I'll have to get out and take it down, but I'm leaving it up for now.


2. SODA-- A band called Soda. If you're ever in the Chicagoland area and get a chance to see these guys, do it. We boated over to our Sunday fun spot, Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake yesterday to see them for the second time this season.

They play everything from the 50s to today and even have a great rap medley (Yes, there are some good rap songs, not many though). They had the place hopping.


3. NO WAKE NIRVANA-- The reason we boated over to Captain's yesterday is that the whole Chain of Lakes is No Wake, meaning boats can not drive fast and make waves. Usually, we don't go out on the weekends because of the idiots in their 80 mph boats, kiddie tubers and just too many boaters in general.

It was great. There were no waves at all and most everyone was definitely going no wake with a few pushing it a bit.

I'd like to have no wake more often. This no wake is because of the flooding, but I sure wouldn't mind having it once a month next summer.


4. NO WAKE, THE JOKE-- And, speaking of No Wake. We have often thought that it would be funny if someone were to take one of the No Wake buoys and put it up by Hamsher Funeral Home which is on Pistakee Lake in Fox Lake, Illinois.

Oh, Well. --RoadDog
