This was a bonus 4th of July with celebrations both weekends and even on the real, authentic day. We spent the first three days fighting some really hot days, but it finally broke yesterday.
THURSDAY
Boating and breakfast on the boat at McDonald's in Fox Lake.. NTN at Donovan's and some good national rankings, seven Top Twenties. Later visits to the Hideout by Petite Lake and Captain's Quarters by Fox Lake.
FRIDAY
Third straight day over 100 degrees. The Fox Lake Bump as gas jumps 20 cents for the second time in a week. Hey, let's get all their money we can!! Stormy Monday and later karaoke at the Legion.
SATURDAY
Temps only in the "cool" 90s. Recorded WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback to 1968. Great tunes and memories. Planning on taking the boat out to watch the fireworks on Fox Lake, but reports called for a storm. Drove instead to Captain's Quarters but way too crowded. Ended up having an excellent view of them from Stormy Monday.
SUNDAY
Bob Stroud did his Rock and Roll Roots show on "Living In the USA." Had that great pizza at All Sports in McCullom Lake and then drove to Wauconda and sat out on the deck and saw Terry Spizzirri and Gregg Spizzirri put on a great show at Docks on a bluff overlooking Bang's Lake.
On the way home, stopped at Route 12 Bar and Grill on the way home and listened to Just Jake singing and playing that guitar which he does so well.
