Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

The Local Dealer, the Cozy, Double J and the Curve

APRIL 22ND

We ended up taking the '03 Malibu over to the local Chevrolet.  Not that we wanted to, but because the check engine light came on the day before.  Don't want to have problems on the road going home.

Friendly Chevrolet, on the southwest side of town took it in right away and had to wait for a part, but had us out of there in a little over two hours and a little over $200 lighter.  Something about something with emissions.  Very friendly place and great popcorn, coffee and pop while you wait,   Sure like the looks of the '13 Malibus.

We were way too late for breakfast at Charlie Parker's so went to Cozy Dog for the Cozy Dog special (4 Cozy dogs and a large fries for $9.50).  You can't go to Springfield without eating at Route 66's Cozy Dog.  While we were there a tour bus came in with people from welcome centers around Illinois` who were finishing a five-day excursion around the state to experience some of the sites and places.

Hung around the motel and enjoyed the first bit of springlike weather and then went to Capital City and played NTN with JJ, Rusty and Peaches and then to the Curve Inn for 25 cent wings.  Lastly back to the motel's Southside Pub and watched the Bulls win their playoff game against the Nets.
