And, after a very rainy and cool spring, we have nothing but upper 90s forecast for the next several days. Eighties don't bother me much, but nineties do.
Wasn't too happy to be awakened by the cell phone saying it needed recharging at 4:30 AM and then just couldn't get back to sleep. That means a day of tired eyes unless I pick up a nap.
And, at 4:30, it was fairly light outside then and daylight just after 5; hey, the longest day of the year.
Enjoyed looking at the west end of the yard and the arboretum, then went to the kitchen to get my cup of coffee and sat out on the front porch and watched neighbor Dan across the street training his dogs to jump some short onstacles. Well, one Prince Charles Spaniel, Colby, is jumping all five (for a treat at the end). The other, Sully, just looks at him like "Are you crazy, man."
And, in a little bit, we're planning to drive north to K.C.'s Cabin at the corner of Wilmot Road and Il-173 for their great breakfasts and even better today (Friday) it is buy one get one free.
Then, Bob Stroud does his annual Summer Ten at Ten show on WDRV at 10 AM and 10 PM. Ten songs guaranteed to get you in the mood for the solstice (or is it equinox, I can never remember). Sunday morning he has his annual Summer Show from 7 to 10 AM (Central). Three hours of summer songs from the 60s and 70s. Streams at www.wdrv.com .
Later, I plan to pick up the boat from the marina where it has been detailed. Hopefully we'll be boating for our 29th season on those great Chain of Lakes located a couple miles from the house by Monday. We usually don't go out on the weekends as there are way too many boats. Weekdays we essentially have the lakes to ourselves.
Then, either Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes or sitting out on the deck at Dirty Rooster overlooking Grasslake, Stormy Monday overlooking Fox Lake or the $10 slab or ribs meals at Captain's Quarters.
Saturday it's Terry Spizzirri at Dock's overlooking Bangs Lake in Wauconda, classic cars at the local Dog 'N Suds in Ingleside and a band outside at Captain's at night (our hours, 7 to 11 PM).
Sunday, an afternoon band at Captain's.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
