We kicked off our Labor Day weekend on Thursday.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 3RD: After cutting the grass, we paid our $4,931 property taxes. And, that is only half of our taxes!! Ouch! We then went boating and stopped at the Dog 'N Suds in Ingleside for some Charcoburgers and mugs o' root beer. There are only about seven left in the U.S. and we have three of them within twenty miles of us. Then went to Sunnyside Tavern.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 4TH: Went to McHenry and bought some flowers on sale at Wal-Mart and Home Depot. After yardwork, I went boating and then to the Johnsburg-Mendota High School football game.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH: Put up our NIU Huskies stuff for our game vs. UNLV later tonight. We went to the Legion and saw the excellent band called the 3 Aces playing 50s-60s and country in the afternoon. Then went to Sunnyside in Johnsburg. Met the man who now owns the old Hatch Farm in Spring Grove there. Fred Hatch is credited with making the first agricultural silo in the world. Came home and watched NIU win the game in a close one. Then enjoyed our Margaritaville bar in the basement and my ultimate jukebox while watching other college games.

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.
