Good Times Last Weekend-- Part 3: Summer Songs, a Band and Sunnyside

JUNE 23, SATURDAY--  Drove to Crystal Lake, Illinois, for the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group meeting at Panera.  Today's discussion was Civil War Logistics which proved to be quite interesting.  Then went to Barnes & Noble and bought a couple magazines.  I sure enjoy going into that place.

Then I did yardwork and trimming despite the fact that it wasn't quite dry yet, but you do the best you can in the rainy season which we evidently have.

Drove over to Choppers in Antioch, Illinois, and sat out on the deck and enjoyed the band Aging Teen Idols and then went to Time To Bite, a fishing/bar).  We got Chain Crawl stamps at both places since they are on the Chain of Lakes.

JUNE 24, SUNDAY--  Bob Stroud played his annual Root Salute to Summer on his Rock and Roll Roots show on WDRV, 97.1 FM.  No better way to get into a summer kind of mood.  I'll be listing his summer songs next week.

Did some more yardwork and bush trimming and then went to Stucky's in Johnsburg and saw the band Element, but didn't much like their kind of hard rock.  Ended up at Sunnyside and had quite a good time playing oldies on the jukebox with the regulars.

Is Summer Finally Here?  (Well, I did pick up the boat from the barn in Hebron yesterday.)  --RoadDog
