Around Here: The Problem With Halloween Lights, Stucky's Sunnyside Gold Carts and a Legion

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30

On the internet much of the morning.  In the afternoon I rolled up the front hose (not real easy as there is 150 feet on it).  I also was able to figure out how to get the Halloween lights back on along the front porch.

We went to Stucky's for the $1 draft beer and I had the special which was a stuffed orange pepper cut out like a jack-o-lantern.  While we were there, five golf cart groups from Sunnyside Tavern came by on a Halloween scavenger hunt and they were all dressed in costumes.  We particularly liked the one group of our friends dressed like the different characters of the Addams Family.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31

After the usual radio and internet, we went to the McHenry American Legion and watched the Bears lose another game.  Then stopped at Sunnyside in Johnsburg on the way home.

White Sox, Margaritaville, Ultimate Jukebox, Steak Fry, Miller Park in McHenry, Legion and Sunnyside

FRIDAY, AUGUST 20

Went to Sunnyside in Johnsburg.  Watched the Sox game there and came home and saw the rest of it.  The Sox won.  Enjoyed Margaritaville (my basement bar) and the Ultimate Jukebox (my 300-disc CD player).

SATURDAY, AUGUST 21

Took a Firebird Cruise through Solon Mill and Spring Grove as well as Pioneer Road.  Liz and I went to the Spring Grove Firefighters steak fry at Horse Fair Park.  Great steak, baked potato and Stade corn on the cob.

We were going to go to Stucky's for their $1 draft beer special, but there must have been 300 people out in the parking lot. Johnsburg was having their annual golf cart tour de force to six bars and they were there.  So, we went to Sunnyside nd had a couple beers there, but when those golf carters started showing up at Sunnyside (last stop) we quickly adjourned back to Stucky's.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 22

As usual, the radio shows in the morning.  I went to Miller Park in McHenry where they had a band playing outside at the gazebo (with the Fox River in the background).  Then to the McHenry American Legion for their famed "Adequate Bloody Mary" for $2.50.  Stopped at Sunnyside on the way home.
