Ending March: No Sliders for Me, Boring Elite 8, Stucky's, Cullom Knoll and Legion

SATURDAY, MARCH 26

I then drove over to White Castle to buy some Sliders, but there must have been 12 cars in line at the drive-thru.  I tried the front door, but it was still locked.  Come on guys, you can open up now.  So, no Sliders for me.

Disappointed, I got back in the car and drove home, stopping along the way at the new Popeye's in McHenry and bought the shrimp box which was quite good (but not Sliders).

We went to Stucky's and enjoyed the $1 pints and watched two very boring games in the Elite 8.  I guess we got spoiled in the NCAA Tournament up to now with all those upsets and close games.  Those Sweet Sixteen ones Thursday and Friday were eight of the best-ever Tournament games.

**********************************

SUNDAY, MARCH 27

We went to Cullom Knoll in McCullom Lake near McHenry for their $6 pizza special and $6 pitchers.  Then checked out the newly redone inside of the McHenry American Legion before going to Stucky's on the way home for the NASCAR party.  I actually was watching the NASCAR race more than the NCAA Tournament games as they were again blowouts.

Here's hoping that the Final Four will be better than the Elite 8.

Last Week: Donovan's Reef, Bristol 45 Diner, Wilmot Riverside and the Legion

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2

Met Kevin and Kelly at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, but didn't play trivia.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3 

Met the former Magee teachers at Bristol 45 Diner in Bristol, Wisconsin.  Always great reliving those old memories and having that great Mediterranean omelet.  Lots of 50s stuff all over the walls.

For dinner, met Kevin and Kelly at the Wilmot Riverside in Wilmot, Wisconsin, but didn't have the famed fish fry as we have found they also have a real good shrimp fry.  Then, we went to the Fox Lake, Illinois, American Legion for Jeopardy and 50-50.

Just Got Back From PCB-- Part 4: Sun, Bars and Eatin'

TUESDAY, FEB. 6

Kinda cold this morning, but warmed up nicely.  Caught some rays on the deck.  Best day we've had so far.

We've been trained well by three local sparrows to feed them whenever they chirp.

Went back to Patches and, unbelievably, got a place to sit inside.  Had cheap beer at Shuckums and split a half pound of fresh steamed shrimp.  Donovan's of course.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7

Another nice day for the deck.  At the Driftwood Lodge, our front door is about 200 feet from the Gulf of Mexico and with  all that super white sand.  Went looking for Cici's pizza, a favorite of ours, but it was closed.  Ended up in Panama City at Golden Corral and all that food.  Donovan's, of course.
