The Car Show
We took place in the Illinois Secretary of State Vehicle show again this year, for the third year in a row. That is to say, Kevin entered three vehicles and I drove the Thing there and back plus I mostly sat in a folding chair and attempted to not melt from the heat. Because yes, it was hot, and there was all that blacktop...here we are with Kevin's friend and fellow 114th Regiment comrade, Derek, who drove the Cadillac. That job had been assigned to Glenn the other years, but Glenn wasn't available this year and Derek was more than happy to step in. He's another car-loving guy. Kevin had...

Other Stuff in August.
The fun things in August were Kevin's birthday celebration, including an awesome kayak down Long Bay, plus a festive birthday dinner. And then the fair with Bev was also enjoyable. But after the...

The Fair! Part Two
Way back in August, Monday Aug. 17th to be exact, after leaving Conservation World Bev and I headed over to see the Butter Cow. I'm looking kind of bedraggled here; I think that's just how you get...
The Fair! Part One
Bev and I went to the fair on Monday, August 17th, Senior Day, and had a grand time. We hurried to get there because Bev wanted to see her former tapper group perform; they were scheduled for 9:45....
