Jimmy Buffett Concert (at Woodstock?)

Had a few people over to the rig last night to watch a broadcast of the Jimmy Buffett concert on Margaritaville.TV.   One of the neighbors said it was kind of like Woodstock.  (Um, yeah.  No.)  Only one picture because I didn't get any shots before it was too dark, but had probably 8-14 people at any one time.  Also a good test of a new recipe of Key Lime Martinis*.

Was a good test (for football season) since cutting the cord of the new set up with the FireTV, the projector unit and the screen.  Got to be really dark, though.  At least 15-20 minutes after sunset.


* - Key Lime Martini Recipe:

1 part Eagle Brand Milk
1 part Pineapple Juice
1 part Lime Juice
1 part Whipped Cream (or Vanilla) Vodka

Ready for the fall and next spring

One of the nice things about staying at a seasonal site (like here in Timber Ridge Campground) in the summer on the same site is being able to buy and store your firewood, and your "stuff" over the winter.

Guy down the road sells a 1/2 rick for $35 and a whole rick for $60.  You load, you haul.  Got the whole rick in the fall of 2017, lasted till this June.  Got the half rick this time, which should last through next June again.  We'll see.

Lunch at Marblehead

Connie and I had lunch today with our friend, Karen, over at Marblehead.  Both of us had perch knowing that our time to get Lake Erie perch is growing shorter.

Had a great time catching up.  Don't get together often enough.

All Star Game in Cleveland

Fortunate to have a daughter who's a "big deal" in the Cleveland sports scene.  Her husband James was out of town, so she had an extra ticket to the MLB All Star Game in Cleveland.

Started out dropping Connie off to stay with Bethany's mother in law Linda, then Uber'd downtown to the Margaritaville in Cleveland.






Walked over to the big deal's digs at First Energy Stadium and got to see her new office.



Walked from there up to around Progressive Field to the old Alice Cooper Bar (not even sure what it's named now) to have a Daddy/Daughter dinner.



After that, we walked over to the Stadium for the game.  Had a great time with great seats.  Caught a T-shirt, and saw some really memorable events.

RIP Dave Swindler

My Junior and Senior year in HS, this guy gave me trombone lessons in my hometown. Began making me believe after HS, I could make the OSU Marching Band even though I played football my JR and SR years. Took the time to drive me to C’bus for these new things called “summer sessions” on campus. Was the beginning of the best experience of my life, one for which I’m forever indebted to him. RIP, Dave.
