Just eating ice cream after checking into a KOA in Illinois. The cheapest KOA I've ever stayed at! Just before arriving here I was held at a rail crossing as this massive train with oil cars came through. Triple header (3 locos pulling it) I'm being eaten alive by all the skeeters and other flying bugs.

Met up with Mark and Bruce to join them for golf. When we arrived there was lightening forecast so the course was temporarily closed. Next best thing we went bowling where Mark snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and in the second game he needed a 9 minimum to snatch a victory from my jaws. So he bowled a strike!

After helping Mark count the donations at his Methodist church we went to the 'two brothers brewery' beer festival in Arora where there was good Regge music and better beer.
