It’s Thursday. The girlfriend and I took the day off yesterday to take the Vette out for a long overdue spin. The weather was great, too. We had clear blue skies with a temperature in the mid eighties—perfect drop top weather.

We did a lot of driving around the Des Plaines, Kankakee, and the Illinois rivers. We have friends that have a place on the Kankakee river, so we stopped out to check it out. They’ve made some changes since we were last out there, like this crows nest with a skeleton pirate up in a tree watching over their house (pictured right). Pretty cool.

Had a great day, got lots of sun, and can’t wait to do it again!
