At the Wisconsin campground this weekend it stormed on and off. I didn't get a chance to drive our new (to us) side by side until Saturday evening when things cleared up. Sheila stayed home to work, so I was there by myself.
I thought the ATV trail to one town would be like a gravel or dirt road. But remember those storms I mentioned? The trail was a miles long mud pit with hills and twisties. Deep ruts, water-filled holes and big rocks lined the way. The Polaris got through fine though it got really dirty. So did my left arm. The thing has doors but not side windows. The ride was loud, bumpy and fun.
I didn't stop for pictures because I wanted to complete the trip before sunset. Finding the trailhead confused me. An elderly couple in an elderly Buick stopped to help, because I was by their driveway looking around. Those nice people pointed me in the right direction and wished me luck on my first side by side adventure.
When I got back to our RV I switched to my truck and drove to a different town. There's a tap room I visited there last time that I really like (and wrote about earlier).
"Longest name on the menu" is how I chose my beer: 3 Sheeps Roll Out the Barrel Chardonnay Barrel Aged Belgian Golden Ale. It is 10.7% ABV so it's a 12 ounce pour instead of a pint. It was excellent.
Initially I considered the Drekker Chonk Funky Sundae Sour. Though a shorter name, it was more creative. The bartender, whom I'd talked with about beers, suggested I taste a sample before ordering one. I'm glad she did, because I did not like the Sundae Sour. It was too sweet, and it had the consistency of V8 juice which I didn't care for in anything besides V8, bloody Marys and Wisconsin beer cheese soup.
Runner up, and something to order (or at least sample) next weekend is the Founders Rübæus Raspberry Nitro Fruit Beer. I am not fond of nitro beers. They taste flat to me. But a lengthy name containing an umlaut and a dipthong? I gotta try that!
I'd already had dinner so I didn't have room for pizza. A couple at the bar had the Octoberfest pizza and raved about it. The green apple was a good topping, the said. I hope it's on the menu next week.
It was very dark on the drive back to the campground. I saw only one deer.
This morning I came home, stopping once for a breakfast sandwich and some fuel. I smiled at that pump price. First time in a few years I've seen it under $3/gallon.
The McDonalds was having somewhat of a crisis morning. I had ordered ahead using the app which works remarkably well. When I walked in a customer in front of me had his bag handed to him under the mostly closed gate. I waited patiently as I wondered about that. Eventually a young person who seemed to be in charge opened the gate. She told me they were out of hash browns so I'd get French fries instead. I can live with that.
Other young employees weren't in uniform. Finally a kid in a McD uniform walked in, then walked out, then walked back in. He did not do the Hokey Pokey and turn himself about which disappointed me. Maybe he was debating whether to partake in that morning's restaurant chaos. Eventually I received my order and headed home.

Sunday Morning Coffee: A Ramble
Sunday Morning Coffee: A Ramble
It’s been a long time since I had a summer cold. I’d forgotten how nasty they can be. I certainly don’t want to share it with anyone else! We have a lovely clear day here. It’s only 65 outside, with a predicted high of 84. Bearable. A great relief from the heat we’ve been having. Now, we just need a little rain. Well, we need a LOT of rain. I read about the areas that have been dealing with…

This is what I paid for gas today! Can’t believe I’m happy about it!
My little gas station on the corner is still .45 cheaper than the big boys. It’s cash only but still.

The Best Place to Buy Gas in Jamaica
The Best Place to Buy Gas in Jamaica
Greetings! Road-trip season is here! but you may want to top up your vehicle before heading out. You don’t want to run out of gas in Ochi! It may be cheaper to hire a wrecker to tow your vehicle back to Kingston than it is to top up in Ochi to drive back! That is my, a little exaggerated way, of saying gas in Ochi is expensive. By extension, the entire western end of the island has inflated gas…

My local “Mom & Pop” gas station dropped their prices last week from $4.09 to $3.75. The big corporate fuel centers dropped their prices from $4.19 to $4.09.
Now there is no way that Mom & Pop pay less for fuel than the corporate fuel centers!
Another example of corporate America sticking it to us!

I think the last time I saw gas prices this low was before the turn of the century.

Sunday drive redux
Word is that the Sunday drive is making a comeback - a phenomenon driven (so to speak) by cheap gas, cabin fever and a desire to slip the surly bonds of stay-home orders and get back in motion.
With so many other entertainment options closed in these days of the pandemic, it makes sense, I guess, to load up on snacks, put the kids in the car, pick a nearby town you’ve never seen and take a ride. If nothing else, it’s a change of scenery.
It was a real thing when I was growing up. Sometimes my dad would take us to count cows in the countryside west of Detroit. Other times we would “window shop” the plush new houses going up in the suburbs.
It wasn’t a bad way to kill an hour or two on a slow Sunday afternoon.

Statewide Stay at Home Order and Cheap Gas.
Like many other states, my home state (North Carolina) just ordered a statewide Stay at Home mandate until April 29th. I got temporarily laid off due to the coronavirus (I do not have it) more than a week ago, for two weeks. Obviously now that’s extended. I’m glad to be getting the stimulus check (though it should be for more and it should be recurrent, like Canada is doing) and I also…
