On the first day at 4:04 PM the Old Man arrives. Guy wins!
A wide temperature range 38-77°! Amazing weather for most of the stay. Congratulations to Guy for experiencing his first Yakfest as a retiree. We're all jealous!
Two fires?
We watched the World Series, one game the Yankees lost a 5-0 lead due to errors. There was much rejoicing!
Relaxation was first on the list. Nice to get away. The evenings were filled with food, drink, and camaraderie. As usual, Buck fixed the gang wonderful cocktails. Monkey 47! The Old Man once again bought Andy's Candies for us. Trips to the distillery and smoke shop were pondered, but we remained on premises. Dave and Mark did enjoy famous foot long hot dogs at Bert's Hot Dog Shop.
