Friday night, had to run up to Costco to return some stuff then to Cucho's Tacos. The place is pretty good. Back home to watch Dr. Giggles. Saturday, went up to Six Mile to pick up an 80s or 90 era Craftsman Radial Arm saw from a friend cleaning out his barn. I'm going to try to restore it for the sake of content. Then over to Clemson to visit with some other friends for a bit. One more stop to have a few beers before calling it a night. Sunday, manage to get the saw unloaded and into my building without any damage to the truck or myself. Got my building cleaned up a little bit before it got too hot but still a long way to go in there.

Was off almost all last week, so...

Wednesday, went to festival in downtown Pineville. They have a new social district that allows you to wander the streets with open containers of alcohol, which is nice. Checked out the vendors, listened to the classic rock cover band, stopped in to see if the second location of Two Buck Saloon was anything special (it wasn't). Got hungry and headed over to Fort Mill and ate at Ilios Crafted Greek, which was phenomenal.

Thursday, Got to the Whitewater Center around 4:00 and sat through all three bands in near 100 degree heat. Opener was Cece Coakley, sort of an emo Taylor Swift...meh. Second was JB Strauss from Macon with a nice country rock/Southern rock set. 49 Winchester was the headliner, third time we've seen them and the set was fantastic. Met up with p6fuller® and his wife and had a blast.

Friday, drove up to Cabarrus Brewing Charlotte for an outdoor show with Ace Monroe and Seven Year Witch co-headlining. Second time seeing Ace, they have a great Aerosmith vibe. SYW is from Anderson, and I would describe them as a very gymnastic cross between Black Sabbath and early Seattle grunge. Both bands were great, but SYW amazed me with their energy running around the stage in 100-degree heat. Also, they turned in a solid version of War Pigs LOUD.

Saturday, lots of yard work and chores, then rode out to Johnny Walker's Burnt Mill in Blacksburg, SC to watch fireworks. This my friends, was a dive bar experience worthy of its own standalone post, which I'll get too later...but I will say that if you ever get the chance, you NEED to go experience this place. Look them up on Facebook if you have an account and scroll through the pictures to get an idea. And that STILL won;t do the place justice.

Sunday, grocery run, errands, the rode to Pineville to see what was in the new food court they added on to the Super G International Grocery. Lots of good Asian food stalls, but we ended up going into the grocery side and getting a bunch of fresh produce and went home and made a Greek salad.

Simply put, the week+end was 190/19 Covids.

Thurs - went to Greenjackets game for 'merica overload. Baseball, couple beers, hotdogs, and fireworks. Middle daughter (no pigs) was at the game with the italian exchange students that she was hosting. Those kids ate it up. Awesome pregame national anthem with full color guard presentation. Also had run-in with "creepy joe" guy (that is what security at the ball park called him). Had a problem with this guy 10+ years ago in Aiken when wife and I were first getting together. This dude is super weird, dresses in all black, has a camera on one hip and a fanny pack on the other hip like he is some kind of photographer, but really he just uses it as a ruse to take pictures of the wimmens. He goes to all the games over there and I recognize him all the time. I walked off to go to the head and this dude sidles up to my wife and "watches the game." I come back and he wanders off but is still hanging nearby, so I go over and have some words with him. He scampered off like a scalded dog. Anyway, the attendant standing next to us notifies security and they come keep an eye on him. Other than that it was a great night.

Fri - Hit Grumpy's with wife and little one for wings. Fantastic as always. Made it out for a little karaoke. Not much else, crash.

Sat - Lazy af all day, and it was everything you imagine it could be.

Sun - Watch a little golf, failed at fixing brakes on son's car. Me, wife, little one met bro, SIL, and their adopted son at Mellow Mushroom for some food since kid is getting his asss sent off to Camden Military as I type this. Go next door for music bingo, did not win. Home for a few episodes of Trailer Park Boys.
