Chicago’s Labor Day Weekend with Beer

Running a little late getting this out: out 10-year old 50″ TV gave out, so we spent a few days shopping, and got a 55″ 4K. It took a lot of work getting this mounted to the old wall mounts, then going through the setup. We’re still not sure how to get to just our local TV channels. Should have just gotten another “dumb” TV to use with our Roku stick, but they don’t make those any more.

I have a preview of upcoming Oktoberfest events. It’s now live at this link!

As is my practice, my weekend events before Monday holidays will just go through Fridays through Sundays. Many places announce over the weekend whether they will even be opened of closed on Monday. I get it; most customers would be out of town on a 4-day weekend.
