Hi all. I'm wondering how many of you will be in Old Orchard and open on Friday, for the sneak preview day. The weather is worrying me and I am considering being open Sat. and Sun. only. What are the rest of you doing? After two days in Buffalo Grove, the weather is proving to be a challenge.

I forgot my Gatorade last weekend and paid for it during breakdown. I'll try to make it to your side over the weekend. Stay cool.
It comes in canisters like lemonade. It's not easy to find (At least not in my area): I buy it whenever I see it. YOu are more likely to find at at the beginning of summer.
YOu can buy small canisters at Walmart. They are usually put up high, top shelf, in area wherever the lemonade mix is. The big canisters I buy at Sam's Club: again I can only find them in early summer. I've occasionally found them at stores when I'm on the road. I then reuse the small canister to carry some with me to a hotel, just mixing it up fresh each day.
I have leg pain from standing too much, plus humidity aggravates it. A tough teardown will also make me sore. Drinking the Gatorade does make a difference. More noticeable when it is hot. I continue it for an hour or two afterward. It’s sweet, which I don’t like, but I drink it for the effect, not for the taste.
You can get better hydration powders (less sugar) at camping stores, but that is more trouble than I want, to hunt them out. I used them for western canyon hiking years back. If I still did serious hiking I would go for them. The Gatorade is good enough for art fair use.
I was going to open on Friday, mmm, what do you think about the weather?
