What happens
Chester A. Riley and his friend Gillis, both worn down by family life, decide to take a week's vacation away from home at a lake cabin. The two men start out cheerful, but their homesickness and bickering soon set in, and Riley eventually considers returning to his household. The episode is from the radio series The Life of Riley, first broadcast on June 28, 1947, on the Blue Network and NBC, with William Bendix as Riley and Paula Winslowe as Peg. Hans Conried and Alan Reed also appear in the cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
