Now, largely over the summit of the longest weekend of the year.
And there's no overstating the "Long Weekend" bit. Busy, crazy, walk-in tables of 10, 14 and even 30. Why would you need a reservation for 30 people? That's just crazy. No place else on the lake would have 'em is why, but we have boundary issues. Late tables, coming in at 9:00, Ten, twenty minutes after nine, we're still taking 'em, there until 11:00 at night, later than town, every server's nightmare.
Just hold your breath and get through it.
On a more positive note, Friday, yard sale in Balfour, sent staff to do my treasure hunting, came away with:
Which is a masterpiece of sorts. It needs a new lining and fixture for the clasp, but - on it's own, as is, it's a masterpiece. I'm going to make it my "Murse".
The weather - hot, humid, smoky, with a high chance of Covid. We've taken up the masks again. Except for the owner's son, who's "conscientiously objecting" by not wearing one. Other than the owners I'm the only member of staff to have gotten a vaccination.
There was the promise of rain - but, less rain than a general dampening of the roads, a humid nudging of the pavement. No rain to speak of.
And - rumor has it that the infections have come closer to home - another local pub has closed due to it. Funny, they never closed for TB or the hundreds of STD's that pass through it on a nightly basis, but they closed for the COVID.
For the moment that's it. Just survive today and tomorrow will be a day off.
