Yes, the Germans have arrived. Two girls from Ulm, that our Junior Couch Monkey visit with last spring, are here to experience......rain and lots of it. Actually, there has been only a couple of really bad rain days but the weather is supposed to be improving. They are nice, polite, respectful and their diet appears to consist almost entirely of bread, some veggies and almost nothing of meat. Other than that they are great kids. Unfortunately our Second Loin Fruit has been so busy catching up with all of his homework that he hasn't had much time to hang out with them. They will only be here for another week before heading back to the Fatherland.
The work on the Mobile Wayward Inn is progressing with the floor trim. One piece...at...a...time! But, is starting to look pretty nice. Photos of the process can be seen on "Blaine's Place" Facebook page. Broke another bandsaw blade but I have some on order. I have order them as it requires an 80 inch blade and I have not found anyone in town that carries them.
Chef Irene and Sous Blaine played host to eleven people on Sunday. To seat everyone furniture was moved, tables were brought in and seating was scavenged from throughout the Wayward Inn. Ham, pumpkin gnocchi, salad, glazed carrots and happy tomatoes. There were several kinds of libations as well. By all accounts the guests had a great feast.
Last night I was out on several errands and I passed by a road sign stating there was a change in the traffic pattern. Yes, the new bridge is finally open. It's about bloody time! The bad thing is I saw the sign at night and driving across it would have brought no joy. I'll have to wait until I'm out on patrol to experience it.
The Jr. Couch Monkey and the two frauleins have gone to the far left side of The Rock for an overnight school trip. I sincerely hope that the weather is great for them. There is nothing worse than travelling a great distance to witness nature in all its glory only to have it be shitty out.
