Yea the day has arrived. Yesterday we got the final from the county on the Gazebo. We can now proceed with the electrical and the building of the doors and the finishing of the room where the TV will be housed. Friday nights sheriff was Gail. She was not present so if she had won she would of lost 20% of the pot. the envelope she picked held the 4 of Hearts, no money but she did get $20.00 worth of tickets for next week. The reward will be $2,000.oo and Jokers now worth $100.00. The music after the Queen was provided by "The McGuffe Rd Band" not the" Prunedale Outlaws" that I had listed. We have no music on tap this weekend. We do have the Parking lot sale set for Saturday, weather permitting. Friday nights dinner will be Victor's famous 1/2 lb. bacon cheeseburgers. If you haven't had a chance to see the new Gazebo come on down and check it out.

Got my debit cards from Home Depot today for a great sum of $2,800.00. Finished up the roof yesterday 70 panels and a total of 1600 hundred screws. We will be getting the gutters up on Friday for a cost of $650.00. Should be able to call for a final the first of next week.
The Queen draw for Friday was real slow so the reward remains at $1,800.00. Mambo Wally did a great job entertaining the troops after the Queen. The Valentines party with "Triple Creek" was a great success, everyone had a good time. This week Marty and the "Prunedale Outlaws" will be playing after the Queen. If you want to spend your Sunday afternoon listening to some good music come on down and experience "Uncle Dan and his Jam. Below are some pictures of the Gazebo with its new roof

Well a lot has happened this week. We got a notice from Union Bank that effective the end of the month they will be closing all of the Post's Bank accounts. I think that it is the most degrading thing I have ever heard of. Supposedly Homeland Security is enforcing the Patriot Act. because our deposits are mostly cash. I think it is the most disrespectful act, by a business, that I ever have seen. If you are Vet and have a account with Union Bank I would hope you would express your concern. It looks like we will be moving our business to Wells Fargo. I do have some good news, Home Depot approved our grant for $2800.00 and should be funded in a week or two. Fridays Sheriff was Konnie Dearmond ,not her first time in the saddle but still not a winner. This weeks reward will be $1,800.00. The "new Prunedale Outlaws" had some great guitar players after the Queen. The Jam, that the Post is hosting every other Sunday, is beginning to rival the jam's that use to be held at the old 589 on Market

Well here we go for two successful weeks in a row ,maybe. Joyce and I had a pretty busy week. We did all of the shopping for the fund raiser on Tuesday 50 lbs of Hamburger, 12 I gallons of pasta sauce, 21 lbs. chopped onions 60 lbs of cheese ,35 boxes of no bake lasagna noodles. Lots of garlic and spice's. Thursday we started the prep of the sauce, it took all day. At 5'oclock the ladies started the layering of the noodles ,cheese and the sauce. We got 12 pans in the oven and baked, finished the rest Friday night after the Queen, The fund raiser on Saturday went off without a hitch. We feed 300+ and could have served a few more if we had it. There were Bo-Co of things for the raffle as well as the silent auction. The 50/50 winner scored $385.00. Peter Parker won the Horseshoe Tournament. Ellen and I worked our butts off in the canteen. All in all it was a great day and wish Faria the best of luck. The Sheriff Friday night located a gift card but not the Queen this weeks reward will be $1,700.00. We had a good turn out for the Super Bowl game on Sunday, what a finish. Dale Earnhardt once said "Great Game but only 3 weeks to Daytona". I have sold out the $20.00 buyin. Friday night after the Queen Marty and the" Prunedale Outlaws" will be playing also on Sunday we will be having the Jam Session from 2 to 6. This is the second try dropped half the first go-around
