Larry's Update

Trying to get back on my weekly schedule of posting my blog the first part of the week. Being that Monday was a holiday, I didn't get to make any of our orders.  Wednesday was our regularly scheduled Karaoke night.  Again, not much of a turnout. Thursday Victor fixed a great lunch.  I want to thank him for his dedication to the Post.  We had another great turn out for Wham-Bam Bingo. Dave Dolan made the day with his donations of 4 Blue Chips, 2 Red Chips and $20.00 worth of Queen of Hearts tickets. By the way, the Queen will be worth $4,000.00 Friday the 31st.  Neil was the Sheriff for the hunt for the Queen on the 24th.  His guess revealed the 4 of Spades, no money, but he did get $20.00 worth of tickets for this next weeks draw.  Saturday's Birthday Bash was a "Bust" if we don't start getting a better turnout we may just discontinue them.  Sunday's AUX breakfast was great thanks to Karen, Joyce, Randi and the rest of the girls. Monday was a big day.  Bob & Detter started taking down the old retaining wall.  The boards were a snap but the poles were a different story.  Some of the poles were down at least 4 feet. Thank God for Bob's tractor.  Once the boards and poles were cleaned up Charlie brought in his truck and they started removing the bank back so that the footings could be dug.  A very productive day.  Tuesday they finished  removing the dirt and hauled all of the scrap to the dump.  Later, "Chris" the contractor, came in and made some cuts in the existing concrete to make room for the footings on the south end of the project.
Ken also had a meeting with Chris on the placement of the footings.  Hope to get started the first of next week.  SAL will be fixing their great Hamburgers for Friday nights dinner.  Hope to see you there.
