Larry's Update

It looks like I made it thru the week without making anyone mad.

We poured the second part of the foundation on Wednesday using 25 yds. for a total yardage of 46 yds. @ $116.00 per yd. Friday Chris and Victor got the first three courses of the 12 in. block placed as far as where the 8 foot wall starts. Had very bad news on Saturday that Chris was admitted to the emergency ward at the hospital with a life threatening staff infection. He underwent surgery on his leg and is going to be Ok. Will get started back on the wall as soon as possible. Went back to the county building dept. to be told that I have to have a structural engineer look at the plans and the worst case senerio I may have to install fire sprinklers.  So much for the wall.  Ordered the supplies for the upcoming week on Monday and put it away on Tuesday exciting eh!  Wednesday was Karaoke night, what a flop only 5 singers showed up.  If it doesn't get better, will have to discontinue it.  Dave Dolan broke the bank on the sweepstakes machines this week cashing out a cool $705.00.  He shared back by buying the house a drink as well as donating 2 red and 2 blue chips and $20.00 in Queen of Hearts tickets for WHAM-BAM bingo on Thursday.  Speaking of the Queen, on Friday night the envelope selected was #19 and out popped our first gift card of the game.  ,The reward was the camera not the $4,800.00, but better than a poke in the eye.  This Friday nights reward will be $5,100.00.  Joker's are now worth $125.00 and we will be doing a second draw for $100.00.  After the Queen we will be celebrating February birthdays with music provided by "VYBE".  Saturday was nothing to write home about.  Sunday was the return of NASCAR, what a long day.  It was worth the wait for me when my man finally got out of the "finishing second" rut and WON.  Our big winners on the $20.00 dollar board were Furball for $500.00, David Clausen $150.00 for second, $50.00 for third went to Phil, $50.00 to Troy for leading at half way and $50.00 to Mike for finishing 15th.  Warren got the boobe prize of $20.00 for having the first car out of the race.  On the $6.00 board David Clausen scored again with $125.00 and 12 points, Joyce and I came in second for $75.00 and 10 points. Suppose to get some rain this week so do not know the status of the work on the wall.   Will get done when ever?  Woops I forgot the winners on the two $1.00 boards, they were Mickey and Victor.
