I had mentioned before about tonight being the Riders Monthly Dinner, and this Ghost Hunt/Show they are doing at like 10pm. I thought maybe we would pick up additional meal sales, as people come early (they had to purchase within a limited number of tickets) as they get off work, and haven't eaten dinner yet... sounds about right? Well, we only sold 16 meals tonight. The gal that was making the garlic bread and possibly bringing a "cheap dessert" (like cupcakes from the store) totally zoned about tonight, so no garlic bread to go with the spaghetti. The Director made (or rather bought then cooked) plain meatballs at home and brought them in, and we used a big ol' bottle of Ragu for sauce. Threw some noodles in the pot, and were off! I personally had picked up 4 bags of salad. Last month, we did about 20 sales, and went through 2 bags, so I figured if we popped out a 35+ number of sales like most months (pre-holiday period) there wouldn't be much spaghetti or salad left over to worry about. No. Instead I have 3 unopened bags. I know I can only get through one bag, before the others start turning to mush and brown stuff, so I ended up giving one to the bartender, and one to my friend's daughter. At least they will eat it.
So the meal came and went. RM and PT came up, as usual (which is nice). Another couple had sat at our table as well, so we didn't talk as much personally as we might normally, but we still caught up. PT's mental facilities are definitely wearing down. I felt he kept asking me questions that he should already know the answer to, or know at least I don't have the answer. Maybe it was just my observation, as I admit, I always get 'testy' when PT comes around. Irritation doesn't begin to hardly describe it. Oh well.
Tomorrow I am going on the Frozen Throttles Run our Riders are putting on with ABATE of AZ. Charity ride to Prescott to Full Stop Motorsports (a motorcycle custom/tire shop) grand opening (friend of one of our riders). Followed with short trip to the Bucky O'Neill VFW 541 in Prescott. Then back to the main highway to head north to Camp Verde to VFW Post 6739. Heard this place is just full of awesome people, and the views, as they sit on top of a hill, look over Camp Verde's valley city area. Two more I can add to my list of visited. Another one of our 'Support' Riders is riding along with me. Have the car pretty much packed up: case of bottled water, trauma kit, 2 boxes of Tees (for the 2 styles we have for sale), my notebook (with all the addresses in case I get lost/lose the group) and a day out of the Valley. Was thinking about stopping in Black Canyon City at Cafe there. It is "world-famous" for their pies. Thought I might stop and get one to bring home, but then I saw the prices online.... almost $30 for a pie. Yeah, they ain't that special to me.
With all that going on, I am sure Sunday will be me resting up, as I have another paracentesis on Monday.
Oh the Joy....
