Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
2007-01-26

It's 4 degrees out and the wind chill is -12. It's supposed to get worse before it gets better. Where the hell is global warming when you need it? We may set a record for the lowest high temp of the day if that makes sense. it's not supposed to get above 12 and the winds are going to pick up to 20+ knots. Frostbite will occur in exposed flesh within 30 minutes. No, I will not be walking at lunch. I'm thinking a hot coffee in a warm car, parked by the overlook looking down on the port. That works...
We went to one of the local chain restaurants, you know the Neighborhoodbarandgrill one. We had gift cards. How bad could it be? Well actually, not so good. It was crowded and it took a while for us to get a set. I'm down with that. Our waitress wasn't good. Ok everybody has a bad day. No smile, no offers on refills for the drinks, no asking how we are, and the biggest one, not checking on the food.
It was well over an hour before it finally came and when it did, it was ice cold. Now if one is hot and one cold, that's a kitchen issue. When you wait that long and both dishes are cold, that's the server. I've worked in enough kitchens to know that.
I sent mine back. M.E. ate hers cold. She did send the manager over who comped the whole meal with a million appologies. So now we still have gift cards and have to go back. Oh BTW, th esecond time around the food was fine although I would have eaten cardboard at that point.
No big plans for the weekend. I'm going to work on the new floorboards for the boat I think. Two sheets of plywood, teak and holly veneer were, gulp $550. This will be measure ten times before cutting once. Blah...
Besides that, nothing major is going on. Happy Friday all!
Later
