Opening Day

Yesterday was opening day at the new and improved Wild Honey Bistro. After shutting down before Labor Day last year, the Wild Honey reopened. Sporting a combination of a makeover and the same ( ever cheerful ) crew, the mood was intoxicating ( at least figuratively ).

I was one of the subs not finishing on time but most everything worked and what didn’t was fixed for the next day. Volume was good especially considering the lack of pre opening media hype. Word is spreading and I expect they’ll have a big Easter weekend.

I will be finishing up with minor carpentry for a few weekends. Sounds like all of my other carpentry jobs. I used to say that I may always be late but at least I’m over budget. More photos soon.

The weather was perfect!

About

So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
