Wow. What happened to the last 4 or 5 days? Time goes by at least twice as fast here. I thought today was seriously Friday and its Sunday. In the past few days I have been to West Yellowstone with Johnny to watch Game 1 of the NBA finals, found out I am going to be a server at the restaurant, worked a bit, ran, and watched it absolutely pour down rain for almost 5 days straight. The one day it wasn’t pouring I went out for a run and it started sleeting (sleet sleet) almost right away. It has rained so much that there was a mudslide somewhere in the park. That somewhere happened to be where the service tower is located. No internet, no cell phones, no landlines. Dear engineers who put that tower there…. Stop drinking on the job….. It was fixed the same night, but people were freaking out for a few hours.

 

I did have another great, “that’s what she said” moment that I had to pass on…. I was running food the other night for all the servers. I delivered a chimichanga to a table of six along with the rest of their food. I remember only the chimichanga bc of the comment. I presented said chimi to a lady. The gentleman next to her said, “That would be perfect for me, but the meat would fill me up.” I think I even made the jaw dropping ‘holy shit’ face at him. Jokes on him, the chimi is a vegetarian dish. Zing.

 

Last night I met a family from Town & Country MO. They came into the restaurant while I was working. 3 kids. Hilarious. The whole family was great. They were there later in the evening as it was slowing down so I got to talk to them for a while. They filled me in on the latest Cards shtuff. They were so pumped that they got to see a bear and 4 cubs. I would be too. A grand total of 7 bears in 1 day they came across. W T F ? I have seen 1 bear this whole time and Im not sure I should even count it, it was so far away. At this point I would settle for a guy in a bearsuit (beeeeeeeeaaaarsuit) walking around smoking a cig. I am gonna bathe in honey, carry a summer sausage in each hand wearing a T shirt that says “edible” and just start marching north.

 

C Walker update: He pooped his pants while working in the kitchen at OFI, so he requested, and was granted, a transfer to the Canyon location, I assume playing the embarrassment card. I don’t know the full story, but Johnny works in the kitchen, so Im sure the full scoop will get to me eventually. Im actually gonna miss him. He was quite entertaining, especially when he met new people. Entertaining in an uncomfortable, Borat interview, sort of way. I really liked to watch how people reacted to him. For all who know him, this guy is a Tom Pfhuel type. That caliber. If you don’t know Tom Pfhuel, you should be sorry. He would go to parties chewing a toothbrush. He would poop in his own hand to throw it at someone else. True story. Quite a human. As is C Walker, not as nasty as Tom P. but definitely as outrageous.
