<\/a>Tucky carved Paul his own ice cube<\/p><\/div>\n
Tucky knows Paul likes special drinks but also likes to order two different drinks\u00a0 so\u00a0 he adjusts the content so there is smaller amounts of alcohol as we want to drive safely.\u00a0 We pay for his performance and don’t mind a smaller drink!<\/p>\n
<\/a>He rubbed the rim of the glass with orange citrus oil and he set it on fire. (Note the lighter in his hand)<\/p><\/div>\n
The drink was a form of a Manhattan with Tucky twists.\u00a0\u00a0 The drink was aromatic and with the large ice cube, it took Paul 40 minutes to finish it!. Rule #1 – You can’t get another drink until the first glass is empty!<\/p>\n
We ordered a couple of appetizers before heading north to the Fullerton Elks for a dinner dance with the gang!<\/p>\n
At the Elks, the bar\/dining area was fairly full and Gene Duval was already set up and going.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Our contingent made up about half of the attendees<\/p><\/div>\n
Our gang had a long table but the only chairs available to us were against the wall requiring a lot of squirming to get in and out.\u00a0 We opted for a table for six where Marianne and Craig plus Donna and Bob Z joined us.<\/p>\n
The meals were great and inexpensive!\u00a0 After the appetizers, Paul had a bowl of soup and shared some french fries with Sue<\/p>\n
<\/a>We sat with two other couples at a separate table<\/p><\/div>\n
The sound treatment made the room significantly quieter than most Elks venues.\u00a0 The band played loud but the sound that would have bounced against the ceiling and walls was attenuated by the sound panels.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The sound management techniques were outstanding in the room<\/p><\/div>\n
We visited the purple pig on the way home.\u00a0 Elks drop their loose change into the purple pig and it is used for children’s charities and medical advancements.\u00a0 If every Elk dropped a dine a day into the pig, we would have $3.5 million a year.\u00a0 We feed the pig on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Leon pets the “Purple Pig” and gives him loose change<\/p><\/div>\n
OK, it is now 10:30 and time to head for home!\u00a0 Captain Janeway may be on her own tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Paul worked around the house for about five hours doing little clean-ups, fixing things, washing the Avalon, etc.\u00a0 The “to do list” is now back under control!\u00a0 We worked on the Topper’s Newsletter so we can mail it out Monday. … Continue reading
