Beat

The game last night was everything that was expected. There were 10,545 fans and it seemed like we were the only concession stand open for the game. The gates opened early at 4 PM for the 6:05 PM game, and we had everything running smoothly until about 5 PM. From that point until the end of the 7th inning at around 9 PM, we ran like no other game since we started doing them last year. The game was a tie - 4-4. Our total business amounted to over $16K and we were off once again in balancing for the night. I didn't get out of the park until almost 10:30 and it was near 11:30 by the time we stopped for gas and arrived home. We are both beat.

Worse than being so tired this morning, we have to go and do it all again in about an hour from now. Having a night game isn't so bad until you have to turn around and go in early the following day. It would be a blessing if our schedule of games ended this morning, but it doesn't. We are past the halfway point, and we have probably worked our busiest game. It just couldn't get any busier than last night - can it?

The Bill Luke Bass Days begins today and the resort looks like it's ready for the activities. I haven't gotten any pictures of the final setup yet, but let me just say it looks like a county fair is about to begin. The fishermen are out this morning and there are hourly weigh-ins for the fishing contest with a $10,000 first prize for the winner at the end of the weekend. Not a bad prize for fishing on the lake.

Today is a game between the KC Royals and the Oakland A's. Please be a normal crowd and a fast game...
