Awake: 5:47am Temp 68 sleep 5+44 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
I drop Kathy off @ the KK meeting & then continue to the Cambria Hills Golf Course to join our Rotary members in making our Golf Classic a thundering success without rain.
My job: I am the Ice Man; keeping (2) kegs of beer cold; (2) tubs of soda & bottled water cold & whatever else comes up where I can offer some assistance. Today’s high temp=low 90’s. Total large bags of ice used: (8); my helpers: Ryan, who recently was awarded a scholarship from Rotary; & Eric, a sophomore; son of Rotary member Anne Marie. They were both ready & willing to help & they were great.
With teams of (4)… & (15) teams, the food & drink area was most popular, so we were busy keeping our cool stuff….cool. Without going into a lot of detail, I’m pretty sure our tournament was a success & we’ll find out next week for sure. Around 4:00 pm, I used the last bag of ice; the beer keg was still very popular & the cook ran out of hamburgers; however, still lots of “HOT” Italian sausages, kielbasas with sauerkraut plus beans, veggies & buns remain. Since my Ice Man position was melting down, I asked my (2) bosses, Chuck & Donna, if I could be excused for the rest of the day. They gave thanks for a job well done, which I credited my helpers for & I returned to our cool bus.
Since school is now out for the summer, Kathy got to use the community center workout room following the KK meeting. She also got some computer time in today and gathered wild strawberries from our field; the first of many such gatherings that will occur this season.
With popcorn, we finish the movie: “King Rat” with George Segal, Tom Courtenay, James Fox, Patrick O’Neal, etc. James Clavell novel of WWII Japanese POW camp, focusing on effect of captivity on Allied prisoners. Thoughtful presentation rises above clichés; many exciting scenes. 1965.
Lights out: 11:24pm
