    Today the morning starts of wonderful blue skies and pretty warm no complaints here at all. Got my computing and coffees done and headed down to the clubhouse.at 7:15. I was asked if I would like to volunteer help cook for the free pancake breakfast here in the park.
     No problem if they need help I can do it. After 10 years in my restaurant and know a grill pretty good. Mike was there getting things ready mixing up the batter they just needed someone to cook the pancakes. So when the time came just before 8:30 I began. 8 pancakes at a time, these are cooked to order. I was flipping them for the next 2 hours, 2 per plate and just over 190 plates. some people want some extras so I figured I made about 400 pancakes in 2 hours. Kept me hopping and brings back memories of my restaurant days back in the 90's. 10 years I had fun there.

     Every thing went smooth and all were are fed, no complaints. For a free breakfast, but people came back for seconds and thirds.
     Breaky done and actually had a small pancake myself when done. Home by 11 am  Suzie had the laundry sorted and over the the laundromat in town, Let the machines do their magic and I can enjoy my e-reader in the car. Back home 1 pm, dumped and flushed our sewage , filled our fresh water so we good to go in the morning, Defrosted our fridge, had a nice hot shower, Now to relax a bit. Friends down the road had a nice campfire going so we joined them for 'Happy Hour" Nice to enjoy the sunshine and a warm campfire after all the rain we have had.
      Wonderful to spend some time with these guys with pretty decent afternoon weather.

  4. Nice to see you using those flipping skills you mastered in your restaurant. Must have felt strange to use a grill different from your Weber... :cD

    1. Always loved the flat top large grill, so much you can do with it. Not convenient with the motorhome , but the Weber works awesome for what we cook camping.
