I had a five minute wait yesterday for my bus out there in the warm Sun

as the snow was melting and being burned off. I got my 6/49 ticket at the Clareview Redi mart and read a bit on my way in. I snapped a couple of photos I'm trying to get the server to accept but I managed to get one of George and I having a drink:

Lodge was interesting and I learned a few things as well. The festive board was in the lounge, which is always nice. They had a new beer I've never tried before Innes-Gun something. It looks like a wheat colored beer at 6.6 %. A very nice honey beer but at $6.50 a bottle it's not cheap. As an added bonus I not only got to have my meal free but also, they had a bourbon tasting and a raffle as well but you had to buy a ticket with the meal to win. The lodge master gave an interesting talk about bourbon's as well. I think it was a bottle of scotch. I had a taste of Booker's, smooth. I got a ride home from one of the other guys there, which was nice as I got in about 5:30. If it wasn't for the ride home, I would have stopped off at Century Casino to play a $20 and ride on that for a few hours.

I did some lodge email business when I got home and relaxed and watched some CBJ/Pens playoff hockey and passed out on the couch.

I got to get another job, something I can do 8-4:30 ish and have my evenings off for lodge or whatever. Hopefully something will present itself in the next few weeks.

Finally, I was going through a site about NW bands that played in the lower mainland of the past and checked out the dance hall tab. The last name was called The Zodiac and it was in the Tower's Hotel on 6th and Royal. I don't know if it's called The Tower's now or even if there's a lounge in there now. I didn't know the name of the pub then and now. It was only just this weekend I could put a name to this place. I remember a friend of mine and I went in for a drink and this was the first time I got asked for ID. I was a young looking 22 year old at the time. I was scrolling down the list of dance halls when the last name "The Zodiac," The Towers. Then the memory hit me like an epiphany. Anyway, that's all for now.
