Hi George, how are you?

00:01:15.417 --> 00:01:16.000
- Good morning.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.709
- Oh, you come for coffee
and you didn\'t get any.

00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:21.083

Dad did a lot more years ago,

Well, it\'s a wing night, so I\'m
hoping we have a

really good turnout.

00:03:12.542 --> 00:03:16.750
We do a buffet style with five
different kinds of salads and

00:03:16.750 --> 00:03:19.709
desserts, and four different
flavours of wings,

00:03:19.709 --> 00:03:22.500
dried ribs and fries.

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.542
So, I hope, I hope
it\'s a good show.

00:03:25.542 --> 00:03:26.875
Wonderful.

00:03:26.875 --> 00:03:29.083
Which end, and the desserts
go at the other end?

00:03:29.083 --> 00:03:30.917
We\'ll put the steam table here

00:03:30.917 --> 00:03:33.083
and the desserts will
go right here.

00:03:33.083 --> 00:03:35.083
These aren\'t gonna fly
very good on the run,

Could you get an order ready
for me today for some booze or?

00:03:56.583 --> 00:04:00.583
I\'ll have three
rye, three vodka,

00:04:00.583 --> 00:04:05.542
and then a couple of cherry
whiskey if you have them,

00:04:05.542 --> 00:04:07.291
hopefully.

00:04:07.291 --> 00:04:10.083
Yeah.

00:04:10.083 --> 00:04:12.375
Oh, well, put them
both in the fridge.

the amount of hours it takes,

00:04:16.542 --> 00:04:23.375

away, here\'s the keys,

00:04:32.875 --> 00:04:34.875
you want to throw them in
the air and say

00:04:34.875 --> 00:04:36.542
sorry for your luck, buddy, but.

00:04:36.542 --> 00:04:39.667
If we could sell it and, and
walk with some dinero

in your pocket,
that\'s one thing,

but to just, to walk
away from it,

00:04:45.709 --> 00:04:50.208
I don\'t want it to go to
somebody is gonna turn this into

00:04:50.208 --> 00:04:52.375
an art gallery, or
something like that.

Don\'t trip.

00:05:10.458 --> 00:05:12.750
I\'m just gonna get organized,
so I can start dipping wings,

00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:20.792
and then, ouch, ouch, ouch,
and then we are ready, Freddy.

00:05:24.083 --> 00:05:26.709
And we really don\'t
need the strainers, huh,

00:05:26.709 --> 00:05:28.792
you can just use.

00:05:28.792 --> 00:05:31.041
Well, yeah, well.

00:05:31.041 --> 00:05:32.500
\'Cause they\'re pretty dripped.

00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:33.125
Yeah, okay.

00:05:33.125 --> 00:05:34.959
We don\'t really need strainers,
otherwise if it does drip,

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.083
they\'ll drip on
the floor, right.

00:05:37.083 --> 00:05:39.875
Yeah.

00:05:42.875 --> 00:05:46.333
(sizzling)

00:05:46.625 --> 00:05:48.333
As a rule, we\'re
usually busy on a wing night,

00:05:48.333 --> 00:05:52.291
but I might have picked the
wrong time because it\'s cattle,

00:05:52.291 --> 00:05:57.792
everybody\'s shipping their
cattle, so it is what it is.

00:06:06.041 --> 00:06:10.709
I\'ve been scared to do it
without having ample staff

00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:16.250
because I, I don\'t
want it to flop.

00:06:20.208 --> 00:06:25.166
It sounds like there\'s
some customers out there.

00:06:26.667 --> 00:06:30.375
Now, we\'ll see what happens.

people come together.

Like, look it\'s Friday night,
do you, do you know

00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:53.208
there\'s this many vehicles
in town all week?

00:06:53.208 --> 00:06:55.709
Absolutely not, because it\'s
Friday night and she\'s putting

00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:59.834
something on and people
are supporting it, so.

00:07:00.583 --> 00:07:01.375
- We just love it.

You know, it\'s a lot
of fun, and, you know,

00:07:03.083 --> 00:07:06.667
there\'s always good food, and
the beer\'s always cold, and,

00:07:06.667 --> 00:07:10.917
and we\'ve met a lot of
wonderful people here.

00:07:10.917 --> 00:07:13.542
- There\'s been all kinds of
things happening, you know,

00:07:13.542 --> 00:07:18.125
in the 70-year span
that I can remember.

00:07:18.125 --> 00:07:22.375
There was even a local man rode
his horse into the bar one day.

- So, this is important
to our community.

We don\'t want to
see it shutdown,

00:07:32.417 --> 00:07:35.250
but I know she needs help and
I know she needs to do some

00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:38.917
renovations and things
like that, but it\'s,

00:07:38.917 --> 00:07:42.750

and raised here,

so I\'ve been in this place
since I was 18 years old.

00:07:58.375 --> 00:08:00.333
So, it\'s a big part of my life.

00:08:00.333 --> 00:08:02.750
I\'m 60 years old, so that\'s been
a lot of years

00:08:06.125 --> 00:08:08.375
Yeah, and it holds a
lot of special memories.

we didn\'t have this hotel.
