We are on for Happy Hour Friday July 27!

The weather should be fine for a 5:00 start.  

I'm guessing the water temp will be low 80's.

The Picadilla has been resting in the kettle overnight.  We'll cook up some rice and beans to go with it.

Rumors of City BBQ persist.  

We hope to see you poolside!

Looks like Friday July 27 might be good for Happy Hour!

If the weather holds we should be ON!

Check back if in doubt.

We may have a little City BBQ and I'm thinking of cooking up some of my Key West favorite.  Here is the recipe from Richard direct from Key West!

No Happy Hour Friday July 20 but hoping for July 27

Aaron Madinger lost his life Sunday July 15 in a tragic traffic accident.  There will be a celebration of his life and memorial gathering this coming Sunday July 22 at the Trout Club. The gathering starts in the upstairs TC lounge 1:00 until 5:00

Aaron always greeted you with a smile on his face and in his heart.  Most sincere condolences to his family.

WOW!  What a great celebration!  So many wonderful folks gathered to remember, laugh, and toast a great friend.

Aaron is missed. 

Happy Hour confirmed for July 8, 2018 at 2:00

...and here are a few pictures of the fun.

Sunday is forecast for 83 and sunny.  

How about an afternoon Happy Hour starting at 2:00?

Check back to confirm later this week but it
sound pretty good from right now.

FYI, We purchase a lottery ticket or two for Happy Hour.  If we hit for a sizable amount, every welcome guest* shares equally in the prize.  If we win a small amount, say less than $10 per person, we reinvest is the lottery for the next Happy Hour crew.

*Beth and Kim determine a "welcome guest".  It's not the pizza guy or some neighbor that walked through the yard.  You have to be 18 year of age or over.  You have to be here for the Happy Hour that the ticket was purchased for, not the next Happy Hour.  
You have to be considered a friend of Beth or Kim.  
We, Beth and Kim are the sole judge in this matter and in all other
Happy Hour lottery winning  matters.

We had great pool weather for Happy Hour 6/29!
