Rock on!

Drinks at It Doesn’t Matter with Roan, then some takeout Korean-style chicken wings from The Pub; that’s the way I roll on Wednesday evenings. Last night was no exception and Roan was particularly delightful.

Wednesday might just be my favorite day of the week because it also features our walking group hike. Scott wasn’t available, so folks looked to me to come up with a trail. For some reason, I was feeling particularly energetic so I suggested we climb Black Rock Mountain. No one objected but some thought it odd no doubt seeing as how on past hikes to Black Rock I’ve shortcutted to avoid the climb. Actually, I don’t mind the climb up, but the descent down the other side is a little unnerving. Regardless, it had been too long since I’ve enjoyed the unique views Black Rock affords, so off we went.

The actual hike was a bit longer than this indicates–I forgot to turn on my tracker until we were up the highway a piece.

Let the climbing begin!

Popped in to see how the new business is shaping up. Appliances and chairs have arrived and the signage is up.

Opening on Friday.
The offerings.

I went to Sit-n-Bull after the hike and the owner, Ron, joined me at the table for a nice chat. Told him about the new place opening and he agreed these are challenging times in the food and beverage business. He also thought targeting a niche market like the Filipino working folks was a good plan, provided the low price point required wouldn’t undermine the quality of the meals being offered. Yep, that will be a challenge. Not my business though. I’m just the sucker investor financing the start-up.

As far as days go, I had a good one. Now let’s see what I can do with this one!

  1. Menu looks tempting. I looked up “silog” and learned a few things thanks to Wikipedia. I hope your friend’s restaurant turns a profit.

    That looked like a nice hike. Those stairs, though!
