I cannot believe how fast they are putting up our new building. We burned on May 10th and it looks like we may have possession of the building by August 20th! Amazing! That means several weeks of training and then a nice quiet "soft opening"...We will have a few weeks to train and work some bugs out.

Like the title says sometimes shit just happens. If anyone read last Friday's Modesto Bee, local section, you will find that 5 weeks away from our opening, Canal Street Grille suffered a minor setback... fire. But that's cool. This gives us a chance to hire the best and to perfect the menu. We are doing steaks, chops, ribs and seafood. It is going to be so awesome!

Getting away from work doing Art, and profile for Modesto Blues Festival, http://www.myspace.com/modesto_blues_fest a friend and I went camping for the night, get out of Modesto with a non freeway drive out of town, over into San Joaquin County, and got a short report on 2 camping spots.
