You can only see a portion of the tail behind the truck on the left side of the building...but it is there.

The outside of the building does not show much activity; but, the windows are covered so it is difficult to tell what the ETA will be. There is a sign on the car dealership down the street indicating that Pepper is hiring...so, I am sure that it will be soon.

Pepper - you will need to get rid of all the cars behind the building...they are UGGLY

At the Grand Opening, Pepper and Waldo give each customer a "WP PUNCH" card. With each World-Renowned Lobster Roll purchased...the happy diner gets a punch (on the card). When 10 punches are completed...the now Very Happy diner gets to walk out back and choose a car...which MAYBE will start, and drive home. (Some of those cars look like they have $1.25 /gallon gas left in the tank)...Eventually...

Pepper · 06-02-2008, 10:06 PM

OMG you guys have me cracking up!

The cars have been slowly leaving, a few at a time. The remainder of them should be off the lot by the end of the week. Hallelujia!

We've been making a ton of progress inside and out. New well has been drilled. Fire alarm system is almost finished. Electrical is underway, plumbing is underway, fire supression is underway. Walls are finished, kitchen equipment all steam-cleaned and waiting to be placed. Tile in restrooms starts tomorrow, along with several other projects. Dining room is almost finished, and interviewing process is underway. Landscaping has begun, sign is now in place, menu is almost finished.

The plane will be be undergoing some intense refurbishment, so it will be a little while before she's flying.

Wait till you see where she lands!!!

Meanwhile, we're almost ready to welcome everyone! I'll let you know soon!!!!!

Oh darn ... I was going to buy 10 at one time, get the card punched, then drive them home in my "new" car.

Clearly you have not seen these cars. You would be TOWING IT HOME.

I think that the gas in the tanks is probably the most valuable part.

I think you're right!

The best part about them is - they're almost all gone!
