Bill sends:
Additional duties for the Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast cook. . .
Got up at 5:30 this morning to cook a go-away breakfast for a guest who wanted to drive out on the Zumwalt Prairie in the early morning while the roads were still frozen. And she's leaving today to go home.
As I was finishing up my chores in the kitchen, the guest came back in lamenting she had a flat tire on her rig. She scrounged up a different ride, and I proceeded to change from apron to mechanics jacket aka "Superman outfit."
It was definitely flat. She had all the necessary items to change the tire--a good spare and jack. It only took a few minutes, not even requiring one swear word. I loaded up the flat tire in her truck and headed for Les Schwab Tires in Enterprise, a 6-mile drive from our Joseph Oregon lodging.
The kinds folks at Les Schwab Tires were very helpful and had the tire fixed and remounted within 30 minutes (hardly enough time to eat a bag of popcorn from the lobby popcorn machine).
When I returned to the Bronze Antler I removed my mechanics coat, washed my hands again, and returned to my mild-mannered Bill Finney self.
This is one of the differences between a bed and breakfast and a hotel--our guests are like family to us. Maybe a distant cousin on an Eastern Oregon vacation--but family nonetheless. We believe in superior service!
And the guest? She's convinced I'm Superman!
