Billy's Journal

Tomorrow, Monday, May 24, 2021, we have been given the green light to go to 100% dining both inside and out at both restaurants. Tables can be moved back closer together. Contact tracing lists will be a thing of the past. Masks outside will disappear. There will also be no restriction on individuals at a table.


Our rendition of the new regulations and protocols will be a little bit different. We won’t require masks being worn on the property before you enter either restaurant. But we will require patrons to wear a mask while inside before you get to your table. Once at the table, you will be free to take your mask off. The outside dining will not require masks. Our employees will be required to wear a mask. This may all change with time. But, for right now, this is how we are going to handle the wearing of masks.


Tomorrow morning, a few of us are going to get all the tables for outside dining out of storage and place them where they were, as they were, two years ago. This includes the Barnacle Billy’s (Original) patio, deck and upper deck. This also includes the Barnacle Billy’s, Etc. garden patio. We will also be bringing some of the tables to place in the dining room at Barnacle Billy’s (Original). We aren’t going to bring all the tables. But we are going to fill in tables where we can.


At Barnacle Billy’s (Original) we are going to leave the partition (with the glass) in the lobby. We are going to leave the partition in the dining room. And we are going to leave the cashier table in the corner of the dining room with the menu on the wall behind the cashier as it is right now. In case Governor Mills changes her mind, I want to be ready to go backwards if we have to without building new structures all over again.


Bottom line is that I want everyone to be comfortable. Food and location can be wonderful. But all that goes out the window if you aren’t comfortable. As usual, I will be going around to the different tables for feedback. It’s very important to me that you like what we do.


At some point we will go back to normal. We will be taking baby steps until that time.

A simple yet engaging https://alphadentalexcellence.com/ post that keeps readers interested from start to finish. The tone feels very natural. I came across a similarly conversational style on an alphadentalexcellence review blog, and it’s always refreshing to read content like this.

Loved your blog about life on the farm! The storytelling was vivid and enjoyable. I recently read a jimandsonsplumbing https://www.jimandsonsplumbing.com/ related post, and it offered some interesting reflections on dedication and hard work, which connected well to your article.

This is a fun and detailed blog post, with lots of personality in the writing. I came across it while taking a break from studying for my bksb, and it helped me clear my head before returning to practice questions. Do others use light blog posts like this to refresh before getting back into study mode?

Great read with a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy between tasks. I was browsing this during a short break from my bksb prep, and it surprisingly helped me refocus when I returned to studying. Reading creative or friendly content like this really helps keep motivation up during long study sessions.
