Maybe 8 tables, I was the only one there.
A woman comes over with her pad and says something in Spanish.
I look/stare at her trying to translate.
She smiles and says "Poquito Espanol?"
"Si, poquito"
And I proceed to order some huevos con chorizo y agua no hielo por favor. Maiz tortillas.
Pretty soon it arrives and she starts giving me the corn tortillas. Fresh made. She's making them for me a few feet away. A bottomless plate of them it seems for as soon as I finish with the few she trots over some more. Big smile on her face.
Eventually I say "No mas."
I'm down early in the morning in the farming town of Greenfield picking up some timber that's been ripped out of a building that a winery purchased. Jeff, the top guy at the winery, called me up wondering if I wanted to repurpose the timbers into a 16' outdoor table for their tasting room grounds.
They were long, they were heavy.
Agapito, the vineyard manager, sees me from far off and comes over to say hi. I start to tie the lumber down and he takes over. Says "I just love tying down loads."
Will post up pics as the table comes together.
