Ahoy all y'all Krakeneers, Capn' Dad is on board to report at long last. Jody and I are doing fine, though we are tasked heavily. We appreciate y'all's concern most sincerely.
Please understand that we have literally hundreds of folks patiently waiting for calls and messages, so you are not the only one. Hopefully this state of the roadhouse series of posts will satisfy most of the relevant queries. In due time, I look forward to speak/message directly with each and everyone.
Again, thank you for all your patience, and since there's so much to report, expect posts over the next few days. đŸ˜‰
Capn' Kirk

Part I: "No... Thank YOU!"
My friends, before any updates, I must personally apologize for keeping you from the greatest roadhouse in the country. I feel as if I've scored several own goals against the team.
Uncertainty is never what one looks for at their place of refuge, at their community gathering spot, their drinking hole, dance floor and all that. I know how wonderfully dedicated y'all are to The Kraken and I know it in the deepest depths of my soul.
Y'all have helped keep this historic roadhouse going, many folks selflessly contributing for years and for that we are all most blessed.
Nobody though has done more than James and Meredith who cannot receive enough praise for carrying the bar on their backs this year during our months spent in hospitals and rehab after Jody's excruciatingly painful fall.
Many, and many more of you folks have graciously, personally and often repeatedly offered to help. There are several ways to help, and if you are able, please consider a Venmo donation to show your gratitude to our superstar bartenders.
