He hadn’t lost his IT skillz in the wilds of Australia

Elph’s been hopping around with the kangaroos and koalas in Australia for almost an entire month. He flew back on Tuesday. We were waiting for him.

Wednesday, March 3rd
9 am We assembled at the Roadhouse.

9:19 am Recruited the Roadhouse staff to help us with our prank.

9:22 am Calling Elph. He doesn’t pick up.
9:56 am Text message from Elph to Brian: “In tomorrow.” Groans all around.
9:58 am Decide to have a working breakfast anyway.

Thursday, March 4th

9:00 am Are we going to try again? Sure.

9:45 am Waiting at the Roadhouse for Elph to pop on Google Chat (sure sign that he’s in)

9:50 am Jennie places the call: “Elph? Help! The basement’s flooded! And the investors are here! What do I do? I don’t want Chef to get mad! Please someone come help!!”

9:50 am Mass text message from Elph

9:59 am We settle in the comfy end booth with some coffee and OJ.

10:00 am We laugh watching Elph run across the parking lot to save the Roadhouse!

10:01 am He rushes down and encounters a dry basement. Jennie saves him and directs him to the fireplace room. Time check: 11 minutes. Not bad, not bad.

10:02 am Welcome back Elph! Hope you had a great trip.
