Lemon Grass and Dragon Sauce . . .
This morning I started checking out other gate guard companies to see about getting another gate, hopefully before we have to move over to the Colorado River Thousand Trails this Thursday
I also filled out and printed out our absentee ballot forms so we can send them off tomorrow.
About 2pm Jan and I headed out for lunch and some shopping, with our first stop at Asian BBQ and Grill in Conroe. As seems to happen when we go to our favorite places, we generally get our favorite dishes. And this afternoon was no different.
We started out with a couple of their Shrimp Spring Rolls, with the Spicy Hot Peanut Sauce
They put a big dab of Chili Sauce into the Peanut Sauce and then top it with freshly crushed peanuts. Really Good!
Jan got her Lemon Grass Chicken Bowl with rice noodles, bean sprouts, carrots, and cucumbers,
while I got the Grilled Pork Bowl with a Shrimp Skewer,
which has the same veggies as Jan’s dish.
And of course you can’t eat at Asian BBQ without getting a big bowl of their Dragon Sauce.
While we were there I talked to the owner about doing a website for him. We had talked before we went on the gate, so I wanted to follow up with him again. And this time I mocked up a sample page for him, using some of the photos I’ve take for the blog over past visits.
I think it looks pretty good for about 30 minutes work. I’m going to check back in with him on Wednesday.
He’s interested in me setting up an online takeout ordering system for him. It’s not something I’ve done before, but of course I told him it wouldn’t be a problem. And a little
Next up was a quick stop by Sam’s Club to get a new battery for the truck. The old one is about 5 years old, and it’s starting to fade. I’ll put it in tomorrow and then take the old one back to get my $18 core charge back.
Last, was a groceries stop at the Super Kroger’s over in Willis, as well as a Cinnamon Dolce Latte from their Starbucks for on the way home.
Tomorrow I’ll start actually making calls to gate guard companies, specifically Guard 1 and SiteWatch, both of whom offered us gates after Jamie of Gate Guard Services called us.with our Blue Moon Gate.
Wrapping up, both of my recent repairs seems to be holding. The water pump repair on our Splendide Washer/Dryer combo is still working with no problems, and hopefully will continue that way.
And although we’ve only used it a few times since I remounted the control panel, our microwave is also still working. But I’m not sure we’ve given it a long enough test yet. We did make two bags of popcorn last night, which was required two 3.5 minute cooking periods. In the past we might have seen a problem with the second one. So we’ll just have to wait and see.
