Not This Time . . .
Except for fighting a squirrely iPad last night, it wasn’t a bad shift. Steady, but not too busy, either.
I’m not sure what the problem was, but you would enter a person into the frack site once and then they would sometimes show up four times in the personnel list.
It’s possible that some of the problems might be caused by the fact that due to the bad phone service in this area, we can sync and upload the data. The program is definitely running slower, sometimes taking 3 or 4 taps before it recognizes a button click.
I was up about 12:15 and we were out the door to first have lunch at Barth’s, and then some HEB shopping.
Today being Thursday, it was our first time to have the Fried Pork Chop/Meatloaf lunch buffet. So now we’ve done all seven days/menus.
Jan, not being a big pork chop fan, had one of their delicious Cheeseburgers, but after a bite of my meatloaf, she might have regretted her choice a bit.
She said she really like the meat loaf, so maybe next time. And she also missed out on the mashed potatoes and gravy.
The pork chops were great, really chicken-fried, since they use the same batter as on their chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken. Really good.
Normally I make my Escapade reservations earlier, by kept waiting to hear about whether or not we would be doing our gate guard seminar. I don’t know why, because were going to go anyway, but it fell by the wayside.
So now if I book into the Escapade I can only get a boondock site, i.e., no hookups whatsoever. Not something we want to do for a week or so. And even boondocking, the cost is still $335. But if we just do a walk-in it’s only $170.
So now we’re booked into the Voyager RV park right down the road for the duration of the rally at a lot less money. Win-Win.
I never got a text from Todd this afternoon, so it looks like the other guy finally showed up, so not this time. Now just waiting for the next gate.
I mentioned a week or so ago about using Sam’s Club new Scan & Go feature. You just scan each product as put in your cart, and then when you’re finished shopping just click the Check Out button and you’re done. A receipt is displayed on your phone, you show it to the greeter and you’re out the door.
I was hoping that Wal-Mart would come out with the same idea, and today I heard they had. So I went right to the Google PlayStore to download it. But the first thing I notice was that the program only averaged 2.8 stars, while the Sam’s version was 4.5. So what’s the difference?
Well, a little reading explained everything. The Wal-Mart Scan and Go app only works in one Wal-Mart location in Rogers, AZ.
Bummer!
Not very useful yet, hence the 2.8 stars. Hopefully it will be rolled out nationwide at some point.
Thought for the Day:
“Never get in a battle of wits with someone smarter than you are!”
This is why I tend to only argue with myself. That way I’m guaranteed to win.
