Hats and Hooter’s . . .
The Latest Landon Pics!
He’s really proud of his new hat.
This morning started early. Instead of just getting up about 10, I was up, coffeed, and out the door by then.
I had spent the weekend cleaning up a mailing list and printing out thousands of labels so my client could get them on the flyers and out the door by this coming Wednesday.
I also wanted to get back on updating and moving his UPS shipping program to a new computer.
But this was not to be. Exporting the database out to a file was no problem, but when I went to install the new 2012 version of the UPS Shipping program, I found out the 450 MB file I had spent an hour downloading a week ago, was glitched and would not execute. Bummer!
Don’t know what the problem was, because it seemed to download OK.
I think I’ll go over to another client’s office tomorrow and re-download it there. They’ve got a 6 Mbps line while this client only has a 1.5 Mbps one.
I’ve also got a new computer to install in the graphics department where they do the paper catalogs. But I have to wait for the lady to pull everything she wants to keep off the old one.
During this time I was also on the phone with RV Mobile Lube setting up an appointment for a tech to come out next Wednesday and service our rig. They were last here two years ago, and it’s about that time again.
They handle rigs in the Houston, Dallas, and Texas Hill Country area, and come to your site in a big step van and change your engine oil, transmission oil, and all filters, and hit any chassis lube points. And they do the same for your Onan generator.
I had them used the Transynd synthetic transmission fluid last time and will do it again. Although it adds about $170 to the cost, after it’s done twice, it reinstates some of Allison’s warranty coverage, and I won’t have to have it serviced again for 75,000 miles, about 8 years for us.
Another nice thing is that they keep your service records online so you can keep track of your service intervals. (You can click this shot to enlarge it.)
They should be here about 8 am, and based on last time, it takes a couple of hours.
I got back to the rig about 5pm, and then Jan and I headed up to Seabrook to have dinner at the Hooter’s there. It was time for our hot wing fix and this is the place for it.
But, on a more disturbing note, I’m afraid Hooter’s may be going upscale. They now have a podium just inside the entrance, and one of the young ladies seats you at your table and gives you the menus. What are things coming to?
I don’t know about you, but upscale service is NOT what I come to Hooter’s for!

Thought for the Day;
It said "Insert CD 3…" but only 2 will fit in the drive. What do I do now?
