Although it did rain for a short time this morning, the afternoon was clear and not too hot. In fact the forecast is for high 80’s to 90 for the next 10 days or so, and that sounds nice, especially for August in Texas.

Early in the afternoon, I started making gate guarding calls. I left a message with Jamie of Gate Guard Services, and hopefully he’ll call back tomorrow.

Guard 1 took my name and email address and said they’d email me some paper work to fill out. She also wanted to know when we’d be available, and seemed pleased when I told her next week. But as of tonight I still haven’t received any email from them.

As far as the wind farm thing, the girl at Sitewatch said she’d email Buster and he would call me as soon as he was free. But so far I haven’t heard from him either.

If I don’t hear anything in the next day or so, I’ll start calling down my list of gate guarding companies and see what I can stir up.

Later I spent some time working on new web stuff, getting things set up for a new company’s website.

A little after 4pm Jan and I headed up to Ellinger to have the Catfish Buffet at Peter’s BBQ . It was as good as usual, and at $10.95, at least they didn’t raise the price again.

Besides the Fried Catfish and Fried Shrimp which are both delicious, I really enjoy all the veggies and salads almost as much. Corn on the cob, boiled red potatoes, pinto beans, green beans with bacon and onions, boiled cabbage, cooked carrots, mac and cheese, and sweet rice. The salad selection is good too, with potato salad, fresh pea salad, Cole slaw, Jell-0 salad, and macaroni salad.

As for desserts, they’ve got banana pudding, peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler, and soft ice cream.

All in all, a very good buffet, especially if they don’t raise the price for the 3rd time.

I was surprised by the sweet rice. It looked like mashed potatoes, but the texture was different and it was sweet. I’d never had it before, so I had to ask what it was. It was good, but the sweetness was a surprise when I first tasted it.

We spent a few minutes talking to one of the ladies working there who confirmed my thought that all the vegetables were fresh, and the meats, like brisket, ribs, chicken, steak for chicken fried steak and hamburger, etc., are all bought fresh every morning.

And it certainly shows . . . and tastes.

Brandi’s been off this week so she and Landon spent the day at the Typhoon Texas Waterpark right down the road from them.

Then later the entire family all headed out to the Katy Food Truck Park to have dinner. Lendel and Sonja, Landon’s other grandparents are down from OK for Landon’s 6th birthday party tomorrow. Jan and I thought about going in to Katy for it, but Jan’s on the 3rd day coming off a migraine, so we begged off until we see them tomorrow.
