They’re All Mine . . .
Before I left for work this morning, I put in a call to Kenny at Snider’s Transmission to find out the best place to take my truck to get the water pump checked out/replaced. He recommended Mike’s Auto Repair right down the road here in Santa Fe, so I checked Google and put in a call. And got no answer.
I’d try again later at work.
At work, I got back on the website problem, and finally started to make some headway. It was up and running, and processing orders, but for some reason it wasn’t sending out confirmation emails to the customer, and it wasn’t detailing the shipping options correctly.
But I kept at it and finally got in set up and working. So now I started in on prettying the up the site, changing the colors and fonts to match our logo.
I’ve still got a few things to finish up, but I hope I’ll have it back online in the next day or so.
I had called Mike’s Auto Repair several times during the day, still with no luck. Maybe they’re closed on Monday?
So on my way home, I first headed up Hwy 6 to check out Mike’s, and found them open for business.
And after talking to the receptionist, I’m going to bring my truck up there tomorrow, though they may not get to look at it until Wednesday.
Turns out the problem with the phone number is that it’s wrong on Google and they haven’t been able to get it corrected.
They’re only about 3 miles away so hopefully I’ll be able to get it up there before it overheats, but I’ll carry extra water with me anyway.
This past Friday, when we were going out to eat with Chris and Charles Yust up in Conroe, we ended up behind this extended Nissan passenger van.
And looking a little closer, we read what was on the back window.
In case it’s a little fuzzy, it says –
They’re all mine.
I know what causes it.
My hands are full.
I’m glad it’s me and not you, also.
We’re not Catholic (or Mormon).
We are not on welfare.
It’s not a daycare.
We are not done.
And on the other side of the rear doors was this –
Looks like they might be angling for a TV show. But they’ve got a ways to go to catch the Duggar’s

Gonna Need A Bigger Barn . . .
Or A Hidden Gem
I’ve posted the next installment in our European Adventures, when we visited the city of Würzburg, Germany.
I spent the morning working on the website credit card problem, Friday I finally figured out what the real problem was. The credit card program that we were using is no longer supported, and is not supposed to be used.
So it’s just something else I have to change out and update.
About 3pm Jan and I headed out to have lunch at a new-to-us place. It’s only a few miles from here, and we pass it almost every day. but they don’t have much in the way of signage. But I’m not sure if if’s really needed, since word-of-mouth seems to be doing a good job. They do a big takeout and delivery business.
It’s called The Boudin Barn and it ‘s really, really good. And really, really small.
Like I said, they’re gonna need a bigger barn.
Jan had the Catfish and Shrimp Combo. She said it was really good.
I had the Cheeseburger Combo.
It’s a 1/2 pound of Angus Beef with Bacon mixed in, and served on a Brioche bun with all the fixings. Really good, and the fries are seasoned too.
Jan also got the Boudin Stuffed Mushrooms as an appetizer,
while I though I was getting a Boudin link and Boudin Balls appetizer too.
But it turned out to actually be a combo meal with fries and a drink, so I had plenty left over for dinner tomorrow night. YUM!
They also regularly do weekend specials, like Boudin-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breast, or Boudin-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Tenderloins. Apparently these are so popular that they sell out fast, So fast that they suggest you call and make a reservation.
Now that’s popular. We’ll definitely go back.
Finishing up at the Boudin Barn, we headed up to the League City WalMart to pick up a couple of things that the Texas City version was out of. Along the way we were happy to see that they had reopened southbound side of I-45 at FM 646. They had closed it down Friday night at 9pm, and it wasn’t supposed to reopen until 5am tomorrow morning. So ahead of time is nice.
