Yummy Yummy . . .
I just posted the latest installment of my European trip. Bamberg, Germany on 5/7/2019.
Check it out.
I spent the morning trying to get the credit card module working on the website. Still not sure what problem is, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t . But I’m beginning to think that it’s the credit card test site that’s really the problem. I emailed them but I haven’t heard back.
Last week we noticed that the old Ryan’s we used to go to over in Texas City was now an Asian Hibachi Sushi Buffet place called Yummy Yummy, so, even though we just ate at East Star Chinese Buffet on Tuesday, we thought we give it a try today.
I mean, you eat Chinese, and then two days later you want to eat it again, right? And it looks like that’s it’s going to give our favorite East Star a run for its money.
It’s much closer, it’s just as good, with a great selection, including boiled shrimp and blue crab on the lunch menu. And maybe even more importantly, it’s $1 cheaper per person, or $3 cheaper if you consider that they have the shrimp/crab items on the lunch menu and not on the more expensive dinner/weekend menu.
We’ll definitely go back. It was definitely Yummy Yummy.
Finishing lunch we come back under I-45 to make a WalMart stop for a few things. It’s been years since we been to this one until the other day, and it’s probably the weirdest layout we’ve seen. Like the pharmacy is next to the grocery area, and the hardware section is at the very back, with the sporting goods in the front.
Like I said, weird.
I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but I mentioned the other day that the WalMart Murphy gas station was selling gas at $1.99/gal. while everyone one around there is at $2.39 or so.
Well, today they had it for $1.97. So, since we’re going up to Conroe tomorrow afternoon to meet up with Chris and ‘Charles Yust, I thought I’d top off the tank. Unfortunately I only needed about 5 gallons. But at least I didn’t have to wait too long in line.

Looks Like I Just Missed Out . . .
Since it was forecast to pour down rain all day, and it did, almost 10” in some places, we decided to put off our Conroe meet-up with Chris and Charles Yust until Friday.
It’s supposed to be drier then.
Although there was a tornado warning in Galveston County, south of us, later in the afternoon, we never saw any of it. Just the steady downpour all day.
Because of the rain I still haven’t had a chance to take at look at my truck yet, but once I got the battery topped off, so far it’s holding its charge. So at least it will crank this time.
I did make some headway on my website work, finally getting the SQL: database to connect to the site, so I now I can concentrate on getting it configured and making it look nice.
Looks like I just missed out. A couple of weeks after we were in Paris, where we visited and had lunch in the Eiffel Tower, they began doing a zip line ride from the second floor 377 feet up.
The 2600+ foot line takes about a minute to complete and gives you a great view of the city.
Just my luck.
According to a recent article, Amazon expects to start making deliveries within months.
Supposedly the drones can fly 15 miles and deliver loads up to 5 pounds.
I guess it might work in some areas, but in Texas it’s probably going to be known as ‘skeet shooting for presents’.

What Are There Two National Doughnut Days?
