Well, I Tried . . .
I spent the morning and early afternoon trying to get the new website configured and set up for my client. Without a lot of luck.
I have a working version of it over on my Godaddy account, so my idea was to just migrate it over to my client’s cPanel account using Godaddy’s Import function.
Easy Peasy, Right?
But, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to work.
I kept getting errors that didn’t really make any sense. Like “Not enough disk space to create 1MB file.” But this was shown on the source area, not on the destination area, where you would think that it would be creating files.
And besides, both areas have over a 1GB of disk space. so what’s the problem? So after trying different things, and getting different error messages, none of which made any sense either, I put in a call to Godaddy Tech Support.
And after going round and round, with Richard, the tech guy, talking to a number of higher level techs, it turns out no one even knows where that function came from.
Or when it came.
And looking at the way it was supposed to work, they said there was no way it could. And that it must have been left over from some previous software version, and not been deleted when it should have been.
Oh well. I knew it was too easy.
So now it looks I’ll to set it up from scratch, install the SQL databases, and then configure it. Something I was trying to avoid, if possible.
Well, I tried.
Around 4 we drove over to the Victory Lakes area to have breakfast/dinner at Denny’s, our first time since we got back last Sunday. Great as always. Coming home we made a stop at the Sam’s Club and the WalMart in Texas City trying to find Joint Juice for Jan. But just like yesterday’s Sam’s Club/WalMart up in Webster, no one had it in stock.
As we were leaving, I noticed the line of cars wrapped around the Murphy/WalMart gas station, and then quickly saw why. They were selling unleaded at $1.99/gal.
Now just yesterday I paid $2.27 at the Sam’s Club in Webster, and thought I was getting a good deal, since everywhere else had it for $2.39 – $2.49. So I don’t know if it’s a gas war down there, or what.
But since I just filled up yesterday, I couldn’t take advantage of it. Darn!
After it had cooled a little, I went outside about 7pm to take a look at my radiator problem. But as I was adding water to the radiator, it suddenly dawned on me that the truck had been sitting there for a month without being started, and might not start now.
And it didn’t. And when I put the charger on it, it said the battery was at 6.9 volts. So it’s probably toast long term.
But finally, just as the sun was going down, I got it to start. So I’ll take a look at it tomorrow.
Well, I tried.
Thought for the Day:
Lowell sent over this photo of Landon at their pool. Hard to believe he’ll be 9 pretty soon.

Now That’s Class . . .
First up, I’ve posted the next installment of my trip. It’s Regensburg, Germany, and it’s for May 5th.
Today was a pretty quiet day, for a change. After a nice morning, we had lunch at Rudy’s BBQ up in Webster, so now we’ve had the Trifecta of meals we missed on our trip – Chinese at King Food, Mexican at Los Ramirez, and now BBQ at Rudy’s.
All’s right with the world.
Next up, we made a quick WalMart stop for a couple of things, a quick Sam’s stop for a prescription, and then headed back toward home. But when we got down to Dickinson, I made a detour to the Enterprise rental office to see if they could get Jan’s seat headrest down.
The last person who used it must have been about 6’8” tall since it’s up so high that Jan’s head doesn’t even touch it. But even reading the manual, I can’t get it down. So I thought maybe they could help.
But it seems they closed at noon on Saturday, so no luck. I’ll try again Monday on the way home.
With that, we made a stop off at the storage room to drop the suitcases, heaters, and quilts off, and then it was home. Just in time for a nice nap.
It’s hard to believe that a long time ago I didn’t like naps. Times have changed.
Tomorrow we were supposed to go up to Conroe to meet up with our friend’s Chris and Charles Yust, but they had some mechanical problems on their trip here from Florida, so we’re putting it off until Wednesday.
Random Notes About Our European Trip:
Using the restroom at Rudy’s today and using air blower hand dryer thingie, I remember noticing that as we traveled across Europe, every single restroom, except two that I was in, used the air dryers rather than paper towels. And in every case, including today, I saw the person use it for 30 seconds or so, and then end up drying their hands on their shirt or pants. Me included.
I guess if you stood there long enough it might actually work, but who wants to wait that long?
The two exceptions were the public area bathrooms on the ship, and bathrooms at the Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel where we had Afternoon Tea (that blog still to come).
Both of them did it this way.
Now that’s class!
