Friend and blog reader John Huggins set me straight on my rain gauge problem that I mentioned yesterday. Turns out I had forgotten about the buttons on the top of the display.

Turns out that with the ‘Rain’ button you can step through the 1 Hour, 1 Day, 1 Week, Present Month, Present Year, and Total Forever Inches.

Thanks, John.

Work went pretty smoothly today, as I was able to get a lot done, mostly because I was able to concentrated on one task at a time and finish it without having to go stomp out a fire somewhere else. Nice.

About 5:30 Jan and I drove up to the Jimmy Changas on I-45 just above FM646 to meet up with long-time friend’s Beth and Bob Young, who we’ve known for about 30 years. It’s been about a year since we last got together, so we had a lot to talk about.

Jan had the Stuffed Avocado,

which she said was good, but not quite as good as the one she gets at Los Cabos over in Columbus when we stay at the Colorado River Thousand Trails.

I started out with a cup of the Creamy Chicken Poblano Soup.

Unfortunately I ate half of it before I remembered to take a photo.

For my entrée I had the Machete Salad with Fajita Beef and the Creamy Poblano Dressing.

And looking back, it’s the same salad I had when we last ate here almost two years ago. And both were really good.

Tomorrow looks to be a nice, easy, stay at home day for a change. Looking forward to it.

The Word of the Day is: 

yuityui

I think.

After my client’s email problems last night, I was up early since I figured I’d would have to go in this morning, but it turns out it was all working OK and all the missing emails had shown up.

After I got home last night I began to wonder if the problem was not with our email server, but with the domain name itself which is hosted on Godaddy. When an email comes in, it gets fed through Godaddy and then down to our server. The fact that some emails were coming through after a long delay, and some not at all, led me to believe it wasn’t us. So hopefully it’ll settle down for now.

I’m still trying to figure out how the rain gauge is supposed to work on my new La Crosse Weather Station.

Yesterday morning about 5am it poured down rain for about 45 minutes so when I got up about 9 and checked the display, I was surprised to see that it hadn’t recorded even .01 of an inch. So when when I got home from work last night I brought it inside and removed and replaced the batteries, and then put it under a drip in the sink.

And in about 30 minutes it was reading 3.65 inches, so I guess it was working now, and I set it aside. But then when I happened to look at the display a little later, about 7:30, It was showing 0.00 again.

Now weather stations I’ve worked with in the past, at TV stations and NASA, monitored the rain on a 24 hr. basis and would reset at midnight, so I’m not sure what this one is doing. Just something else to look into, I guess.

About 5pm, Jan and I headed over toward I-45 to try out a Vietnamese place in the area called Phở 20. We were looking for a local restaurant to replace the Asian Grill in Conroe and Little V’s in Katy. It had 4.4 stars on Google so we had high hopes.

We started off with an order of Pork Spring Rolls, good with a really good peanut sauce, though not quite as good as Little V’s. But good enough that I forgot to get a photo.

Next up, I had a bowl of Miso Soup,

very, very good, while Jan got their Crunch Salad with Tempura Crunchies.

Also very good.

For our entrée, Jan got the Chicken Vermicelli Bowl,

while I got the Beef, Chicken, and Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl.

Everything was really good, and we’ll certainly go back.

The owner waited on us, and we enjoyed talking to him and his wife. Very nice people.

Since we had had spring rolls and soup/salad to start, we both had leftovers from our entrées, and as we were getting into the truck, the owner’s wife came running out with a big order of Fried Rice to take home with us. Very nice.

Tomorrow it’s back to work, and then dinner with friends at Jimmy Changa’s tomorrow night. Really looking forward to it.

The Word of the Day is:  Ebullient

Thought for the Day: 

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten,  every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.†– George Orwell, “1984â€
