So the last couple days in Houston have been really good.

Tuesday was another scorcher of a day (29 degrees, 70% humidity), but we made it through in the relative comfort of the customer office. The work was ok, figure out a couple problems (and probably created a few more in the process). We went to this great burger place relatively close to the office, and had a really good Bleu Cheeseburger. It’s a good idea that I’m going to have to try making it when I get home. Any time you combine Bleu Cheese, Bacon, Beef, and Onion Rings all packed up in a burger how can it be bad.

Wednesday the weather finally cooled off to the balmy mid teens which is much more my style of weather. The day at work went super well, I gave the customers a demo/training session on a piece of software I built from scratch. It makes it pretty gratifiying when you can hear directly from the people you built something for that they’re happy (at least mostly happy) with something that was yours. For dinner me and Ryan went to Pappa Deaux, it’s a really good seafood place. I had a super good bowl of Crawfish Bisque to start and Crab Cakes for an entree, which I think is another thing that I’m going to have to make one day when I’m back at home. Probably won’t be quite as good as the ones here, given that Houston is only about a hour or so from the coast making fresh seafood a given. At home I’ll probably have to deal with frozen or canned crab, which I’m sure they will still be good .

Today was another nice mild day which I’m hoping keeps up for the weekend, work day again was pretty decent. Gave another demo/training to the users, that went over pretty well I think. This time it wasn’t on something I built from scratch but something that I spent a bunch of making improvements too. So it was almost as good as yesterday’s presentation, also spent sometime helping the users which is also pretty interesting. Cause they always come up with different things that you don’t see every day and it’s always a mental challenge. Dinner tonight was a quick stop at the fast foodish mexican place for some braised beef soft tacos with guac, that were really tasty.

Tomorrow is Friday which will be nice cause it’s almost the weekend and time for my trip down to the rainforest park, to spend a few hours taking way too many pictures I’m sure. Hopefully I don’t bore Ryan completely with the amout of time I’m going to spend using the camera but if I do it’s too bad since I’ve got the car keys .
