A Video Post Today

Today, this post is more about videos but first a recap from my previous "Hamburger Event" Blog post.

I made a complaint on the Krystal Website and gave them my Order number.  Last week I got a call from the owner of the Krystal's in Troy, AL where the poor service took place.  He told me they looked at their video archive and saw me on that day and the situation I experienced.  He was very apologetic and told me they were sending a training team in and getting rid of a few "Slackers".  He is also sending me some free coupons for some burgers.  Maybe I will finally get to try their Double-Bacon Cheeseburger!

My Range/Stove went belly up so I got a new one from Lowe's.  I like the one I had in my new home in Tally so I got the same kind.  Here are a couple of photos.





Last week I had to demo my software online to a group of engineers in Costa Rica.  They all spoke Spanish so I had to learn some Spanish pretty fast.  Here is a clip of me at the beginning of the demo.  In the future, I may have to fly there to do some on-site training.

Turn up the volume to hear it.



On another note, the Kittens have now become part of the "Pack".  I gave the dogs and kittens a "licky plate" to share.  Most dogs are very possessive about their food but Buddy and Max seem to be OK  sharing with the kittens.


The next video is a tour of the RV which I'm sure everyone saw on the Buck's Pocket video.  I'm putting it here so Debbie can review it as I am planning a trip in November for a visit and she wants to see the interior again in case she wants to visit the campsite and possibly stay overnight in the RV.


That's All Folks.

THE HAMBURGER

I usually don't eat fast foods but when I travel I enjoy a burger on the road.  Last week I went to Panama City Beach to visit family.  I like to stop at Hardy's because their burgers are very good.  I couldn't find one so I thought I would try a Krystal burger in Troy, Alabama.

There was no one at the counter and only two people in the back.  There were two other employees in the dining room chit-chatting and one outside smoking.  I assumed they were on break.  Finally after 8 or 9 minutes someone from the back came out and took my order.  I ordered a double bacon cheese burger.  The counter person disappeared again and I saw my order come up to be bagged.  Another 5 or 6 minutes went by and I finally flagged the drive up person to get my order.  What an ordeal.

When I got back to my RV to eat it, I found it was just a plain hamburger.  The order was wrong and I was so mad but I didn't want to go back in so I just ate it.  Krystal HQ will hear about this one!

On the way back from Florida I again wanted a Hardy's burger but again could not find one easily accessible with my 31 foot RV.  I saw a Burger King on my side of the road, and I did like the Whopper so I stopped there.  When I got to the counter they told me their grill was down and they could only offer two types of Chicken sandwiches. Jeez, I just want a burger!!!  Not wanting to stop again I got a chicken sandwich.

As I pulled out of the parking lot, I saw a Hardy's next Door.  Man, I just can't WIN!  What's a guy got to do to get a decent hamburger?

I better start marking the Hardy's with my GPS unit so I can find them the next time.

FOOT NOTE:  When I was in Florida I had a fantastic burger and the best fries I ever had at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.  I wish there was one of them around here.
