Well we know from the season beginning that Walter is alone on his next birthday (he has to arrange his bacon himself) and he bought a bunch of guns, and then got the ricin in a house that was ransacked and had ‘hisenburg’ painted on the wall.

Do we know that those events occurred in that order? Could his trip to his ransacked house have come before his birthday in the diner?

[Mr. K]

no, because when he goes into the house he opens his trunk to get something and we see the guns

So he goes to his house AFTER the breakfast at the diner

No, because he pulls up in the car he bought (with the gun in the trunk) at the Denny’s. Definitely the chronological sequence is go to Denny’s “celebrate” his birthday, buy car with guns, go to old home, retrieve ricin.
