   Hi Sean,   
      
      
    RH> Something, somewhere along the line, I've lost a day or two of messages   
    RH> about every other week. Other than that, things are going well.   
      
    SD> You and Stephen are welcome to create accounts on my BBS for checking   
    SD> if you want.  My Fido feed is directly from the Z1C.  I can toggle   
    SD> accounts permanent so you don't have to log on all the time to keep   
    SD> the account active.   
      
      
   Might have to consider it; this has happened for several weeks now. No   
   Fido the beginning of the week but usually restored by Wednesday or so.   
   Not a big deal this week as we're working on pulling everything in place   
   to celebrate our 50th anniversary on Saturday. All sorts of odds and   
   ends to do like figuring amounts of food/drink and ordering/buying,   
   number of tables to set up in the Legion building main room, buying   
   decorations, and so on. Couldn't get a reservation for dinner afterward   
   at the restaurant we wanted so will be trying another steakhouse in the   
   Raleigh area.   
      
    RH> We lost our GC to the government shut downs a few years ago. It   
    shut RH> down and reopened about a year later as a fiction kitchen for   
    several RH> "restaurants" that wanted to do take out only.   
      
    SD> I remember you discussing this.  That's a sad ending for a GC.   
      
   Very much so. There is still at least one GC in Raleigh but we're going   
   over to Texas Roadhouse instead. They don't have the buffet but do have   
   a good assortment of steaks and sides.   
      
      
    RH> Hopefully the adjustment will happen soon and allow you to eat whatever   
    RH> you want.   
      
    SD> It'll cost me about $60 with the adjustment fee and getting over there   
    SD> to get it all done.   
      
   Sigh! I know, one of those things that's gotta be done. Any closer to   
   getting your own set of wheels?   
      
      
    RH> Sounds good to me. One of my criteria for judging a place like that is   
    RH> how they do their red cabbage. Some places make it too sweet, others   
    RH> don't cook it long enough for the cabbage to fully cook, etc so those   
    RH> that do it right generally do the meat and other sides to my   
    RH> satisfaction.   
      
    SD> The red cabbage is excellent.  Lghtly sweet and tangy.  I like it so I   
    SD> guess that says something.   
      
    RH> Sounds like it would be a winner in my book.   
      
    SD> If y'all are heading this way, let me know and I'll get my parents to   
    SD> come too.  Freiberg's has a $5.99 lunch deal Mon-Fri that can't be   
    SD> beat.   
      
   We'll have to consider it, especially now that I-40 is still such a mess   
   in western NC. We don't want to be towing our camper in a narrower than   
   normal lane so would have to figure out a re-routing. Not planning on   
   heading west for a while anyway so have time to work it out.   
      
      
    RH> We were there the end of September last year. Got out of town and   
    RH> eastbound on I-40 Thursday afternoon; that was in the water Friday   
    RH> morning. We were there with the RV/radio club; met a new couple   
    RH> originally from Poland. For supper one night, she made a cucumber salad   
    RH> like one I'd not had since we were in Germany so after the meal, I   
    RH> asked and she was kind enough to share the recipe with me.   
      
    SD> That's neat!  I enjoy meeting people from all over the world in my   
    SD> travels also.   
      
   That's where the 26 years Steve spent in the Army was such a great   
   experience. Almost 6 years in Germany, various regions of the USA, Korea   
   (for him) introduced us to quite a few new cultures and foods. Even   
   something as basic as a move to Savannah after having lived in NC was a   
   different spin on southern living/foods. Got introduced to one of my   
   favorite ways of doing seafood there--shrimp and grits. (G)   
      
    SD> I love both versions of the Frisco sandwices also.  Haven't been there   
    SD> in a while due to lack of transportation.   
      
    RH> I'll just take a sausage biscuit and orange juice for breakfast there   
    RH> and carry in a travel cuppa tea, thank you. (G)   
      
    SD> I do like sausage biscuits.  They seem to settle okay on my stomach   
    SD> any time day or night.   
      
   I like them better than the biscuits with the eggs--for some reason the   
   eggs just don't taste that good in a biscuit but sausage does.   
      
      
    SD> Speaking of stomach, I am scheduled for a gastric emptying study on   
    SD> October 1 and an endoscopy on October 29 to check for gastroperesis   
    SD> and eosinophilic esophagitis respectively.  I suspect I have both, as   
    SD> does   
    SD> my gastro doctor.  I would like to be able to enjoy eating again.   
      
   No fun; but, if you want to enjoy eating again, it has to be done. I had   
   an appointment with my orthopedic dr on Tuesday, follow up from the fall   
   I had in June. The arm healed well but my left shoulder was hurting so   
   he took x-rays, found out that the vertabrae in my neck are a bit out of   
   line. He put in a referral to a spine doctor, waiting to get a call to   
   schedule that appointment. I'd almost canceled the ortho appointment as   
   the arm was doing well but didn't, because I wanted the shoulder looked   
   at.   
      
    SD> I am going to audiology on the 30th for a hearing test and to be   
    SD> fitted for in-ear hearing aids.  I have issues with my current   
    hearing SD> aids plus I am suffering from vertigo now that may or may   
    not be tied SD> to my SD> tinnitus.   
      
    SD> This will be an eventful fall for me!   
      
   Better to get it all done in a relativly short time than stretching   
   things out. I'd rather have months of no appointments, then have several   
   close together instead of various appointments spread over a long time.

   Getting to be that time of year again. We're not planning any trips   
   after next month, have to figure out what to do for Thanksgiving. Last   
   year one of the older, single men in our church invited us to join   
   him/his family (we knew other members of the family) for the day. Had a   
   good time, good meal and brought home both the turkey carcasse and ham   
   bone for soup making.
