Ärende: Dinner out
==================
-> He doesn't have to deal with that much Tri-care stuff right now.  OTOH,
-> last fall when some paperwork of mine needed renewing, he took time in
-> the appointment to fill it out on the spot even tho it put us way over
-> the scheduled time allowed for the appointment.
-> 
Sometimes that's the only way to make sure it gets done.
 
-> Actually, we'll pick it up wherever we decide to fly in to & drive it
-> cross country.  But yes, Steve has been burning up his keyboard trying
-> to get price quotes from various dealers in different cities/states.

Good idea.  Sometimes the destination charges and taxes alone can change
the price by a thousand dollars.
 
->  RH> it to work!  I tried and couldn't.  It's one of those little mini
->  RH> critters that's mostly plastic.  They're light enough to run on
->  RH> batteries.
-> 
-> One of those that's no more than a toy?  Rachel's MIL gave her one (yes,
-> I got it working for her) of those.  After I tried it, I got her a
-> proper sewing machine.  I also got my friend Marty's machine to work for

emergency repairs.  

-> It's not unusual.  Steve is meeting with Transportation on Tuesday and
-> will try to set up an end of July pack out.  I've got to figure out what
-> sort of basic kitchen stuff to hold out--the Aloha furnishings are more
-> in the furniture only line.  Thought about holding out my 9 year old
-> microwave oven but Steve said we'll pick up a cheap little one after
-> pack out & mail it to GA when we leave. He also wants to get a set of

That's either a good idea or a very bad one.  You can't kill some older
microwaves. 

-> cheap pots & pans that we an sell or give away when we move.  I'll hold
-> out a cutting board, some knives, other basics but may start once a week
-> shopping and buying more convenience stuff like premade orange juice,
-> bread, etc.

But not frozen concentrate? And I hope no Wonder Bread.
