I do like S'n'S and their shakes.  The burgers are very thin most of the time,
but they make up for that with toppings and other good stuff.  When I'm feeling
gluttenous, I'll order the mushroom and swiss with fries, a bowl of chili and a
shake, but that's rare these days...I skip the shake most of the time now. :)

But really, the nearest S'n'S that I know of is in Kennesaw, a good 30 miles
north.  I won't drive that far to get a burger. :P

I'll ask for no-salt extra-well-done fries.  I prefer my burger plain with
cheese (much to the horror of some people :), so I can really taste the quality
of the meat.  I was not brought up to have rare hamburger, so that's not a
taste I know.  Maura did turn me on to medium-well steaks.  Much juicier than
the charcoal briquets I was having most of the time.

That is something I'm working on...I got busy today with having to retrieve the
VUE from the dealer.  Yesterday, I ran the VUE in because both the "check
engine" and "check airbag" lights were on.  The "check engine" light was caused
by my putting a locking gas cap on due to some of my neighbors' nightly
"self-serve" gas habits.  However, it seems the main module that controls the
airbags was bad, so they had to keep it overnight.

Since this was being covered under my extended warranty, I got a rental car and
the only thing they had that was GM was a 2007 full-size Silverado pickup.  It
was a brute-king cab and full-length bed.  I also had the chance to meet a good
friend in person that I'd known for 12 years online as he was flying to
Baltimore and had a 90 minute layover in Atlanta.

So, I got my boss to cover my shift at work for a few hours, got Maura, drove
out to Hartsfeld-Jackson, met said friend and enjoyed meeting him.  After that
was over, drove back to work, then back home.

That, alone, cost me over $30 in gas in that truck and that only got me a 1/4
tank!

But, after seeing the $700 invoice for the repairs to my VUE and seeing my copy
of the invoice that said I owed the dealer $0, I'm very happy I spent the money
on an extended warranty.  That alone was about a quarter of the cost of the
warranty.

I didn't do much today to try to relax, but I am planning on enabling a way to
get you to at least the main menu quickly to avoid all of the other screens.

That's what I was hoping to hear! :)  I do have the Blue Wave door for Maximus
around here somewhere if there was ever a call for it.
