 RH>> It's starting to get that way. I'm going to open up a lot of boxes

 NB>> Master bedroom/bath... kitchen... the two most important rooms coming
 NB>> together...  definitely progress...  :)

 RH> Yes, we can sleep, get cleaned up and cook (basically) & eat. We can
 RH> also clean up the cooking/eating dishes.
 
Got the basics now...  ;) 
 
 NB>>> and be findable...  ;)   Lots of work, admittedly...  but you're
 NB>>> definitely getting into the home stretch...  :)
 RH>> I'd say more like rounding 2nd, heading toward third base at the
 RH>> moment.
 NB>> That can feel like at least the beginning of the home stretch.. (G) By
 NB>> the time I'm halfway home from a long trip, it certainly feels like
 NB>> I'm getting into the home stretch, even if I still have hours to go
 NB>> before I'm actually getting near...  :)

 RH> Sort of like getting past Syracuse when headed to western NY from the
 RH> Catskills. (G) Getting there but know you still have a ways to go.
 RH> OTOH, turning off I-10 in Benson, onto State Route 90, means we're
 RH> almost to the Fort Huachuca/Sierra Vista area, only about 30 miles, but
 RH> it feels like we're coming home. We get some of the same feeling when
 RH> we get off I-85 on to US 1, heading towards Raleigh. (I can just see
 RH> you digging out your Rand McNally, checking out the routing.--G--)

Actually I could easily picture all but the Arizona scenario fine.. ;)
But, yes, that's the sort of thing I had in mind...  ;)

 RH>> I got the fiesta chicken, forget the name of the chicken thing Steve
 RH>> got. He got a caesar salad, I got a house salad.
 NB>> Pretty much basic choices.  :)

 RH> Yes, I needed something with protein or I might have gone for their
 RH> spinach salad and a side of garlic bread. I've done that in the past,
 RH> several times.
 
I haven't eaten at Applebee's too many times, and pretty much every time
I have trouble finding something that fits what I want... but then I
apparently have weird tastes and dietary concerns...
 
 NB>>> I think they were out of that when we went... we'd gone to
 NB>>> Fonda/Johnstown for a NYSCOGO meeting the next day, and it was a
 NB>>> bunch of us there for the meeting that were staying at the same
 NB>>> motel that went out...
 RH>> Everybody was in a chocolate mood? It was a toss up between that and
 RH>> the strawberry cheesecake; we may go back some time to try that.
 NB>> Apparently... they were out of a lot of things, particularly dessert-y
 NB>> things, that night...  It seemed like, from what the waitress was
 NB>> saying, that they'd had a much heavier than anticipated patronage that
 NB>> night, and were out of a lot of things...  IIRC, butter was one of
 NB>> them...  ;0

 RH> You sure it wasn't some holiday where everybody goes out to eat, like
 RH> Mother's Day or Valentine's Day? Sounds like they really got slammed
 RH> with customers.

The last is probably true... but it wasn't anything special that I was
aware of... it was the weekend after Columbus Day weekend...  But it was
a Friday night, so that might have had something to do with it... :)
