Subj : Repairs [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Tue Jul 30 2024 13:19:27 Hi Dave, RH> The only Hardee's in WF closed several years ago, before the pandemic RH> hit so we have to find one in neighboring communities. Carl's Jr. is a RH> western chain; we've stopped there a time or two when west of the RH> Mississippi. DD> When Carl's Jr. bought the Hardee's chain they initially re-branded DD> many of the stores to Carl's Jr. and watched sales make a death dive. DD> So they went back to being the more-familiar Hardee's Hardee's is better known east of the Mississippi. They used to do a roast beef, similar to Arby's, slicing it after it was ordered. Probably Arby's (or Roy Rogers in some markets) was more popular but I wish they'd not discontinued it. DD> The local franchisee dragged his feet on the new signage so didn't DD> have to re-brand his stores. I understand the menus are slightly DD> different beteen C-J and Hardee's. It has been a while since we've been in a Carl's Jr; having the camper we now usually fix our own lunches. IIRC, the menua are similr, but, as you say, slight differences. I can't recall specific ones tho. DD> 8<----- SNIP----->8 RH> Interesting, so are you getting it fixed this week? DD> It's done. BMW FED-Exed the coils the day they diagnosed the problem DD> and I picked up the car next day. Good, no idea how long the RV place will take with the camper. More work has to be done--taking off both long sides and replacing them is not a one day job. DD> There's some pretty territory oven in the west end of your state. And DD> a bit of history revolving around the moonshiners and reveners. RH> We've been out there various times. The lady that used to co-odinate RH> our Quilts of Valor group was a native of Tennisee; her family went RH> back generations. She told me about one ancester, Gunpowder Mary RH> (Google it) and how she outsmarted the British during the Revolutionary RH> War. DD> 8<----- WHACK ----->8 RH> No, closer to Sicily. Switzerland is up near the top of the boot. DD> Sorry you said toe and my mind read top. Bv)= Senior moment. RH> Understandable. We've spent some enjoyable time in Switzerland when we RH> were stationed in Germany. Used to camp in Interlaken with friends; RH> we'd bring marshmallows and graham crackers but buy the chocolate down RH> there. One year we introduced (American) missionary kids living in RH> France to S'mores. DD> I sort of envy you guys the travel you got on Uncle Sugar's nickle. I DD> spent my whole enlistment after boot camp at the Naval Air Station in DD> Millington, Tn. Did fly around the world once on a "training" flight. DD> Saw a lot of blue water and cloud passing under out aero-chine. And DD> found that the inside of one military air field is much like any other DD> right down to the mess hall. RH> Should have stayed in longer, maybe had the chance to see more of the RH> world. My dad was WWII, Navy, Pacific theater. He never cared for rice RH> or spam, interestingly tho, did like canned corned beef, after the war. RH> One 3 week stretch in December 44 to January 45 they had alternating RH> meals of canned corned beef and Spam. Supply ship couldn't get thru. DD> My brother did a tour in Vietnam. To this day he will not eat rice. I'm not surprised. Back when our older daughter and her husband bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse, my dad didn't like the car because it was Japanese (one of his ships was hit by an--unsuccessful--kamikaze attack). He did buy German cars tho. DD> Title: Navy S.O.S. (Minced Beef) DD> Categories: Beef, Vegetables DD> Yield: 10 Servings RH> Never heard of or saw that at home when I was growing up. DD> We had S.O.S. fairly often when I was a youngster. Both the hamburger DD> based and the "real" sliced, dried beef versions .... depending on how DD> close it was to payday. Bv)= Mom did other things to stretch the budget but never S.O.S. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
