Yes on the rewiring., but that's easy. The wood refinishing isn't too bad, but will take longer because of the drying time for the wood finishes.

I was about 1 hour 10 minutes for the 6-1/2 miles. In 1981-1982, I could do that distance in half the time. It must be the altitude. :-)

The grilled ribeye and mashed potato salad meal last night "hit the spot." Whatever that means. LOL. I made a lot of potato salad in order to have leftovers for lunches for dh. Deli potato salad became a regular item on the grocery list this summer. He can add onions, if he likes. I realized I was out of yellow mustard when the time came to assemble the potato salad last night, so I substituted Grey Poupon. A slightly different taste but still good.

Tonight will be red beans and rice with the frozen red beans in the freezer. Side will be either romaine salad or coleslaw.

Hard to imagine a Popeye's without chicken. Some of the big gas stations with food are known to have good fried chicken and good fried catfish. My mother cooked fried chicken in a large cast iron skillet with high sides. The hot oil popped and made a mess of the stove. My best memory of fried chicken. She cut up whole chickens to turn them into the maximum number of pieces for a large family. There was one "wish-bone" piece out of the breast. And the wings were two pieces with a little drumstick.
