Hagerstown MD?

Nice on the cleaning, guess it’s on my list.
Would carb fit in 10L?

Yes it was Hagerstown, MD. Be there again on Friday on the return trip from Burlington, VT.

10L is 2-1/2 gallons, I would think that even a 4 barrel Holley or Carter (now Edelbrock) would fit.

23 this morning, wow that’s cold letting the dog out.
49 later I’m told.

Lots of prep work today for tomorrow’s dinner at my stepdaughter’s. The dinner my wife was not going to cook this year. The only difference is now she has to cook and transport.
We were going out so I didn’t invite my kids and grandkids. I’m not a happy camper.

Have a good day all.

Good Morning.
It’s 28 headed to 40 and clear today.

Yesterday went pretty well, didn’t get a lot done other than my trip, but did stop at Harbor Freight on the way home from the airport, I got a cutter for a multi tool that does the rectangular cutout for an outlet. Someone borrowed the one that I used to have, and I can’t remember who it was. The good news is that the HF one was $17.99, almost 1/3 of what the first one cost from the supply house.
It was cold in Burlington, snow showers in the hills to the north.
Zoom airport meeting after dinner, then bed time.

Today will start by unloading and parking trailer for wife from the weekend’s alpaca show. (She brought goods, not animals).
Then I’ll start making tomorrow’s meal. I’ll make the stuffing and fresh cranberry relish today, the plan is to get the turkey in the oven at 7am Thursday. We got a fresh 18lb bird from the farm down the street.
Daughter is on her way across PA from her contract nursing assignment out west, youngest son is less than an hour away, oldest son is essentially in my front yard. It’s always a good time to get everyone together, I’m looking forward to it.

I’m hoping to get my chores done early enough to try the new grapple out today as well.

Drew, if you’ve got the right parts, I could join you and Ken for a shed party Saturday.

56 degrees this morning, going for a sunny high of 75. May have some rain tonight, but supposed to clear off by morning. I've got the ham, turkey, cheese cake, etc. ready for tomorrow and both daughters, son-in-law, and one granddaughter to be here tomorrow. Grandson and two grate grandkids to come by day after tomorrow. So we're looking forward to a nice THANKSGIVING WEEK. Hope yours is just as enjoyable.

23 frosty degrees going to 50.

Prayers said for you, Buppies.

Roy, which tree did you choose? We've always cut one from our property, but it's getting to be slim pickin's, most of those I planted are too big, or the deer rubbed them badly with their antlers. For the first time my wife actually peeked at those in Home Depot yesterday...all set up and lit with pre-installed lights. I though it funny that they had a rating system on them as to how realistic they looked...I guess we aren't expected to use our own eyes and taste. Some looked very nice.

Hadn't been to certain stores recently until yesterday...saw many empty shelves/slots in Tractor Supply and the grocery store...gas prices had gone up again...Home Depot didn't have a single socket or set in the place bigger than 36mm, but did find a pressure gauge for the well system. Went back to Ace and bought their 4 piece Craftsman set that went up to 38.

Yesterday I said we know we are getting old, falling off ladders...that was reinforced yesterday when we couldn't even finish splitting a "regular" size order of fries at Five Guys for lunch.

I see that a lot of large retailers are closing tomorrow for Thanksgiving...even Walmart...happy for their employees.

Good morning! 20 now, 46 later. Supposed to rain on Thanksgiving.

Off today, will get into something. Just not sure what yet. Going to buy a used hitch haler this afternoon. I don’t have a loader, and, IMO, the NH is too small for a carry all. There are times I want to haul small stuff with the tractor, but hate dragging a nearly empty trailer around. So gonna try a hitch hauler and use my 3 PT receiver. Plus the wife can use it to move bags of food to the barn for the birds.

One year ago today started out as an ok day. I had some energy from the fluids and oxygen in the emergency room. Didn’t get much sleep after getting home at 4 AM. My wife was home due to my positive test. She was on the phone with work, found out 2 of her employees had also tested positive Tuesday evening as well. Eating/drinking we’re still an issue. Cleveland Clinic (local hospital is part of the CC system) and reviewed my positive test and the rules of the road for a positive test. They also set me up with an online link to track my progress and provide advice. I logged in and provided temperature, answered questions, made comments.

The diarrhea started again during the day. But always very little any time it happened. As the day went on, I rapidly lost energy and got back to being stationary on the couch. She was outside late afternoon when the health department called to talk to me, I was too weak to go get the phone. I never did talk to anyone from the health department. She did, after I was admitted to the hospital.

Everyone stay safe out there!

Good morning! 55˚F, partly cloudy, heading to the mid 70s.

All the talk of Christmas trees, if I'm going artificial I'll go all the way. I would get an aluminum tree (not silver tinsel) with the revolving color wheel but those are now $400-$900. I might have to wait for a clearance sale in January or the huge neighborhood garage sale in the Spring.

Low was 21°, coldest of the month.

You can get anything you want, at Alice’s Restaurant. Sing it with me.

This was the year we were to go to my dad’s for thanksgiving. I asked about a month ago who was going and got no response, so we finally said we’re staying here. My wife did not want to prepare and take everything, and when we go to dad’s we have to do all the cleaning on top of all the cooking.
Then my one sister said, but I told dad you was coming, even though she won’t be there. My other sister then said she was going to dad’s but lamented over having to take everything. Then last week she had a stent put in, so isn’t supposed to do anything. I’ll go see dad next weekend. It’s hard getting everyone together.

Now we’ve been invited to my MILs house.
So we will hit the road about noon.

We just bought a quarter beef from our neighbor. Freezer is now full.

Everyone have a safe day.

Buppies, don’t get too cold paving.
