Happy Thanksgiving!

Good morning! 43 now. Looks like pretty stable temperatures all day. Rain is not far off.

Going to my step sister’s for Thanksgiving. The family will be there in force. My dad is 90, he still won’t like turkey! They are giving me a break on doing smoke and fried turkey’s this year. It has been 2 years since I have made a turkey period.

Just did a bunch of little stuff yesterday. Which was fine. Did buy the hitch hauler. Guy had used it like once. Gonna work great on the back of the tractor for hauling the saw/wood cutting supplies, feed, etc.

Really looking forward to today. One year ago, I was pretty much stuck on the couch. I barely ate anything for breakfast, even tho we couldn’t go anywhere, my wife made a Thanksgiving me for us. I barely ate anything. I had trouble chewing the turkey due to lack of taste and lack of appetite. We didn’t know that the Covid had wreaked havoc on my GI tract and I was much sicker than anyone thought. Was till coughing, no energy, etc. it wasn’t a good day at all. TV was on, but don’t remember a single thing we watched. I even stopped playing ”The Daily Challenge” in solitaire since I had so little energy and was having issues focusing. Did do my daily update with Cleveland Clinic. The response was I had not changed from the day before.

My wife still jokes about how last years Turkey became the first time she ate an entire turkey herself. Over the next couple of weeks while she was sick/ quarantined, she ate a lot of turkey.

Everyone enjoy your day!

And stay safe out there

I stepped outside this morning about 4 a.m. to find a very pleasant 54 dry degrees. The 20-30% chance of rain didn't happen. But then around 6 a.m., a 35 mph north wind arrived and by 7 a.m. that pleasant 54 degrees had turned into a chilly and windy 45 degrees.

We brought our diabetic cat with us, which took up a good bit of our bed, so I slept on the couch most of the night. The smell of food cooking is good.
Happy thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We hope that everyone has a great time with family and enjoy a good meal.

Happy belated birthday to David! That was an expensive gift to yourself.....

Low was 24, going up to 47. We did get a brief sprinkle yesterday, only about a 100th of an inch. The weather guesser on the TV last night said no more precip in the forecast for the next 2 weeks. Our last rain (.25") was back in Sept. It is really getting dry again.

The middle son and and 3 of our grandsons will be eating dinner with us. Youngest son, his wife and daughter are doing their own thing, but may come over for desert later. Our daughter, MIL, and remaining grandkids are staying up in Colorado. It's the first Thanksgiving that we won't all be together.... it will be strange.

Last evening, all of a sudden, I got a sharp pain on the side of my knee.... really sharp stabbing pain when I tried to stand / walk. It lasted for about 20 minute, then just went away as fast as it started. I didn't do anything but go to the grocery store yesterday, so have no clue as to what caused it.....

Not much progress on the sofa table. I have the boards cut to size and run through the planer. Next up will be predrilling the holes and then sanding begins. That is the only part of woodworking that I don't enjoy.... sanding. Seems like it is never-ending, after all the time and effort put into it, there are still only pieces of wood laying there.....

Gonna get started helping the wifey with the KP duties. We are going to watch the Macy's parade on TV while prepping, then the National Dog Show.

Hope everyone's day is enjoyable!
