Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Good morning! 36 and sunny. High of 57 today.

Congratulations on the new gig PJ!

Turkey is in the smoker. Pecan wood chips are smelling good. We are eating around 4.

We had a contractor here doing some work at the barn. 2 guineas were seriously spooked by them and would not go into the barn. They ran into the woods instead. We were out around 6:30 last night with lights seeing if they would go in. They were still in the woods and were making noise. Finally gave up and figured they were toast. When I went out this morning to fire up the smoker, the 2 guineas were outside of the barn. They must have figured out survival skills in a hurry.

Welcome Yander….another one from Ohio.

Been busy just doing stuff. Likely continue being busy….always something to do. Did get the valves adjusted on the 1952 BSA. It wasn’t as hateful of a project as I expected. Tedious but not terrible. Hopefully I have the correct clearance as within BSA’s own literature there is about 6 different clearances listed for the B range singles. Depends on cams used and type of top end. Maybe I will tackle setting ignition timing next. That has at least 3 different settings listed. 🤦‍♂️

Everyone stay safe out there,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! and good morning to all!. Low was 26°, only 31° now, expecting to only hit 38°. Total cloud cover and freezing fog to start as the moisture is moved in. Just started to snow. The forecast has been upgraded for us to get a couple inches of snow.

Surprisingly, the southeastern corner of NM and Texas could get up to a foot of snow in some areas. The storm really gets bigger once it hits Texas, but mainly rain there.

The house is smelling good already.... a couple pies in the oven. Plenty of other good smelling things will follow for a few hours..... that's the hardest part.... waiting.....

A tradition is to watch the Macy's Parade, then the National Dog Show.

Everyone enjoy the time with family or just a peaceful day!

Woefully behind,

Happy Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks and retrospect. We have so many blessings.

I do read a bit each day, but it's hard to keep up.

Prayers and blessings for our team, the sick, our country, for peace on Earth.

Turkey in the roaster. Pecan crunch dessert made.

We will have 7 friends, and 6 family members join us.
Both sets of friends live in our little town have no family nearby.

Happy Thanksgiving to all GM'ers.

48F and sunny here @ 11:15, heading up to a high of around 59F.

Lost my helper for most of yesterday so I contented myself with working on mowing/leaf clean up which had to be done at some point anyways. Front lawn was done previously, so worked down around the house on sides and back:

Still some left to do on the east side lawn, so will probably head out and work on that here in a few before we depart for Thanksgiving Dinner later.

Woman did manage to make it out late in the afternoon and start trimming back the irises which She reports are looking good.

Got another layer of mud and mesh thrown on the two areas of the wall that were left to do last night after I came in, probably a couple more days left on that.

Woman now working on the green bean casserole, which will be part of our contribution to the day's vittles.

Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day ... (y)

@RedNeckGeek Thanks, I live right smack in the middle of ohio. Northern Delaware county one hour north of Columbus.
Usta be a rifle range in Delaware county where dad taught me to shoot. A big dam, too, with lots of fossils in the rocks below the dam. Rode bicycles all over there, too. Pretty place...

Morning all, was about 40 for the dog walk and going up to a magic 56 with sun.
Turkey is stuffed and in the oven.
BIL/SIL coming over later to help us eat all the food.

Took the wife out for her birthday dinner, I know a little late nut she could not decide where. So Stone house in New Hope, former church and formally owned and run by Marsha Brown.

PJS = congrats on the new job, hope it works out even better than you think, and no more swat stories!

The panels did not show up yesterday, lucky I got the number and called their dispatch. Seems the guy left the truck locked and went home sick. Dispatcher told me Friday now and would have different driver get to me as first stop. Maybe third try will work.

Did not have any time to do any panels yesterday anyway and won't do any today with company coming over.

Made the cranberry sauce. Only broccoli and biscuits still need attention.

Have a happy Thanksgiving all,
Ken

Happy Thanksgiving gang

65°F and .76 inches rain. Stormy day predicted.

Turkey all prepped, ready to go on the grill. Ham and sides will be done as the morning progresses. All to be joined by the various offerings of our guests this afternoon. This has almost always been a family day for us. Can only think of 2 times we were alone and 1 of those (2020) was the pandemic. But what a ride. From traditional family family, bus loads of ski partners in Europe, coworkers otherwise alone, to our local Ohana - we always seem to surrounded with family on Thanksgiving Day. Good food too. We are blessed.

Today also starts my 76th trip around the sun. Whodathunk. Basically healthy, no major issues, a baby aspirin a day and blessed with the love of a wonderful wife, Sophie. So much to be thankful for.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
