Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

I prepared the entire Thanksgiving meal myself this year, since my wife has continued to need to stay with her mom.

 

[Thomas]

Your daughter has cooking style Kyle.

33 outside right now, heading to mid 50's.

More wood cutting and splitting on the agenda today. I have some helpers here with stronger backs.

The pasture tree needs its top moved to the burn pile, and the cut wood split and stored away.

Shame, it was a pretty tree.

More family rolling in this weekend. The rest are in Florida and are staying there until sometime next month.

Hope all have a great day, be safe. Those shopping, good luck.

44º going to 64º There will be AM clouds with a slight chance of rain. In recovery mode from too much food, drink, and company. lol
Still on restriction from the eye surgery but I can putter around. Probably catch up on some work that didn't get done this week. Then a relaxing weekend of tinkering.
Hope you all had a great turkey day

Good morning! 38˚F, south breeze becoming an East breeze, skies clearing, high in the mid 60s.

We had a fine time at Wife's family Thanksgiving gathering down South. Three hours driving there. Three hours visiting. Three hours driving back made for a long day. Surprisingly traffic on the NAV route was light and fuel was cheap - easily found less than $2.50 a gallon (Costco & Buck-ee's). We took stuffed butternut squash with cranberry/apricot sauce and lemon cookies, all excellent.

Kyle hope your Mother is doing better, but you might want to stay away from a high fat meal. There is a reason why holidays are the #1 time that people with heart problems end up in the emergency room.

Back to work today doing extensive physical therapy on the knee and legs and thankful I'm not in the position that one of the people missing from the gathering yesterday is in. Before he can do knee surgery he has to do hip surgery, and before he can do hip surgery he has to loose weight and he is taking PT in a pool once a week to loose weight. Is that enough? I don't know but he is worse off than he was five years ago when he was at least able to come and sit at his friend's family gatherings.

Good morning, the low is 5 and the high to 19°F. No wind. Sunny! Cool!

Went to bed at midnight and that is probably why I am up so late today. Stove was out. I have oil heat as well and the temperature never gets below 73°F in here, unless the lights go out overnight. That has not happened in the 29.5 years we've been here. Touch wood.

After the crap I've pulled over my lifetime, I am thankful every day that I am still above the ground. The alternative doesn't look too attractive to me right now.

Have a safe day all

 

[scootr]

Take care of your health. Without that we have nothing. I have to get back to some daily exercise regime. My daily activity is okay but not sustaining muscle and flexibility like I should.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).
36.1 F May hit the 60s, sunny day forecasted.

both dogs were ecstatic to get up to the woodlot for their first walk in over a week. Harry was howling his way up the mountain, but he wasn’t pulling my arm out of the socket — probably because when he was getting too tractor I gave him a little buzz on the e-collar…


Dinner out with mom & Mrs was excellent, no meas or cleanup or dogs all up in our faces with dinner at home . No leftovers either, but this week I will roast a Turkey so we will have leftovers all next week!



Today’s previously-scheduled activities are to go to woodlot sans dogs and put Mrs on the wood splitter while I mill some more boards for the cabin. depending on how quickly we work up there will decide if we unload and stack firewood at the house later today or wait until tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

What’s the old saying?

If I knew I was gonna last this long, i’d’ve taken better care of myself!

Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 28 to start going to 43 !

Should be leaving for Vt sometime this morning! Looks like a good day to travel, sunny with no wind. Kathleen has been sick with a bad cold, so we are not moving to fast this morning !

Don, I totally agree on the no pain no gain mentality on PT ! Kidding you of course ! Don, nice on the $2.50 gas price ! The best I have done in Ct is $3.09 at Cumberland Farms, and that was with the SmartPay card !

Enjoyed seeing all the food and desert pictures this morning but honestly still not hungry yet !

Time to start loading my pickup with things for the trip north !
Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Good Morning
39, partly cloudy and a high of 45 today.

Wednesday evening was in front of the fire watching Jack Ryan.

Thursday started early, I fired up the smoker to get the spatchcocked turkeys in it for my friend.

Once they were going, it was time to start crumbling and browning the Italian sausage for making stuffing. My wife bought a 22lb fresh turkey for 7 adults. Needless to say, everyone went home with containers of leftovers. And I’ll be eating turkey sandwiches for quite a while.

Daughter had to work, but I helped her to cook her first turkeys which she took to the ER where they had a staff Thanksgiving dinner with everyone bringing something. She said that it went well.

Not much planned for today, but it seems like I rarely need a plan to stay busy.

 

[KilroyJC]

Back when we still lived in NJ and would host large-ish holiday dinners (TG/Xmas/NYD/Easter), we would, the day before, cook an entire duplicate of the meal, and pre-package all the “leftovers” to send home with the guests. It ensured everyone got what they wanted, and also ensured that when it was time for guests to GO HOME ALREADY it was a smooth and rapid process

The only exception was the Prime Rib Roast on New Year’s Day — we would make all the sides for “leftovers” but the roast would be carved and packaged at the same time it was being plated in the kitchen.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning! Low of 22°, heading towards 38°, light snow expected by this afternoon, about 3-4" predicted.

Dinner was very good, no calamities, everyone stuffed. Leftovers divided up. All good. Shooed the son and GS's out around 7.... time for peace and quiet.

Did get all the construction debris loaded in the truck. Then got a little bit of the gravel spread out on the walkway, but only on the disturbed area so we don't track mud into the house.

Dump run this morning, then more gravel spreading. Only about a 16' x 5' area to finish. Then might start to organize the material (Old front deck and roof) to be reused to extend the back deck. Depending on when the snow arrives.......

Sounds like everyone had a great time with family and friends yesterday.

Kyle, hope your mom is doing better. That turkey pastry is amazing.... looks delicious too!

Wng, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 45 years is a milestone.

Don, lots of driving in a day. Hope PT goes well today.

Drew, have a safe trip back home.

Gonna get moving.... everyone have a great day!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

I surprised myself the day before Thanksgiving... stepped on the scale for the first time in months.....

I was "stuck" for a few months at the 200 lb. mark.... just couldn't get below that after loosing 50 lbs.
WooHoo! 189.6 lbs was the winner!

Curiosity got me this morning...... stepped on the scale --- 188.2 lbs.... after eating all the good stuff yesterday?
Not complaining at all. Hopefully the trend will continue....

Good morning, 49 going up to 51 and cloudy, temps will start dropping in the next few days.
Got the Turkey, Mashed potatoes and stuffing done and came out perfect.
My sugar free apple pie was really good.
Today BIL and wife come over for the day and have more turkey and will make a big dish of baked brussel sprouts.

Son off to black Friday shopping with friends and will be back latter for dinner.

Brother still not back to 100% so he goes in for more stress tests next week.

I am still nauseous all the time, but the pills help and was able to eat turkey, stuffing and a small amount of mashed potatoes without losing it. Definitely am improvement.

Nephew got a promotion and niece is doing well.

Be well,
