Yeah, if it would just stop raining, I'd be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Its Texas lol, we have snow going on in the other half of the state.

Thanks for the turkey day best wishes. I got a 20 lb bird in the fridge thawing out, made a batch of beef jerkey for guests to snack on. We are doing a pot luck this year at our place. about 15-20 guests expected. should be a proper feast when its all in place. Dressing, casseroles, cakes, pies, mashed potatoes, gravy...

It will be good to sit together friends and family, think about all that we have to be grateful for, enjoy our meal, and relax with a football game on TV, a good glass of something on the rocks and the aroma of cigars.

Truly a great time of year

It sleeted here most of the day.

Made for a miserable evening out deer hunting.

This deer season was a bust for a lot of people because of the rapid change in weather. Not many deer were taken this year, seems like.

Anyway, Thanksgiving had a wet towel thrown over it for me this year. Usually we go across the state to stay with grandparents and see the family but we're not this year. This is the first Thanksgiving I've ever spent at home.

Probably spend it sleeping and duck hunting.

Thank the natives

For saving the Pilgrims from starvation.

I bet they rue that random act of kindness to this day.

Enjoy your feast y'all.

They felt guilty for wiping out the Jamestown colony.

One of the last of the automatics that could be 'bump started', wasn't it?

Some of the mid 60's models would start if you towed them up to speed.
I remember doing that with my Dad when I was just off the tit.


Was a Cold winter day and I remember that as the earliest time doing Car stuff with my Dad.
