May you and your families all be blessed with happiness and good times today.
Worked all morning supervising my wife and talking her through the making of two Omega awnings today. I am so thankful I have a wife who can sew on an industrial. :)
Today is dinner with the Canadian Doctor and his wife. Great food and lots to eat. :)

QuoteToday is dinner with the Canadian Doctor and his wife.
Did they do anything on Oct.13th ? or are they doing the "when in Rome" thing while they're down there?
They have a big family celebration at their home in Ontario during the Cannuck Turkey Day. This year they celebrated the Canada Thanksgiving at their sons home on some big Lake near Toronto. I cannot pronounce the name ( It starts with an M I believe ). Very well known resort lake there.
They show up here at the end of October and then repeat the holiday again with us. Since they live with us during the winter in the Bus they also celebrate Christmas and Easter with us.
The Doc and Mary are an extension of our family. He is a brilliant ICU spet and looks after me in the winter time. They are essentially like an Aunt and Uncle to us. Love them to pieces.

Visiting my daughter and her family. Despite the snow and wind, I managed this hickory smoked beauty

It's always a beautiful day. That little girl was wrong. The sun will not come out tomorrow. It is already out, right now, this moment. Even if it's nighttime.
QuoteGod bless us all, every one.
There's always at least one person who can't wait until after Thanksgiving to start up with the Christmas stuff. :)
I live in the greatest country this planet has ever seen. It is mind boggling to think about how awesome life is.
The life expectancy in 1900 was 47. In 2012 it was 78.8.
Keith, is that the Dark Cherry Lacquar toner that you used on that turkey? ;D It does look delicious.
Happy Thanksgiving,

Later feasted with my brother at a turkey buffett dinner
QuoteI took the top down and went to breakfast early
I plugged the van in because I didn't know if the truck would start at -27 C or roughly 10 below.
QuoteThen I came back and painted my boat hull
What do you use to paint 'glass hulls? I've always been told you have to spray them out with gel-coat and then wet sand them to about 7-800 grit.

Thursday was spent at our future in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner. Awesome food. My daughter's wonderful boyfriend comes with a wonderful family.
Friday I worked all day without the phone ringing once. Well, only once. My wife wanted to know if I fed the dog before I left for work. I love these kinds of days.
Today, Saturday, a few hours of work this morning and then later on our own Thanksgiving dinner here at home.
I'm sending out gravy smelling positive vibes into the cosmos.

me I did a little reoair work at the shop it was to cold for me and breezy to pattern some pontoon seat cover so I did that this morning when it was warmer
Got one seam in a pair of pants pinned on Thursday and the rest of the day was spent with family, eating fabulous food and laughing and laughing and laughing. ; ) It was great. Had a hard time getting in the swing of things on Friday but did get a little done. Not as much as I wanted to but I desperately needed a new pair of tennis shoes. I had literally walked a hole in the sole of one shoe so I caught a black Friday special and got a new pair for $35.00.
I've been rocking yesterday and today. I've gotten more done in these two days than all of last week. I've been humping trying to get alterations out of the way so I can concentrate on upholstery. Came pretty close to it. I have half of two zippers and two minor dress alterations but otherwise I'm rocking and rolling on office chairs and channel back furniture.
Hope I can keep the new week moving like the last two days. I love being so productive!
