Actual is orangier (and pumpkinier) than I expected, but still extremely tasty.

Followed by impromptu pub stop and "lunch" with campmates...

Yep, he's taking on a lot for a first time burner, at any rate I wish him well. At least he's getting advice from some of the best builders around here.

*pours a cup*
Actually I guess it is more of a 'sliding compound mitre saw'. I use it mostly to cut lumber at a true 90°, or whatever angle I need, but it is always kind of a hassle to set it up, get the lumber level and square with it, etc. So I'm finally building a dedicated bench with a backstop lined up to it and all. Handy for projects and art and such.
Maybe I'll take a couple photos and pop them into the WIP thread.
Yay for birds thawing out for dinner!

Re: The Bar, Volume #4
From: " HAPPY THANKSGIVING
a tale of the time
BAD PARROT
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad
attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude.
John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.
I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly,
"Might I inquire as to the transgression of the turkey?"
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: The Bar, Volume #4
Ladies, Gentlemen, Bunnies and Unicorns. I have good news after 2 full days of phone calls i know have my tools back, many thanks to Dave for nagging me to phone every half hour, Mike for driving me 170 mile round trip (without the company knowing) and you lot for encouraging me not to give up. However ym mobile has been disconnected because i haven't topped it up in some time, so now i need to work out a way to correct that minor flaw, which is a lot easier to do in Britain than america!
Hurrah, lets have a drink (now where the is the good stuff?)
ETA : HAPPY THANKGSIVING I REALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR TODAY (plus i have my receipts and invoices now)
