Hello all, just got back from my churches' monthly men's breakfast. Tomorrow, after 2nd service we set up for our feast. Several events this weekend and throughout the week. I expect to add a few lbs. to prepare for Winter, don't you know.

We got some rain here in the Sacramento Valley. That, and the wind, have knocked most of the tree leaves to the ground. Several homes have Chinese Maple trees that have left their multi-colored stars overlying everything. Beautiful.

Best wishes for the season everyone. ::: Lifts huge mug of hot chocolate skyward. "Salute." :::

Hi Lucky, it sounds like good times at the Morris.
:coffee:

Hey there Oldguy! Good to see you stopping in.

It looks like those street decorations are happy to see ya tatonka!

..and a Sunday morning cartoon, thanks yg.

Well, it's warmer here, but rain is coming up from the south. I was able to get some tree work done yesterday, and cleaned most of the gutters, all except for the tricky one where the ground slopes away. I have devised a way to rope the ladder off for that one, but it has to be retied repeatedly, in arms length increments, as I work my way down the whole length of the building. I'm thinking that can wait.

Good to hear that Elorrum made it safely to Delle and Ken's place! Woohoo!

Coffee seems to be doing the trick today (thank god!)
All is good hereabouts, looking forward to 4 days with no overtime and a visit to the Chihuly show in Denver.

Healthy twangs of jealous here, as MDF starts her Elorrum visit. 3 days was just too short.

AWESOME. That's what she is. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

And just off-the-charts delightful.

We both missed you the second we lost sight of you, and can't wait to see you again, buddy. It was really fabulous getting to know you so much better.

THANK YOU for including us in your adventure.

Aww...Thanksgiving with MDF sounds great! Nice to hear you are progressing safely across the continent.

I am off work for FIVE DAYS!!! Attending the annual Island of Misfit Toys Thanksgiving - always a lot of food and fun.

Hope all of the travelers have safe excursions and all of the stay at homers enjoy the day.

On the way thru the booze shelf, she leaves a box of some random wine with a spigot under the bar shelf. Walking (and this is a loose term) she shakes out the NEB and pats down the couch. Leaving the place looking like a dirt storm just came through, she chuckles to herself.>

I'm getting really festy on FB with this wine. I'll have to keep this on the list of things to do when feeling feisty.

Morning to the bar! Add good to that imperative. Delle and Kenny, buckets of gratitude for your grace and generosity and ease as hosts. Amidst another generous group here in MD, with My Dear Friend's family. Enjoying the atmosphere of the build towards feast with the familiar but family specific jokes and rhythms.

Good Morning Dear All !

So glad to hear from you Elorrum .

On Saturday I spoke with some of the important persons who have issues with the way of this world of ours
I continually escaped toward music and dance therapy


And after I figure out how to do my part of the Tday..
gluten free gravy and chocolate deserts and cohesive positive energy for the event ;
I am going to change.

Mornin all!
Shaping up to be a beautiful day in Nevada. Right now its about 36 but its forcasted to be in the high 60s, I'm hoping for the 70s.
First day of my six day weekend. Gotta go to Carson City to pay my co-pay to my skin doctor. Snoop around Lowes and Sportsmans Warehouse. Get home and change my oil in my truck, rake leaves and mulch them into the grass. Watch Lynyrd Skynyrd videos that Rhino posted.
Hope everybody has a nice day

Thanksgiving is when the natives of the lands to the west..

Gave food and shelter to the illegal alien from europe..

Black Friday is for the day the illegal alien killed the native for giving them food.
