Good morning!!!!

[MossflowerWoods]

It is 55 degrees here. My 2 year old was running around on the porch in a t-shirt and lightweight pants yesterday.

I hear this weird warm spell is confusing the deer, not that I can go hunting though... I am going to take my daughter out a couple times with an open sights 20 ga and pray hard (she has shot it one time). Maybe she will get lucky...

If it does not rain, I will go up to the pasture area and grapple some walnut limbs and tops to my firewood cutting pile. I also need to one handed load my truck with all the stuff he cut for me yesterday (and there is quite a bit of that!).

Thanksgiving dinner is out at a restaurant this year (I hate that) so the good news is I'm not a whirling dervish assistant housecleaner in prep for T-Day... Plus my BIL's step-Dad died last week. So they are in Oregon for funeral and in process of moving back there to care for his mother. Right thing to do (Family comes first), but seperating my wife and her sister by 3,000+ miles stinks.

The next two days of work should be quiet (as was yesterday). That is nice.

Be well all TBN'ers. I love you guys.

Coffee pot is on. 29 degrees. Heading to 44 with rain later today. Cannot believe the string of good weather fall days we have had. Installing LED ROP lights today.
Good Morning All.

Pictures when she's done!

Love You Giz!

That is an AWESOME Invite! I would LOVE to come visit!:thumbsup: You can come over and eat anytime. Just call when you leave and give me an ETA...



Dinner out is her Mom's idea of taking it easy on all of the family as each leg of the family has had a HARD year in some fashion. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time in over 20 years.

I own the biggest house so I almost ALWAYS hosted TurkeyDay, but I rented it out (which is a blessing).

I LOVE Thanksgiving because I came to realize it is the least commercial and the most NEEDED. I spent too much of my life focused on the negative, and ungrateful for all of my Blessings. I tried hard to chnge that about 20 years ago and I'm happier and a much better person (I believe) than I used to be.

She has promised me at LEAST one home cooked Turkey Dinner this weekend though, so there is some goodness in all this. My biggest concern there is do I want to smoke it in my wood fired smoker, or do I want to try out the new convection oven? Decisions...

Mom knows I'm a history buff, so we will be at some awesome place in Charlottesville VA, LOADED with History. It will of course be great, and I am just a grumpy old man stick in the mud cheapskate for not wanting to go out to dinner...

Good morning to all. It is 35 and their calling for 1.5 inches of rain later today I need some of that dry Michigan weather. I've been wanting to use the tractor to clean up some burn piles, but its just been too wet.

Don't feel bad, I think I did the same thing or a least close. What I thought mattered, didn't and doesn't seem to matter any more and I am happier.

Good morning!! Gonna start the coffee in a few. I have to go to Home Depot this am. Lots of things to work on this coming year.

Good morning, guys...28 here right now. About being thankful, I think a lot of us, at least when we were younger, were more focused on getting stuff than appreciating what we already had.

I have to go to Home Depot this am.

Seems to be where my wife and I hang out on Sundays. Funny how we can go to HD not needing a thing and come home with stuff. Go to HD needing something and they don't have it and come home with nothing.:confused2:
