It was very nice of you to donate a Thanksgiving meal, and as far as yourself having pumpkin pie, that's the best part of the meal anyway! Hope you are getting some snow and starting to whistle a Christmas carol or two!

Didn't care for the crowds tho... Food was fantastic. And I put a big dent in the Engineers liquor locker.

Too bad you can't take a chain saw to those spruce trees on the south side, then you could get some sunrise as early as 10:00 like I do.. 3 more weeks and the days will get longer again. How was the pumpkin pie? I grew 3 big pumpkins this year, decided to make a pie from scratch. Turned out Great. I grew the pumpkins out of an old tire filled with 50-50 dirt and compost.. keep warm.

Good deal on the grinder. A grinder is a must around home. Your are one smart cookie to come up with that idea for a roof rack for lumber. I hope it works good for you. Sorry you missed your New York strips from the freezer. I'm sure they will be good another day. That pumpkin pie looks good and yes I ate to much pie the other day too...lol.<br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645417159193407561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878424457397188704.post-81731758708950882602014-11-28T22:26:14.399-09:002014-11-28T22:26:14.399-09:00I like that roof rack as well.

I just would not make it up there. Bad enough around here with sunrise at 7:00am and sun set at 4:00pm I do like the roof rack clamp system.
