I had dinner set up for 6:00. Thought I had everything going on schedule until I opened the oven to put another dish in and found the oven cold. Had warmed a couple of slices of pizza for my wife and daughter earlier and must have turned the oven off out of habit when I took them out.

Made a couple of calls and found a buffet open and we ate about 7:00. Came home, finished the turkey and we will have the feast this evening.

Happy Holidays,

Kirk
 
Yep, only one other time in thirty years we lived in our house did the kitchen sink and dishwater drain clog up SOOOOOOOOOO yesterday we had 26 people here, got ready to clean up the ton of dishes AND THE KITCHEN SINK DRAIN WAS PLUGGED COMPLETELY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I already have it all totally repaired by 9 AM this morning.

It hasnt rained here in like 6 months and we planned to fire off pistols and trap shoot after dinner yeaterday POURED RAIN ALL AFTERNOON, but still like the bunch of red necks we are, we were drinking beer n shooting guns off the side porch a couple hours, the women wouldnt let the teen girls in the family go out tellin them beer n guns n all that testosterone mixed together wasnt a pretty site lol

Oh well we all had a good Thanksgiving as the family being together (all 3 our kids were here with wives n kids n boy/girl friedns etc) is what its all about.

Could have been worse. A café near me had an oven stop heating part way through cooking up a turkey.
Whole bunch of folks got sick & one old man in ill health died.
They stayed in business for a while but had to close down.
 
John, I think the problem might be with your OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on your keyboard. Might try another keyboard OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR otherwise it might be your motherboard.
 
My wife had to pick up my youngest daugter from day car tuesday because she was vomiting, sick most of the day wensday. my other daughter got sick wensday night. my wife got up thursday morning getting ready to put the turkey on and then she vomited, not on the turkey. she was sick all day. everyone getting better right, no my youngest got sick again and I was up most the night. Makes for a long day at work and just wondering when my turn is.
 
It all went OK here,but the wifes sister called from Kentucky this morning. She said all three of the boys and their wife and girlfriends were home. The daughter in laws best friend called from Cincinnati and said she just got home from work and found her husband had hung himself in a tree. So........she and Ben had to make a mad dash up to Cincinnati.
 
Went up to Mom inlaw's (nice lady)for dinner with estranged wife, sister inlaw (and 2 un-disciplined 10 year olds) I can't stand to be around for more than an hour. Listened to brother inlaw's adventures in hunting (glad he hunts in another state) for as long as it took to eat. Then came home.
 
few weeks ago we had a major drain episode from wife pouring a quart or so of cooking oil down the drain, the kitchen drain is a long run through1-1/2 pipe and goes through some concrete, so it plugged it up good, it took several attemns and lots of water everywhere, but we got it , (i thought)

well she hollers out at 9:30 am, "the sink's not draining!" oh crap i thought not again, but luckly the right sink was plugged and the left one was draining, turns out she put some leftover mashed taters in it and didn't flip the disposal on , so just a simple flip of the switch and that was that,

and my sister wrote some crap on facebook twards little brother's girlfiend,

oh ya , it rained here all day, so the kidos had to stay in all day
 
Went to youngest daughters for dinner. Getting ready to set the table she announced she didn't have any corn starch to make the gravy. I said use flour. She said she didn't know how to make it with flour. She called her mother( my x of 25 years). I made the gravy. Her mother called back later and asked her how her gravy turned out and she said it was really good, "Dad made it" and x got really mad. X lives 15 miles away. Go figger. I guess I still got it.
 
Almost a disaster. Mom and baby sister (30 something) was going to smoke a bird instead of using an oven. They let it smoke for 6 hours. Went to get it to put on table, mom was almost in tears. Bird was as black as coal. Told them to put it on a plate in front of me and let see what happens. Took big knife and fork, started cutting. Skin was only thing black. Rest was very moist and tender. Best bird they ever cooked (smoked).
 
Now Vern, John might have a keyboard like I used to have. It refused to make a "B" unless you punched it real hard, at which time it would give you a whole string of them, which was good because I could push them all along in front of me until I needed another one. When I was done, I'd just delete the unneeded ones. With that thought in mind, it might be that his "delete" key is bad. . .

Just kidding, John

Had great Thanksgiving. All the kids and grandkids came home for 2-3 days. They ate and drank us out of house & home. Played cards for hours, told lies, teased each other and Mom & me forever. We got some great family pics and hauled enough wood to the house to last until February. The last of them leave tomorrow morning and I'm ready for a NAP!
 
Yeah John - those quirks are interesting, and I guess they can't be helped. I have a friend who will make a statement, then end his sentence with the word "Hah?" which is his version of how I would say "Huh?". For instance, "It sure is a pretty day today, hah??" OK, then if I'm in agreement with him, I'll respond with, "Yeah." at which he'll repeat, "Hah?" and I'll repeat "Yeah." This will go on, rapid fire, until I just finally stop and stare at him. I don't know if he's messing with me or what. . .

Hah?
Yeah
Hah?
Yeah
Hah?
YEAH!
Hah?
YEAH!!!
Hah??
Silence. . .

You know what I mean, hah??

I also HATE the hunting stories. I think I am the only male in a 25 square mile area that doesn't live to go hunting. Nothing against those that do, just never enjoyed doing it. And then to listen to an hour story about how they snuck up on a deer that probably only took 15 minutes......
 
I understood that you are a EE but now it appears that you are a quantriple E. OOOOOOK I'm going back to a looooooow prooooooofile now.
 
Disaster averted.

Great dinner, everybody having a great time. I have one BIL that I can scarcely tolerate when I'm well, and I wasn't well (dandy of a cold and fever)- so when he started his usual rant about the interlocking conspiracies of corporate Amerika, I just smiled and said, "I must be sicker than I thought- can't even think well enough to argue with you," and I went to bed (about 6:30). He was obviously disappointed. Only bad thing was, I missed out on the pie. Oh, well, didn't need it anyhow!
