Turkey is finally thawed and brining in a bag. I have everything I need to put it on the pellet grill, probably Sunday. I have to say I am a bit disappointed though with the turkey. Why in all that is holy, would a company put one third of a gizzard in the paper wrap stuff into the turkey. I feel I should have a full gizzard, a heart, and a liver in there. No giblets! If there were any justice in the world the CEO of Jenny O would be bent over an exam table in an ER somewhere with the on duty Doctor trying to extract a turkey neck from his nether regions.
I just e-mailed Hormel, Jenny-O's corporate owner. I did not mention turkey neck sodomy in my e-mail. While satisfying, it would perhaps, have been counter productive.

Just got done ordering the final needs to load 9mm in cast.
Anyone used FS supply? They have been around a bit so I figure they must be safe.
I got myself an old school lee .356 sizer on order from them.
They had 2 left.
Had to order from a couple sources but I should be ready to fly by Christmas. I spent almost as much on shipping as I did stuff. Would have ordered from one place but I. This day and age guess you got to get it when and where you can.
I only had 200 spps back so... Local gun shop had 500 Winchester spp in stock, gave him my credit card over the phone. Bought 200 picking them up later. 12 cent a primer. Oh well!
That's ok I load those 400 rounds, I will be breaking even for my supplies with the cost of today's brass case FMJ.

Same here! Slow cooking all day makes it smell like Thanksgiving Day all over again.
Son stopped over around 2 pm today Looking hungry for more turkey.....Made him a big 12" skillet meal of light & dark meat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and a pile of gravy over the whole thing! I put a bit of water in the pan for steam and a lid to cover it!
One of our favorite ways to make the next day Turkey dinner from the leftovers!! The bit of steam heats the meal up fast and everything stays moist Almost as good as the day before...well almost!

Spent last weekend gluing and sanding and Monday and Tuesday painting the dozen shelves for our shelf units. Switched to latex, I used a quick drying exterior grade so I could put three coats on in one day. This photo shows them laying on every surface in the shop. (If you count 14 that's because I cut two shelves in half.)
Wednesday I put the shelves on the units and moved the units into place. The unit shown here is for the manual knee mill and little drill press. Had a plumber come in Monday to extend the air line 24" to the right so it wouldn't be behind the unit. We'll never put anything in front of the breaker box so putting the end of the air line under it seems safe.
This is the other unit by the Haas TM1. We will put everything we need to set up and use the CNC mill on it. The goal is to get the most frequenty used things within 2-3 steps of where they are needed.
Went in today for a couple hours and swept up, put away tools, etc.
Had a nice supper last night, the wife made a turkey roast, green bean casserole, and corn bread dressing, with spiced apple rings for dessert. Just the two of us, satisfying w/o overeating and feeling bloated. Got enough leftovers for about 3-4 more meals just like it which suits me just fine.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

hey Ross.
i got 3 bags of giblets [yeah Jenny-O] took me forever to find the neck though.
it was jammed down against the back and frozen in place.
i also got about 3-4 cups of water out of a smaller 14 lb. bird, didn't seem to affect the bird too much though, but i was taking the breast off and steaming it, and smoking the rest anyway.

i swear they are using some sort of over pressurized machinery to flick flack them poor birds down the line.
i've been to a turkey processing plant and in the homes of people that work at one,, that smell never leaves your memory [or your house] so i can't say i blame them if they do.

SIL wants lake for BS training, canoe, shooting, fishing, camping, etc. Shallow for safety. Rest will be pine forest, plant in Jan? Says he won't hunt it till maybe next year(darn). By the way, how did you hold those logs together in your shooting pit? He's thinking RR ties but got lots of decent logs that would be cheaper. I try to help him but body is wearing down fast.

Spent a good amount of time trying to remember all the what was it I was doing stuff before I got interrupted by other stuff that someone told me needed doing right now. Stowed the Thanksgiving decorations that someone had displayed all about the house.
My son-in-law gave me a corded oscillating saw (he went cordless), so I searched all the things it can do that I didn't know I wasn't doing, wasn't doing efficiently enough, or didn't know I needed to do, and the different kinds of blades that are available to do all those things.
With Christmas upcoming, I'm wondering if I really need to replace the old cordless circular saw. How many times a year do I use it? How difficult is it to uncoil an extension cord and use the corded one?

I really like cordless tools. In particular Milwaukee's M18 brushless series. I scored a Black Friday deal that cannot be beat today. I found a Milwaukee M18 cordless angle grinder on sale at Home Depot for 79 bucks, (regular price 119). Paid for it on line arranged for in store pickup. Got there and they could not find one. I had driven to Madison, in occupied territory ,against my better judgement. They apologized profusely and explained that the East side store had one and they were holding it for me.
Enroute to the East side store a car pulled up behind me as I sat at a red light and the driver laid on the horn in a continuous blast. Unaware of any traffic faux pas I may have committed, and being a bit over aggressive, I exited my car with a smile on my face and my hands in plain sight to ascertain just what the issue was. An attractive black young woman about 30 rolled her window down and began screaming at me, calling me an "ignorant motherf.... " and "what da f... it da matter wid chu?" I translated that in English and she began screaming about trying to get to the hospital with a child having an asthma attack and, "why can't chu get da fu.. outa da way? Other nearby drivers were staring at the young woman as I apologized for being in her way and got back into my car and now drove through the green light. I could not figure out how to get out of this person's way as she tail gated me about 18" off my bumper. Finally she roared around me in a no passing zone, passed the next three vehicles into oncoming traffic and disappeared. It would have helped had the driver activated her emergency flashers and perhaps been a bit more rational, however the stress of having a sick child may have been too much for her.
Now I was questioning even more my decision to enter the communist dominated County of Dane, but in for a penny and all that, I continued on to the Home Depot East. They knocked an additional 15 dollars off the angle grinder for my inconvenience and that mollified me somewhat. My decision to carry a 642 and a beaver tail sap on my trip into urban hell seemed to have been ratified. I'll think three times about returning to the land of political insanity though in the future. I can abide only so many Prius's and green Subaru Foresters in any one annual cycle.
Oh yeah, the cordless angle grinder, 67 bucks and we were also able to buy white subway tiles and grout to finish the utility room "kitchen" area. Should be able to wipe fish scales and deer blood off the walls easily.
This 105 proof barrel strength Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon is burnishing the edges of a difficult day.

Recently bought stainless meat blades for my reciprocating saw so that I can cut frozen 10 lb chubs of ground beef into 1 lb chunks.

Me, too. I just don't know about the "need" to replace the existing one.
And, yes, Milwaukee M18 are the way to go. Last Christmas I gave myself an M18 drill/impact driver/
2 batteries/charger/tool bag set. Recently, an M18 leaf blower replace the old gas one. It came with an 8ah battery and a rapid charger. Man, that battery is downright spiffy.

L Ross,
By the time I left law enforcement, most of the kids entering didn't know that the narrow, deep pockets below your back pockets on your uniform pants were originally sap pockets before they started being used to hold a Maglite.
