Happy Thankgiving

[K4PIH]

I wishyou all a Happy Thanksgiving. No matter political views, ethnic origin, nor religion. I want you all to eat way too much, enjoy some spirits, watch TV all day sitting on your butt, and most importantly take naps at the appropiate time!

Was all set for having a hamburger for dinner as I'm in the big truck at our terminal in Mankato. Wouldn't ya know it, the terminal personell brought all the drivers stuck at the terminal a REAL thanksgiving dinner prepped by themselves! No takeout or any mass produced junk. Real turkey, homemade mashed taters, punkin pie, apple fritters, stuffing. The whole nine yards!

Just when I'm ticked off at this place enough to quit, they do nice things like this to me. Grrrrr. Lol

no turkey today, not even aboard the airplane. about 100 mins away from JFK at the moment.

We had a great Thanksgiving at my inlaws. My wife and I did the cooking. We eat turkey year round. Stock up on 39 cents a pound frozen turkeys.

Kudos and attaboys (or attagirls as appropriate) to the terminal staff for going well over and above the strict call of duty!

My mother-in-law was not happy that our son and his family didn't come. Now he had explained to her that his wife's sister was coming up from Northern VA, and since she is about the only family my daughter-in-law has left, it was going to be just them this year. No, that wasn't good enough. He should have come anyway, the nerve.

If you get the impression they're not exactly getting along at the moment, our son and my m-i-l, you've got it exactly right.

My mother-in-law also complained about how hard all the work is, getting the meal ready, cleaning the house, my father-in-laws knees... well, they are both in their 80's. So after dinner, the Boss offered to take over the family T-day dinner, and have it at our place, so that after something like 50 or more years, they got a break. Nope! Not an option. We live too far away!

We live 6.4 miles away, according to the odometer.

But, the Boss can come over next year, and cook the turkey in M-I-L's kitchen, under her supervision.

Maybe next year the son will invite us...

The oven on the boat isn't large enough to cook a turkey so I grilled a small pork tenderloin instead. I did bake a yam/sweet potato to have with it, and made a salad.

I have usually been the captain of Thanksgiving because I'm a better cook than the XXYL, so this was the lowest-stress T-day dinner I've had in the last couple of decades.

I waited a day. Sorry to be a bummer.

While I like the food, and the get togethers, it has always been troubling.


Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for — annually, not oftener — if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months instead of getting exterminated by their neighbors, the Indians. Thanksgiving Day became a habit, for the reason that in the course of time, as the years drifted on, it was perceived that the exterminating had ceased to be mutual and was all on the white man’s side, consequently on the Lord’s side; hence it was proper to thank the Lord for it and extend the usual annual compliments. --Mark Twain

My wife would not let me butcher the turkey that we raised so now it has become a pet and we got a turkey from the store.

I was away yesterday so happy belated thanksgiving. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves and ate well!

Sorry I missed the boat yesterday to turkey bay but I had my hands full with everything around here that passes for life. Discovered I need to put one leg of the OCF back up, silly wind. Maybe today since the monsoon is past.

Glad to see Brians people treat him and his fellow drivers like family instead of fodder, kudos to the terminal staff for thinking beyond the buck. Roll safe driver, your work is appreciated.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all that observe such a thing. Hope time with family was good (sorry Ron, hopefully next year). We are both too sick to venture past the threshhold, but I kinda liked it being just the two of us this time around.


Better get on it, only a couple hours useable daylight left and it will take me a fair amount of time to hurl that 8oz lead ball back into the tree. 73


On edit: Got the wire back up, even if it's a little droopy. RBN shows hits into UT & NV. Kinda weak too, oh well. Time to devise a new antenna strategy.

Thanks! I may gripe aboit them occasionally but this company is about the best there is. Been here 16.5 years. They do a lot for the drivers that other companies just don't do. Its the small stuff that counts and keeps me here. Forgot to add Happy Thanksgiving (now belated) to yesterdays post.

If it weren't for my health I would love to go back OTR. Not gonna happen though. So, stuck in college it is!
