Howdy, Conor! (((hugs)))

Good to see you, too. Have you started prepping that humongous turkey yet? :)

[E.G.C.]

My sister and her husband are coming down tomorrow from the city with turkey and dressing for a one day visit. Plan on spending Thanksgiving with friends here on the computer.

[luvie]

That is very sweet of them to share their Thanksgiving “fixin’s” with you (and Bo)! Enjoy your visit and the day! I’m sure there will be lots of us here at sometime during the day on Thanksgiving day! :)

Howz it going out your way?

True story. Some 26 years ago, the Mrs. and I visted Mt. Rushmore (the major attraction closest to Ellsworth AFB) with our four month old baby daughter in tow. It was New Year's Day 1986. It was 56 degrees and I did wear shorts just for fun and a photo op.

First of all, you need a medal for going to a major attraction with a four-month old in tow.

Second, where's this photo op picture? Got to post pictures around here. LOL

Good morning CMN ((HUGS))

All ready for Thanksgiving?

[beachn4fun]

I’m guessing that things are gonna start smelling good around there before too long! :)

I can smell it already.

[luvie]

Beginning to taste good, too! :)

[E.G.C.]

Going OK. Just got back from a doctor visit. Got a clean bill of health. Next appointment next year.

The smell of the brine is permeating the entire house. I started it just after noon and am letting it cool. Will pour it into the cooler later.

The B 29 looks so huge in pictures and in the 40’s it was. Along side the 52’s it looks so small

[South Dakota]

I came down from North Dakota to visit my Daughter ans Son for Thanksgiving. My Daughter lives in Box Elder and the B1s are practicing touch and go’s. Years ago when the BUFFs were here it was so tremendous. To watch and hear their touch and go’s. I’m still amazed that something so big could fly so slow just above our heads

If it has survived all our moves, it is probably packed deep in the bowels of some box somewhere. Winter is actually a fairly good time to visit Rushmore. The normal tourist crowd won’t go anywhere near the Dakotas at that time.
