Sad day in middle-of-nowhere Iowa. There's a 7 mile stretch of highway on my 15 mile commute to work, where I've never once seen a police car checking for speeders. Today, I saw 2 different cars pulled over in 2 separate spots on that 7 mile stretch. No more speeding to and from work.

They're just testing stubbornness.

I light my fire pit by dipping dryer lint in Vaseline and sticking it to Fat Wood kindling and lighting it. It's cheating, I know, but wicked fast.
These are the only ones I eat. We have a number of Hmong at work. This guy’s wife will make a couple hundred at a time and bring them up for lunch. Even the sause is from scratch.
I fell a tree that was leaning towards the road (liability). Tree is a good medium sized Water Oak. Took her out and hauled away everything to his ranch in 2 1/2 hours. Thank God its not Summer!
Tree cut up was 2 stuffed 20ft. trailer loads! Much bigger than she looks! Will recount rings tomorrow but it's 22 years old minimum.

Cooking a 12 pound turkey today. The first time I've ever cooked a whole bird. Stuffed with Bell's stuffing with onions and celery added. Going to in-laws for dinner tomorrow so this'll give me leftovers for the week.

Went down under my studio where I stashed all the offcuts from the building projects over the years. Filled a wheelbarrow with rough sawn 1" white pine and maple offcuts 4 and 5 ft long. Wheeled into the building to the bandsaw. Crosscut all about 12" long. Got out the froe and mallet and split all into kindling. I'm half way done.
Just got the very unexpected news the Camaro is 4200 Status (Vehicle Shipped)! I’m freaking out as it’s so post to be here the 28th!!! Gonna hammer that garage stuff to the storage unit now!!!! Was so post to be early/mid December with the plant shutdown delay 😬

So, we had nine guests yesterday and opted to use regular plates, cups, and silverware so I'm looking forward to getting everything cleaned up so I can have an HVC Black Friday cigar later.

I had to do dishes at 2 house. My grandma wouldn't drive so we made a full meal and brought it there. Did her dishes before we left and got home and wife made it very clear I was to clean up at home because she cooked it all..allll daaay so the least I could do was blah blah you know..
It was all made worse by my chapped, cracked hands which are on fire due to washing and I think a reaction to one of the hand soaps in the house. Dishes done, we'll see if I catch hell for not wiping down the counters, I'm having a Black Friday!

^^^ Wouldn’t it have been more efficient to go get Grandma and bring her to dinner? I know gas is spendy and there would have been an extra round trip involved, but you coulda used “i gotta take Grandma home” to avoid the washing up, Not to mention taking the long way home to enjoy a post prandial cigar. Worthwhile trade, methinks…. 😂😂😂
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

Hopefully you scored some points there, Jim.
Finished the dishes and enjoying a HVC Black Friday, but the Wife is telling me that they're ready to go to Santa Cruz on a Monarch Butterfly expedition and how long does a cigar take to smoke anyway. Sheesh, she's harshing my enjoyment of this great cigar.

Lighting a fire is lighting a fire...easier the better. Nobody says it has to be hard. Keep cheating.

Homemade egg rolls
I've never had an egg roll that didn't taste freezer burned. Jealous.
