Happy Thanksgiving, gang.
Rainy, windy, and cold for this Thanksgiving Day. Rain outside my window and 34 degrees. The temperature is supposed to fall to 30 by this afternoon so it could make for some nasty travel. The rain is supposed to turn to sleet followed by snow. I'm sure that is exactly what will happen since it has the blessings of the government. Just as yesterday's high was supposed to be in the low 40s. Actual high for yesterday was 55. I was able to get a lot of last minute stuff done in the yard and spent as much time as I could outside.
One of my daughters lives out of town but works retail here so she has made a room reservation for tonight. She works until 9:30 tonight and has to be back to work in the morning at 5:30.
Charlie - thanks for the links. I keep all such articles handy as I'm the guy who gets the phone call from family and friends when something goes wrong. So even though I've been retired for 10 years I still have to keep up with developments in my field.
I did get the inner tube changed on the snow blower. I'll be checking in a few days to make sure it's working and that I didn't screw something up.
No major plans for today other than reading the newspaper and the ads. My paper was delivered at 10:30 last night. It's a little disconcerting when your screen door opens that late at night.
All stay safe.
Tom
