Happy Thanksgiving up North

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all us Canuks today.

I had my big feed yesterday at the In-laws place, Mmmm, Mmmmm, I LOVE turkey!!! And I'm the only one in my family who does, so getting my fill at the In-laws works out good for me. Had a good meal and a good visit and even got to drive my 1/2 ton a few hundred clicks. Haven't driven it since....... well I drove it to the tire shop last month for new rubber, but not since May, really. Hard to load-up me, Lana, 2 dogs and 4 pies on the bike.....

But today, they have our local soldiers out on exersizes.... no Thanksgiving for them I guess. They are out there fireing off artillary like crazy, with the odd plane flying over and dropping what I'm told are 1000lb bombs for effect..... every 8 minutes, like clockwork. The dogs don't react to the shelling, but freak-out when a bomb goes off..... how am I sposed to be a lazy bum and waste the day sleeping like that, I ask you? :?


Hope your day is a little quieter..... time for a big turkey sandwich.... yum, yum. :mrgreen:
:laughing:

We're having crow this year in most of the US. All the turkeys are in Washington, DC.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and all my Canadian brothers and sisters, Buzz. There's some turkey leftover from our meal, but it won't be around for long. I like turkey. :D

Sorry you had all that Army noise for background music, but as a former soldier myself I feel for them - Wainwright in October is not the nicest place to be. Having to run around shooting at things during a holiday makes it even worse.

I was surprised they had the boys out today, I figured they would have given them a break today. But no such luck for them. And they used real ordinace today, the Canadian Armed Forces dropping real, actual-money bombs on a few deer is unlike them here. Must be trying to flush them off base for hunting season.....
