Thankful

I do have a lot to be thankful for. I have a house (the final mortgage payment for which will fall in just a couple of months, a decently good job, and a fair bit of security. And today, an excellent Thanksgiving dinner prepared by Lisa.

Traditional Fernley House Thanksgiving )

We were very full. A duck is enough for us. This year, we managed to get so much meat off the carcass that we decided it wasn't worth the effort to try and boil the remains down for soup.

After an hour or so to let the dinner settle, we had a bit of pumpkin pie (not pictured) that Lisa had cooked last night. We're pretty well off. I think my grandparents would be pleased with me.

As I've previously mentioned, we will be spending our Thanksgiving Day driving from Bishop to Los Angeles, so we had our big Thanksgiving Day meal last night.

I ran into Sparks after work to get the oil changed in the Astro, because I saw that winter weather was heading our way and I hoped to get there and back before it moved in. As it happens, I dodged it all. I saw rain all around me and also what I assume was some hail that must have fallen just before I drove through, but I escaped the rain while driving and got home before dark.

The rain moved in just after I got home and continued steadily through the night. Fortunately, I'd remembered to put the plastic in the wood boxes to minimize the amount of rain getting in to them. Unfortunately, I realized that when I put the small wood back back on the porch I'd forgotten to put one of the mini-pallets into it to keep the energy logs off the floor of the box; therefore, any water that does get into the box will damage the logs. I'll take care of that tomorrow, I hope.
