I wish all the best for everyone. I'm thankful that while I leave for the hospital in a few minutes and will be working 12-18 hours ( not sure how long) this is my last call shift I'll be taking after 32 years of call. Yay !! Leftovers late tonight will taste so good.

Hope to meet you all of you on the road in the future !

Back at you, Keith

Hope everyone has a great day seeing the extended family and packing on the lbs.. I snuck a piece of the wife's from-scratch pumpkin pie last night, think she's gonna be piste when she gets up this morning??

Fortunately for her, and me, she made like 4 of 'em, so she better not.

Hmm.. thinking about having another slice fo' breakfast

I'm very thankful that I was able to take today off, at the last minute. I woke up in a darkness, not wanting to go in.. but then it hit me: how about you just not go to work today? I called my foreman and announced we were taking the day off, and he said "great! I'm gonna start drinking, then." Poor guy lost his wife a few years ago... maybe I'll invite him to Turkeyfest '15 at my mothers...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

In case things get out of control during dinner, you might want to follow SNL's approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2zyjbH9zzA

Happy Thanksgiving to Paceliners.

A beautiful day here in NYC with a pleasant morning ride on the Brompton to pick up the turkey order from an esteemed local restaurant. Yes, we have compromised our DIY proclivities in buying the turkey from Root & Bone (Happy Thanksgiving to Paceliners. A beautiful day here in NYC with a pleasant morning ride on the Brompton to pick up the turkey order from an esteemed local restaurant. Yes, we have compromised our DIY proclivities in buying the turkey from [URL="rootnbone.com) in Alphabet City but will prepare all the side dishes ourselves. Hey, somethings gotta give, I don't have my Weber Kettle grill to cook the turkey like I did in the 'burbs.

Eat hearty, be thankful, fall asleep in the chair afterwards in frontta the TV!
