Drank beers and wine. Ate turkey. Scored me two nice Craftsman bar stools at Sears for $39.99 ea. in my first-ever 6:00 a.m. "After Thanksgiving Day" shopping. Made a soup with the turkey carcass. Turned my Barracuda from hardly-run to no-run, still scratching my head about that. Watched a Mecum Auto Auction rerun on Discovery HD.
 
Turkey Thursday & family, went to a movie with one daughter Friday then she cam up to the house & I fixed the wiring to the drivers side door window module that seems to keep breaking the wires off on her 2004 Grand Cherokee, Saturday went to the other daughter's and helped her cook breakfast for the family and her other inlaws then I put the decking on the playhouse I'm building for the granddaughter and did a little bit of cleaning in my totally messy garage, I need more room!!! Who knows about today
 
I ate turkey with my girls, my brother and my nephews, then we watched football and ate more turkey... good times!

Before that happened I had a big fence repair project. It took a little bit longer than I thought is was going to but the fence should last another 15 years, and hopefully by then we will have moved to our dream house with some room to build a shop.

Very cool idea! I wonder if you can pull tree stumps that way, too?

I spent a lot of time with family. Had plenty of turkey, pie, etc.... Mostly though I cut firewood for my Grandparents so they can get stocked up for the winter.

Turkey day, burned a pile of brush in the back yard that morning. Son home from college with a couple buddies for dinner. Ate too much and lazed around that afternoon. That night we watched the space station and shuttle fly over - very cool.
Friday had to work, that night we went to the movies to see Surrogates with Bruce Willis - a good sci-fi flick. Yesterday I did some welding on a lower control arm, stripped paint off the drivers door and applied rust converter. Today I am welding in a radio plate and painting the LCA from yesterday.
Beautiful day here, supposed to get into the upper 60's and mostly sunny.

Ate and watched TV with friends on Thanksgiving Day. Played golf on Friday. Worked 14 hours Saturday. Worked about 6 hours earlier today and I'll head back in a little bit for a few more hours.
 
This afternoon I welded in a patch panel where the radio goes. The PO had done worse than a butchering job. When I finish I will cut in a correct size hole for a new radio.
I also fabricated up a replacement framework to substitute for the ashtray. I plan to mount 2 or 3 power outlets in this space. I need to visit the junkyard and pick them up so's I can get everything just right.

Nice work.
 
Slept for 14 hrs straight, bought a new cell phone (first one in 4 years and I still hate them :angry7:). I wanted a mp3 player and I figured that for the price of one I might as well get a cell phone with an mp3 player built in, and replaced the wiper pivot seals in the 66.
