Good morning Jim and the rest of CT. Last day of work for me. I am soooooo looking forward to the 4 day weekend. Unlike my last vacation I don't have any manual labor schedule for this one.

I am sending my brother to PA with the family for Thanksgiving in hopes of talking my Pap into giving me a gun, or at least selling me one. I want another rifle. Maybe a shotgun someday. All I have is a .22. Always shot my buddy's guns.(most of which he got from his grandfather)
It took my brother an I about 40 minutes to get through Waterbury on the way to Torrington to pick up my new parts. I was going to do that today, but thought it wiser to avoid as much traffic as possible. Unfortunately one of my good friends is in Danbury this weekend visiting his fiance's family, so I am driving out to Newtown to have some 5 guys burgers and fries and see him and his lady. Should be an interesting trip. Typical time is about 40 minutes. I plan for triple that. OUCH! On a positive note, my truck already felt the effects of the go fast parts, and they were only in the bed of the truck, haha. Ran smooth as silk and purred right along after picking the stuff up.
