December open chat thread

Hello all of FTE. Here it is the brand spanking new December chat thread. No more months to the new year, we are already in the last one! Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? it is sunny and bright here in the middle of nowhere, but very windy. Our trees have dropped so many leaves, you can hardly see the grass under them. If you're driving be safe out there.

Jim

As usual...I'm late to the party. Hey Gig, hey Hank...time to move into the present.
Nighteyez, I'm going to try and beat you to the punch come January.

Ok, January it is!

Haven't lost any fencing here, but there are a lot more leaves on the ground now, then this morning. Only time we had any fence trouble was last year when a moron drove his Lincoln Mark 8 through it...backwards after losing control in the rain. Did more damage to his car, then the fence, of course, he did not stick around to discuss the particulars.

Morn guys!!

Just thought of another gift for wife. Shares of Green Bay Packers. Go on sale Dec 6th for $250.00 per share. She likes the Pack while I am a Dallas fan.
Kinda neat to frame, Imo
What do you think?

Good Morning NorCal, Gig, Hank, and Nighteyez. I'm off to San Francisco this AM to take the granddaughter to the Dicken's Christmas Fair, and to see the SF Youth Ballet's version of The Nutcracker. Should be a fun couple of days. I'll try and meet up with Tiger Dan at the fair, and will report back on how that works out.
Have a great weekend, hope the wind dies a little or those of you to windward.

Goodmorning all,

TGIF! I'm sooooo ready for this weekend. I hope your work day goes by quick & the weekend slow.

On a different note -
Wish me luck please. I have a job placement exam with the State on the 6th. I doubt I'll get it, but if nothing else it'll give me the experience of State testing for future employment opportunities.

Good morning FTE. No wind here today (knocks on wood) and the sun is trying to peek through the clouds, so it might be a great day after all. Enjoy your trip to SF Sparky, and Tiger Dan's show. I am sure your grand daughter will have a great time.

Donna, good luck with your state exam.

Good morning FTE! It looks like a beautiful day weather wise, although I do see ice on the roof tops, so it must be COLD out there! Well have to dress warm for the trip over to see the truck and trailer. It is the weekend! Time to enjoy whatever it is you enjoy doing on the weekend! I have been checking out the "Where am I in SoCal?" thread in the So/Cal chapter (where else?) and now I really can't wait to get that 4x4 and go check out some of those places.

Jim
