thats a nice set. How much did that cost you? I too have been looking for a 1/2 set

Either we get snow or we don't. It'll be cold though, that's for sure. Guess I should go ahead and load the wagon with firewood for the weekend, or I'll be doing it when it's 29 degrees out.

Last year I had 12 around the table for Thanksgiving. Friends and family, was my first year hosting and I have to say I missed it this year. I do enjoying getting a large group together and cooking for them. Maybe next year, I'll cook again.

So my vote's gonna have to go with Bob's lights being the best lights at Christmas.

Taking advantage of the 60 degree weather we're having today and putting some of the Christmas light stuff in the shed. And still have lights on the gutters, and porch is covered. That's coming down today too.
Later, BBQ chicken thighs for the smoker

well gents, it looks like we are going to get some snow this weekend. According to our local news this morning, the European model is favored and the front will heat hit further north and east meaning we, her in Asheville are going to get 3-5", nothing major but still enough to play in and itll hit all the way over towards the east coast of nc with 1-2" so you guys might get a slight dusting..stay safe out there, time to take Lucille out and see what she does in the snow. 2wd long bed +old tires +torque +no weight over rear wheels = tons of fun..mughahaha

I don't care if ever see snow again in my life. But 1 to 2"s in this part of the state almost shuts everything down.

If my wife gets offered the job that she has been contacted about, she'll be working from home full time, and we're talking about moving towards the mountains
