Austin, here's my favorite scene from that movie. Luckily, today is THANKSGIVING, a day no one has to say "what don't you want." (may have to follow link to YouTube, but it is there.)

Appreciate you saying so and we need a military to survive as a nation. I realize this in my heart and, in my mind. I'm happy to get the 10%, but there's mixed feelings. At times, I feel like I was a hired gun when I take the discount.
Worked out this morning (preparing to eat a lot), walked 2 dogs right after (different times), dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the house, cleaned up, helped wife prepare turkey, peeled and cut potatoes for cooking and mashing and now watching the Lions play the Bills. Rooting for the Lions since they have a losing record so far this year. Plus, they have lost more games on Thanksgiving than they have won. Their fans need a break.
Not been a Lions fan since they did Barry Sanders like they did him...them losing is okay by me...
My double smoked ham with pineapple heat glaze, and turkey breast using dan o's seasoning turned out perfect.
Unbuckle those belts and eat hardy my friends...

Enjoying the John Madden remembered clips during the Dallas-Giants game.
Strong associations with him and those Golden Hours at my parents’ house just before and after the Thanksgiving feast. Seems like he did that game from when I was a teenager until I was in my 50s. Probably wasn’t quite that long, but he’s part of the background color of lots of happy memories.
The Tur-Duck-In. Classic!

We didn't have a TV till the late fifties. We always had the holiday dinners at one of my grandparents. I don't recall them ever having a TV, thus no ball games.the women cooked, the kids played outside and the men went hunting. After about 11 or so, I got to join in with the hunting.
I wish they would have bought Frank Caliendo into the studio to do some Madden like talking points.
Happy Thanksgiving D-League! Hope all enjoyed this day of giving thanks.
Reading the Madden posts really brought back memories. I was a huge Raiders fan back then. Not so much these days. Madden was famous for his fear of flying, hence the Madden Cruiser was born. More of a claustrophobia thing than fear of flying it turns out. My favorite Christmas commercial of all time included the man:

No. I'm roughly 10-12 years older. Attended/grad MHS '78-'79. Spent a few years in FL prior. We know many of same folks.
I hope all your days were great ones. Family is everything. Be thankful... I am...
Good morning folks.

Overcast and cool today. Heading out for a hike in a few minutes. Have a Good Friday.

Hope all have the rest of the weekend off so you can rest for the weekend.
40° this morning with the high in the low 50's and moderate winds expected. Rain coming (99%) chance for the evening.
Watched the first two football games yesterday then gave the new 75" tv over to my daughter so she could play video games with her mother, uncle, and grandmother after dinner. Went to bedroom and watched a lot of music videos from the 80's and fell asleep. Wife came to bed around 0230 after her mother and brother left. They are coming back over Saturday so; the Christmas decorations go up today (my wife wanted to rest) or Sunday which was going to be another rest day since Saturday was the planned day to decorate. Good thing she took Monday off too.
You guys enjoy your day and leftovers.
God Bless.
Good morning D-League. We currently have 53° and rain sprinkles here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon the rain tapers off, giving way to cloudy skies and a high of 56°.
Hard to believe another Thanksgiving came and went. It's always been my favorite holiday.
Have a great day.

Good morning from Forge Ridge TN. Currently 46°F, cloudy with occasional rain drops. Today's high expected around 58°F.
Sitting here watching WVLT Morning News Knoxville via stream. So far it's remarkably on time. Plan on drinking coffee as soon as daughter wakes up.
Leaving today. Heading back to Nolin Lake. Gonna miss these mountains. Plan on arriving back out there by 6 PM CST today.
Hope y'all enjoyed you Thanksgiving and had a great one, It's Black Friday, an event I never participate at all.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Very nice 41102. Christmas in New York City. My wife’s aunt who lives on the upper east side of Manhattan has a Christmas party every year. We’ve made it about half the time over the past two decades —did make it last year, the day Kentucky crushed UNC-Cheats. Not going this year because of my hip surgery.Good morning D-League.

Everyone should do it once.
No thanks. The only time I was in NYC was military related. Had a layover there, but never left the airport. Caught one of the first successful 747 flights across the Atlantic. We had some minor issues but didn't have to turn back.
My turkey. Simple recipe, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper then smoke with apple wood. Moist as can be if you don't cook it above 165 degrees.My double smoked ham with pineapple heat glaze, and turkey breast using dan o's seasoning turned out perfect.
Unbuckle those belts and eat hardy my friends...

Very similar to my background except I did not have the grandparents (I knew my maternal grandmother, she died when I was 14). The women cooking, the men hunting etc. was exactly what happen with my family.
Uncle Elmer's farm was the most productive for rabbits and quail. It was ill kept and the animals loved it.

The guy that owned the pawn shop in Mboro forever. I can't remember his name.
My favorite too, always has been. If we had Friday off after fine, if not, most of the time we still had Saturday and Sunday off so, along with the food being great, it was also good to have more than one day off.Good morning D-League.

I rabbit hunted with Dad, Uncle, cousins and little brother when I was younger on Thanksgiving Day.
After getting married I duck hunted with my wife's cousins on Thanksgiving and then traveled to my parents the day after.
Now we skip the hunting and go to my parents. We had 41 in every nook and cranny yesterday.
My first gun was on my 8th birthday. A 410.
That’s about the same with me Bert.
Just got off the phone with my dad, and coincidentally we talked shotguns. He’s got an old L.C. Smith 12 gauge double barrel I loved as a kid. I used to hunt with it until he bought me an Ithaca Model 37 pump 12 gauge I’ve kept in pristine condition for over 50 years now.
When we’d hunt together he used his Remington Automatic. But his favorite gun is one his favorite uncle gave him years ago. It’s a 12 gauge double barrel with cocking hammers. It’s been in the family since his grandfather bought it in a hardware store in Cynthiana brand new in 1907 —for $7.50. Love stories like that.
Did you know any Atkins or Estes
Remember the Catholic or Presbyterian church in Middlesboro? They put storm windows across all the stained glass on the steeple. I installed them. The fire department setup their long truck mounted ladder for me to be able to install the tallest parts the rest I did from a ladder.
I worked for Jim Barnes as his installer. (He made windows.)(I think he was a preacher too.)
Funny thing though on that job, I remember the window peaks were rounded. To get the storm windows to fit Jim cut bunched of slats in the frame so it could be molded. Then he caulked the seams with brown caulk. I told him then it looked shoddy but he said it was so high no one would notice. I did though...
I guess it worked though I thought it should have been welded(aluminum) and sanded. I was an adept welder at the time though in my teens I welded on box cars for two years in Michigan by that time... Just remembering...
One of his son's was Troy Barnes.

15 and it was a .22 caliber rifle. Squirrel, rabbit, dove, turtles, and anything I could see as long as it was stationary. I used to buy as many 100 count .22 long rifle shells I could afford and spent a lot of time learning how to shoot accurately. Used my stepfathers 30.06 as well but those rounds of course were more expensive so, shot less of those.
A 410 here also. I was always better with a shotgun or later something like an M-60 where the trail of bullets would lead you to the targets. At some bases we'd do a lot of harassment and interdiction, so lots of practice. With other weapons, just average. I'd never used a handgun till police school. We had to qualify with a S@W 38 police special. I did average right-handed, then they said qualify lefty. My first shot hit the ground about halfway to the target. Eventually I got average. Reckon I was a pretty average guy.
Sir,
In the brief encounters I've read and have observed you are anything but "average"...
Take a few minutes and listen to this, yeah, I am thankful ..

I watched the Ted Strong video,haven't had time for the second yet. Ted is an amazing man. We were set up by a retired vet at a craft show a couple of years ago. He had taken some serious injuries in Iraq and was in a hospital in Germany for a long time. He told me Trump had flown his family back and forth to visit him a couple of different times free of charge and Trump had done so for others. People like that gave infinitely more than me. KK sang Why me Lord, what have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I have known. that song kept running through my head as I cut firewood today. Trust me, I'm very average.Take a few minutes and listen to this, yeah, I am thankful ..

A .22 was the first gun I ever shot as a kid but we always had various guns in the house so I never really had a true "first" gun I guess.
Sir,
I will strive to be average as well. I will fail but I will try to attain your stature in my eyes. My brother (BIL) since I was about 9 or 10 was a Vietnam veteran and I KNOW I will never achieve his accomplishments God rest his soul. Just from how you have carried yourself here, I can state what I've stated. God Bless you Sir!
My grandpa gave me a 30-30. By a bad turn that rifle was sold. I never take too much stock in material possessions but I'd sure like to have been able to have kept that rifle. It was used and wasn't much to look at but that didn't matter.
My Dad also gave me a 4-10 same situation. The only thing I ever wanted back was the 30-30.
My Dad gave me a small pocket knife a long time ago. I treasured that knife but gave it to my older brother a few years ago on purpose. It was right to do and I am thankful...
Cmon Cats....save the the season and take care of the Dirty Birds.
Morning Legionnaires!
Raining this morning with temp in the mid 40's. High to be in the upper 40's so, not much movement. Rain expected off and on all day.
Yesterday late afternoon wife wanted to put together a cabinet set she bought online over a year ago. Been stored (boxed up) in the garage up against the wall. I told her we would probably only get one done, but she insisted we would get both. After getting the first one done, (taking a couple of hours) and then clearing the area she wanted it to be put (taking more time), she decided it would be best to wait until this morning to do the other one. That may or may not happen as her mother and brother are coming over (again) around noon and she will not be up until about 0900 or later (stayed up late with daughter) and will drink some coffee before moving about.
So much for decorating for Christmas today. That will have to happen tomorrow, maybe. In any sense, I told her last night that everything for me shuts down at 1330 so I can prepare for the game. She just shook her head and said: "Sports".
You guys relax out there (as much as you can with the game and all) and travelers be safe and God Bless.
Oh and yeah! IT'S GAME DAY!
