A Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to everyone here, your families and friends!

Days Gone Bye!
Let us see ... It's 2 am in the Eastern part of the country. I'll get the coffee going today - just don't disturb me as I am going to grab a few winks of sleep before the festivities start.
It's 55 and clear - expected to be 76 and clear tomorrow.
I wish all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanks Giving to all!
The weather here in Coarsegold, Calif., is getting down right Nippy. No snow but fairly moist and cold!
As a thought, "I have never seen any running Bear's at Jeffery Running Bears' Dinner"! Has anyone else seen them?
It seems like I finally got the leaks fixed on the garden tractor dump trailer as well as the two front tires of the tractor using
Green Slim to seal the leaks. So now my next project will be to move the tractor out of 10' x 12' building which is also loaded with other tractor implements so I can pull the starter off it and replace the Bendix gear. Then I need to get another Battery for it so I can start mowing and hauling the trailer around to cut a lot of small low hanging Oak branches and some brush. It sure will be great to be able to ride the tractor to mow approximately 3 acres of ground with rather than trying to do it with the weed eater.
I also need to start cutting Oak fire wood to burn as I have about 6 or 8 dead trees on my place to cut down within fairly easy access which is lucky. I also need to attach the chain saw file sharpener and pass it over the teeth again but I think most of them are fairly sharp but I might a well get them all sharp and even for a good cut.
Oh, I playing catch-up so I went back to page 10 to start.
[Curt:] Your very welcome. So you other folks know what he's referring too, I sent him a text, yesterday I think, as I knew I'd be late posting, as I am. I suggested that instead of him putting in an on/off switch he should just put a small rheostat in the positive line so he could adjust the brightness a he desires. That's his objective after all!
Say Justim: That's a fairly good way to do that. Double sided tape works best stuck to a hard flat surface. Your steps turned out very nice. I think I used to paint them a light earth color on the treads and then dry brush on some darker earth color to show use. You can use the darker earth color with a Dry Brusy Method. DBM = apply a bit of the dark earth and pass your flat bristled brush over some paper to soak most of the paint off of it and then pass is over the step treads where you want to show foot prints from use.
Say Karl: You'd better hope she doesn't read your post!
Johnny: I'm a Lonk Island guy myself, born in Mineola but the folk moved to Calif., when I was 9 months old so I've grown up out here.
Say Chet: Hell, that's what keep you young! You sure get a considerable amount or snow alright but then again many others do too. The Skid stear should make it a lot easier though.
I'll be glad to get my little tractor going as even it is a tremendous work saver mowing and rather fun while things are green but when things start to dry out it gets dusty and a challenge to dodge the wind!
Say Garry: Very interesting scenes and very nice photography too, your scenes show the artist in you and you do a good job of composing your shots too!
Say Sherrel: I like your Mother-in laws sense of humor, yet reality too! LoL

Good morning fellers. I have been busy trying to find a way to get the steps to my coal camp house built. Solution. Small pliers, my file, and a strip of masking tape.
These things collapsed on me yesterday. I was quite furious. Ofcourse my painting didn't work out either. Yesterday was rough! Today is a little better.

Grumpy's fine, she just went to bed!

Good morning, all (G'day, Toot)! It's 48, cloudy, and - oh, those pumpkin spice doughnuts smell great - I'll have a couple of those and a big mug o' coffee, thank you. heading for upper 50's today - tomorrow showers, but the rest of the week will be sunny and upper 50's. Looking good for Thanksgiving day.
Ray - Only picnic on that table today will be "frozen dinners," eh? My son-in-law is from Whitesboro, near Utica, not far from you. I'm an old Long Island boy myself, and traveled upstate NY as much as I could - used to camp, climb mountains, hike, and fish from Lake George to the Finger Lakes. Still love upstate New York, even with the annual 4-6 feet of snow. If it weren't for taxes, I'd probably think about retiring there.

Good morning
Here are some GN Alcos running behind Reggie's Junk Yard.
Here is another shot of Reggie's Junk Yard. Reggie is working on his stock car.
Beware of "Dawg", the junk yard dog next to the shanty. He is as mean as any dog can get.

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving Day to all. A bit colder at 40° and clear skies headed up to the mid-70's today. Got a busy day ahead of me today, so off I go.
Everybody have an awesome day.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Been busy working and the motel I'm staying at has really lousy WI-FI, so I haven't been on here much. I get a whole four days off and I plan on enjoying them! Maybe I'll be able to catch up on the goings on with everyone. Hope everybody has a great time!
