We made it

It was like a successful bombing run! We hit all our targets  and made it back to base in one piece.
Sherri says she has just about all her gifts bought. I on the other hand...as usual...am a little short on filling my list. I like waiting to the last minute so that I don't miss any great deals. You know if you buy too early you may find a better price latter. 
I got my table saw. I save $128.00 on this gift to myself. They had it marked down $100.00 and then with my VA discount I got another 25% off. 
Speaking of veterans...I noticed how many items in the stores were made in Vietnam! It was sad to think about the 56,000 men that perished in that since-less war! They gave their all for our cause and so many years latter I wonder for what? Those folks are still living in the same grass hooch we left them in all those years ago and they are happier than ever. Making all the clothes we now wear and the toys our kids play with...Just saying.
OK done with that...I am looking forward to finishing the cabin and moving on with my shop/art studio.
Tomorrow and Sunday will be spent finishing the plumbing and then I can button up the outside and work on the inside. They say it might rain Monday so I need to be done with all the outside work. I am sure it will all get done...

Hope you, Sherri, Chris and all your family had a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Kathy and I are already buying things for Christmas 2017. In past if we saw something that was on Sale we'd buy it. Just before the Holiday Shopping Season started the stores would nearly double the prices on the same item then sell it on Sale for Forty Percent Off. That means they still sold it for Twenty Percent more than we paid for it.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.

Yep Joe, have to agree with you about our involvement in that "senseless" war in SEA...we always seem to get ourselves in these stupid conflicts and stay in them just long enough to really screw things totally up....Have we (they) gotten us in a fine mess now.....not to be political, hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
