Turkey Day

It is Thanksgiving and we are shaping up to have a pretty decent little celebration. My Brother in Law drove down from South Carolina where he is working these days. A couple guys from work are coming over because it was too far for them to go home. We've got all the normal stuff plus the shrimp cream cheese and cocktail sauce dip I love and sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles.

We were watching the parades for awhile, not so much because we like them but because that is what you do on Turkey Day. I had a little bit of Baileys in my second cup of coffee which was nice. It will be the first time Wifey has ever cooked a turkey and the first time I have ever carved one. Fun times. I am about to head to the store for a couple little things we need which should be an adventure.

Yesterday my shipment from J& G came so now I've got 30+ en bloc clips and 5 bandoleers for the Garand, enough to load all the ammo I have now and a couple to spare. Tomorrow I plan to go pick up some M2 ball for a belated National Ammo Day. I was too busy working to get to a gun shop this week. I also want to do some looking at hi cap mags in terms of availability and cost. If the cost is decent odds are a couple three AK mags will come home with me.

Might write some more stuff later.

Jungle Mom, Wifey did an great job of cooking it (tender and juicy) and I did a decent job of carving it up.
