My annual pre-Thanksgiving BBQ is Saturday. We have about 15 folks coming down from VA and NC. It'll be fun. We're having barbecued pork, rolls, gr beans, sweet potato casserole, cole slaw, mac&cheese, pineapple/cheese casserole, apple crisp. I'm working on figuring out what kind of cake I'd like to serve for those who don't like apple crisp. If any of you expect to be in the area, pls come on down.
After this bunch leaves we start pulling out the Christmas stuff and the decorating project begins. You can come down and help me with that too.

Sounds yummy, Val. This is a fairly quiet weekend - then things get busier. I am headed to a post-election talk by Mike Allen of Politico this evening. Should be interesting. Tomorrow we are going to a change of command for the +1's Navy "boss". He is taking over the LCS (ship) program the +1 works on. I'm also giving my official notice of retirement tomorrow. Sat going to the farmers market with a friend, then having breakfast.

I leave Friday evening to fly to Boston and then on to Auburn MA to spend Thanksgiving week with Allen and Lisa (my son and wife). Everyone have a great Thanksgiving.

So I managed to get on the bike and treadmill both yesterday and today for a little while.
I felt good enough after today's session, i decided to go split some wood,
I have that pile of oak out there from the tree I took down last year.
I was amazed at how tough this stuff was. I was using a 10 lb maul axe to split it.
It was just bouncing off of it, even after I sharpened it again.
I mean I was putting ALL of my not inconsiderable weight behind it and swinging out of my shoes.
boooink nothing, barely a ding.
wet red oak is tough stuff.

Love the photo, Jerry.

Have to hit the commissary tonight before the hoards descend. This year I'm actually making a T-Day dinner, something I rarely do. But I'm putting my own spin on it. Omaha Steaks has a new product out. It's a chicken roulade with cranberry sage stuffing inside. So I got one of those. I'll make some more stuffing, and have the traditional green bean casserole and some steamed broccoli. And cranberry sauce. Guess I need to start a T-Day thread.

Tom R., Jerry (Spokes Man) and I tried to go check out the Model S Tesla today after seeing a red one drive by at breakfast, while we were sitting outside in the warm California sunshine. Drove to the Newport Beach location where I test drove the other model and found Maserati now in the building. 
I had read about them opening a store in South Coast Plaza but I didn't realize they closed the one on Pacific Coast Highway. Sure enough, I found online that they are now at South Coast Plaza (367 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660). Poop. We drove right by there to get to the other store. Still a fun day hanging out with friends. Now for a little more fun driving the NSX before it gets dark.

My real estate friend bought one, but I've not seen it yet. I know he waited quite awhile for it to be delivered (about a year).
