Morning to all DTR members...

Well I had a wonderful trip to my girlfriends place in Lewiston. Had a great T-Day dinner. Wow! I'm still stuffed from all the good cookin'... Sad to say back to the real world and time to get ready for the work week...

I got to get some posting done here then get my truck cleaned up after all the muddy roads and snow... Then repack it for work tools.

Well you guys (and gals) have a great day ... remember to slow down up here in the frozen north... It's very slick...

Mopar1973man Out of here...

Finished up my six day tradeshow and WOW did we do well! This is the first time I EVER showcased my air intakes in Canada and it was in my home town as well. I was wrenching in the parking lots just like a Diesel Truck Show.

Its R&R Day here with the Canadian Football Final this afternoon.

Gotta finish up the insulation on the building we put up for the new products and inventory on Monday, then head out of town for a couple days to finish up the addapod and the ahem...Ford and Chevy air intakes.

All the USA talk about turkey has me thinking about roasting a bird...mmmmmmm

Time for more coffee.
Have a great week all you overstuffedsouthoftheborderturkeyeaters.

You better roast a bird, Scotty = = you don't know what you are missing. I know, you all ready had your Thanksgiving day. Getting ready for them wonderful leftovers, now. I hear the micro talking out there and dishes rattling. Great time with the family.

Went out on the boat all afternoon yesterday, then into Marina Jack for supper on the deck outside looking out over the bay and the gorgeous sunset - - fire red. Good food, good company, relax - - what can be better than being with family at a time like that. Then a gentle cruise back in the dark trying to miss the channel markers and the crab trap floats.

OK, micro is talking, mama is calling - - yum yum, see ya.

I got some very very good news yesterday. My husband called me (haven't talked to him on the phone in over a month) and told me he is out of Iraq for good. He's still overseas in the desert but out of harms way. He will spend the next couple months in Saudi Arabia before he comes home in February.

Thanks Geico and Shovelhead. The call was a big surprise. The phones had been acting up on the base he was on so I got an email once or twice a week. I was so surprised when the phone rang and it was him. Definately gave me something extra to be thankful for during the holiday season.

Ahoy !!!!

Sure glad to hear that your hubby is out of harms way .... the worst part is not knowing, huh ? Send him our best !!

Snow on the ground, salt trucks were getting busy this morning and I saw then even plowing the sidewalks and walking trails . These Germans are serious about their walking.

Busy week starting today ... better get cracking now.
