Hey Claude, just read back a few pages, prayers for you and yours sent from Virginia (me) and Wyoming (wife). Keep the chin up, and the tissue handy. Those things tend to get you when you least expect it. 
If nothing else we all know she is in a much better place, and finally free of pain and all that ailed her.

Turkey at my family gathering this year should be a good one. I am picking up a fresh one from the butcher tomorrow and mom is gonna cook it on thursday. I should pick up a second turkey and go buy a fryer too. The family has been talking about frying one for a few years now but no one has bought a fryer yet.

Hey Matt,
How goes the battle...
I had my first deep fried turkey last year on a rig in ND. spent thanksgiving there. Anyway, best turkey I have had by far. Probably will never cook a turkey the old fashioned way again. IIRC it cooked in about thirty minutes. It was VERY good. Actually cooked another one when I got back home and we celebrated t-day again. You won't be disappointed!!!!
Morning all you turkey frying fools!

I need to get me a turkey fryer still! Not a bad price on the turkey, too bad we don't have a Windex around here.

I should pick up a second turkey and go buy a fryer too. The family has been talking about frying one for a few years now but no one has bought a fryer yet.

I'm a northerner, just displaced in the south. I can't really get into the finer points of southern cuisine.
Sam's club Matt, that's where I got mine. It came with all the goodies, basket, bird stand and hook, thermometer, burner and regulator, everything you need except oil and gas.

Hey Norbert! Nice website you got yourself!
Deciding what to have for lunch does NOT constitute 'BUSY'!

Spin the chair to the left, spin the chair to the right and try not to get another splinter. Kinda like the hokie pokie for office types.

Actually I'm building a trade show crate for a new customer today.. My trade show builder took his vacation this week. Now if I can just remember how to build one of these things.. I'll take pictures later. (if i can still build these.)

He has that covered too, but EPA wont let Sams sell it anymore. Too many fatalities.
You got caught in the cross fire... consider yourself collateral damage. You can sue Rick for war crimes and have him build your display crates.
Probably end up looking like this though...
