Happy Thanksgiving to all.
For those outside of the US, the modern observance of the holiday we call Thanksgiving consists primarily of a day where we don't work, prepare a large fowl, usually roasted, occasionally deep fried by the brave, have our children return home from college or graduate school and/or with their spouses, and, again, for the brave, we invite relatives to our home. The highlight of the evening is a meal where the fowl and other foods are consumed.
For many, the day is filled with the three "As": angst, anxiety and aggravation as we have taken a day off from work to spend time with a group of folks we would have never selected as our friends, to wit, parents, in-laws and other assorted relatives. For others, it is a joyful reunion with those folks.
After consuming way too many calories, many spend the post meal in a fixed position watching what Americans call "football."

Happy Thanksgiving you and all!
Having moved to the US a few years ago I've come to really appreciate this holiday. Apart from its historical significance it's a perfect moment to reflect and be thankful on what we have and how fortunate we are. So cheers to all that have and wishing for good things to those that don't!

I started the day with washing the wheels > body > blow dry > dry > claybar a few area > spray wax. She is in car show condition before noon. All those hard work was rewarded by generous portion of meat, meat and more meat. Don't remember eating anything green.

I wish, I drown my sorrow with turkey... the completion time was about two weeks off schedule. Must be the additional dash in leather. But it is now on the ship, my guess is before Xmas for sure. I am not holding my breath for 30 days from getting on ship to dealer.
