I'll start this off , everyone have a safe turkey day.

I'm thankful for all my healthy family and 7 month old boy.

Also found this which should be interesting .... Vodka whip cream on pumpkin pie! Can't wait.

Happy Turkey day!

I've got a lot of ***** on my plate right now, so I'm kind of just thankful that I haven't lost it yet.

Take care everyone and be safe.

Thankful to be out of Jail and that my CTSV is going pretty well!

RBJ: Hope things get better and try not to lose it.

I have a question that I just noticed on your time slips...you went 10.70's or so on many runs and I am curious on how the MPH is 120.xx on one and 129.xx on another. How did it not go faster with the 129mph being that the 60' times were comparable? Just curious.

I am thankful that after ~20months of looking for work, I found a job, with an employer who appreciates the work I do, and keeps me from overworking. Having been jaded by many other employers, I think I found a good fit. Who would have thought it would be back in finance

I am thankful I found this forum to help me decide whether to let a 70K mile 99 C43 with crash damage go to the salvage yard here on Maui or if I should buy it. Will start a thread once I have the pictures (as in 2) ready to post.

Aside from this forum I am thankful this Thanksgiving finds me communicating again on a regularly basis with my 15 and 16 year old stepdaughters. Moving two thousand miles away 15 months ago was not without some initial collateral damage.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
