Always... be thankful for all that you've been given.

Haha! Keep it clean fellas! Talking turkeys here! 18.4 pounds this year. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all

Just Edog and Mrs K here today. We are having some left over chipped venison gravy over baked spuds. Baking apple, pumpkin, pecan pies and making my maple syrup sweet taters to take to son Marks tomorrow. We found Black Friday is the only day we can get the entire clan of 24 together. Mark will be smoking two turkeys. My 97yo MIL will be bringing her killer oyster stuffing that is our traditional dish at all holiday dinners. Best Wishes to All .......Have a great Holiday with some Quality Family Time. Almost ready for tomorrows Black Friday Thanksgiving. Sweet potatoes are baked Gingerbread cake with lemon curd filling Apple pie Sho Fly Pie Opted for the Sho Fly instead of the Pecan due to one guest with a nut allergy. Cranberry Apple Sauce We'll make the two Pumpkin Pies tomorrow AM.

Oh, about so big

We have always had the traditional 18 to 20 pound turkey. However, we have noticed that with our family, dark meat is not as popular as white, so this year I am cooking two 6.5 pound turkey breasts in the Instant Pot. 35 minutes to cook, 20 minutes to pressure release, and it's done. Downright best, most moist turkey I have ever had.

While it is wonderful to read about what meats everyone is preparing for this day of Thanksgiving (we’re having roasted turkey and ham), I would be grateful to have anything on the table. I can truly say that even amongst the face-stuffing, laughter, commotion, and conversation, I will reflect on what it means to be blessed enough to even be able to celebrate the day, and give thanks to a loving God for what he provides. What a most valuable blessing we were bestowed when God placed us on this land, in this country, and I hope that all who reads this agrees… So enjoy your turkey you turkey’s… and have a great and grateful Thanksgiving !

Turkey day will be a little subdued this year, just me and the wife and a couple single close friends. So a turkey we be overkill for the group that will gather. So the little lady decided a large roaster chicken would do. Which is fine by me, a person can only eat so much left over turkey.

Double smoke spiral cut ham for this house today. On at 6

In the past we have usually done around a 20 lb. turkey. But not this year. Daughter moved out, so it's just me, the wife, and 17 year old son. Not doing Thanksgiving today, daughter's boyfriend's mother (nurse) has to work tomorrow so our daughter is having Thanksgiving with their family today and we're having them all over tomorrow. Daughter, her boyfriend, his sister (both long time family friends) and another friend their age. We decided to go the easy route and ordered a prepared Thanksgiving meal from a local French restaurant. I'm sure it will be good, and a lot less work. The kids and us will be making some desserts and laying out a bunch of cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit as appetizers. Mostly looking forward to the time together, good food is secondary (but still important!) Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving day!

Well, not quite Thanksgiving, but the night before, on November 25, 2009, I was sitting at my desktop computer looking for a plastic dash panel for my 1977 B-100. It was my intention to begin acquiring parts to do a complete restoration over the winter. Well as luck would have it, I discovered RedSquare Wheel Horse forum. I joined, ask a question about where to find my dash, and as the old saying goes, the rest is history. Here I sit, tonight, the night before Thanksgiving 13 years later, reminiscing about all the information that I have received over those 13 years, and realizing how thankful that I am to have found this group. I am truly blessed. I am not a man of many friends (by my choice), but those whom I have met through this forum and at Wheel Horse shows are among the best and truest friends a guy could have. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Bob

Turkey’s on the smoker! 3:30 am. Back to bed!

Just thought I would post a couple of picks of the B-80 winter plow tractor at work with my new 7.5 cu cart. Nice little cart. If you have cottonwoods trees you know there a pain to keep up with. Constant pick up twigs or small branches all season pretty much. I hope you enjoy the picks.

Watched Planes Trains and Automobiles (John Candy and Steve Martin) Watch it every T-Day can almost leave eh sound off know all the lines especially when Steve confronts the Car rental lady... CAUTION ADULTS ONLY

Underhand? Overhand? Side arm? Shotput style? Can I use a trebuchet? I s'pose the method varies some depending on the type of freezer...

Heading to Buffalo to see the melting snow. Ham for us!

I have to ask her! Just breast for here, no giblets.

Put the turkey on rebar spit, use a bundt pan under for drippings, put foil under, place can over, charcoal on top and around edge, keep adding charcoal as needed, about 2 hours and she's ready. It's hot here today though about 82. sweating a little setting this up!

18lbs & getting close to meal time.

you gonna chew on your screen if I post up some gobble gobble?

I love smoked chicken! It is about the best way to keep that meat moist in my experience. We had a good sized gift card from our farmer to the local Turkey farm, so it was only fitting to get a good one. Nearly 26 lbs! It’s stuffed with onions, butter and apples. I checked it a minute ago, it’s looking mighty fine already!

BTW Joe.... BBT and I are having chicken breast and cranberry sauce.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I trust all will have a healthy, safe, and happy Thanksgiving. I know I have much to be thankful for, and one of those is this forum. A special thanks to the folks that make this forum a great place for all of us. And the help and friendships we have made because of it.

Happy Thanks Giving!! Hope every one gets to spend some time with family & friends today.

So you did all that just to roast marshmallows Chuck? You're havin way too much fun.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you all get plenty of good food, and enjoy the day! I plan to eat until I'm far more useless than usual, and then take a nap...

Happy Thanksgiving from our woods in Kentucky. Charcoal column turkey. Overall picture: Looking down into the guts of the setup: #10 tins with chicken wire tubes. Heavy duty foil reflectors wrapped around your choice of stakes - I used fence posts this year. Light the charcoal off, season the bird (I used salt, pepper, sage, thyme, savory, and butter, stuffed cavity with onion & lemon), double bag in oven bags and hang in the center. Use extra space for sides. The Dutch oven in the picture has the stuffing, we added another Dutch oven with a stuffed squash a little later, then later yet a pan of beets, and a pan of mashed potatoes. On the propane camp stove, my son made some cranberry jelly (fresh cranberries, sugar, and water cooked until proper consistency), gravy, and green beans. Homemade biscuits. Pies for dessert. Picture of my plate:

Air cannon is my favorite.

Paul... you do realize that by saying that you just excluded 93% of the members of the forum... INcluding @ebinmaine Don

Broke a differential bolt that got jammed between bull gear and case cracking it... My bet

Is that a Covid shot?

Can I take my pick???

I'll second that... I replaced the bases with nifty angled washers that Dan gave me. They are for getting a nut or bolt to lay flat on c or angle iron.

As usual, we are frying our bird. Some of you may remember pictures of our bird from last year... Fryer is heated up now... waiting on the female lady women to do their injection and seasoning magic!!! The dinner: Turkey Squash Casserole Cranberries Mac and Cheese Sweet potato casserole Mashed potatoes Green bean casserole Deviled eggs Stuffed celery Stuffing/dressing casserole (YUCK) Regular gravy Giblet gravy Rolls Punch For desert: Pumpkin cheescake Pumpkin Pie Pecan Pie Cherry pie EVERYTHING is homemade. My only job is to fry the turkey and make the punch. Don

I had to turn it off. It used to be floats, marching bands and drill teams. Now it's too much in-your-face commercial "entertainment". Sorry.

Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a stop at Alice's Restaurant... From the Group W Bench..,

The answer to this is a vacuum sealer. Vacuum seal your left overs in meal size portions, ( I usually do about 14-16oz to a bag for 2 people) then throw them in the freezer. When you need a quick meal pull a bag out of the freezer, throw it in a pot full of cold water, bring the water to a boil, boil for 10 to 15 minutes, cut the bag open dump it on your plate & eat. Will taste just like it did the day you first made it. We do this with a lot of left over roasted or smoked meats.

is the camera broken?

There was a LOT more than wild turkey 🦃 back in the mid 1600s in the "Plimouth" bay area. Being a coastal area it's far more likely the tradition started with a water bird. Tell your kid to enjoy the meal no matter what it is.

Second??!!?? TRACTORS???

For years we went the traditional turkey rout with the family. This year it was just me and my wife so I prepared a casserole consisting of Granny Smith apples, browned pork chops and covered with dressing. One hour in the oven @ 350 and lunch was ready. Neither of us like turkey very much anyway.

Ya done found some o' my ole stuff ehh??

Oh, and I will likely fall of the face of the Earth after eating all of that... so... if you guys feel a small jolt around 2-3 o'clock... just know that the Earth regained gravity... Don

Thanks!! WAPL plays this every Thanks Giving at noon.

I MIGHT !!!!!

That is the way to do it. A friend of mine has a small excavation business and told me one of the biggest mistakes when clearing trees is to cut them down. He comes in and pushes them over with a excavator and most of the roots come out. If the people want firewood he stacks them with the excavator using the thumb so it is easy to cut. Says roots take alot to time to dig out. Only works on medium to small trees.

Wow, this is great, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I really appreciate the input, and already learning more just through the interaction as apposed to just silently browsing. @Achto , @Ed Kennell and @Bill D, can you tell me more about what you mean by a "worker," or what sets the other models ahead of the roundhoods? @Pullstart that 502 is awesome. If I wasn't so dang far away, I'd definitely want to build something similar - aren't all the transmissions near-direct swappable? I was afraid someone would say "only one?" because in the back of my mind, I secretly think it'd be cool to also put my little kids on an RJ. @The Freightliner Guy I have a photo of my toddler self on my grandpas RJ400 in the early 90's. Gotta stay focused on the deadline though @Retired Wrencher and @953 nut, thanks for the forum help. Didn't know about the image section, I'll check it out. I've been over to the wanted section which seemed mostly parts-focused but I'll drop in a wanted ad and see what happens! On a related note, I have found a 854 that's posted with a deck, blade and new tires, but smokes heavily with some other issues. I still have some time, as someone mentioned, but if it comes down to it, would I be sorry if I went that way, planning a predator repower?
