Thursday 11-23 Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We're going to celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday with Larry's sister Louise. Today we did a little Thanksgiving dinner. Our dinner was spiral ham, potatoes and gravy and dinner rolls. 

The day started out in the high 30s, it was a perfect temperature for a walk. We hadn't walked to Temple Lake Park in a long time so that's what we did. During the walk we met a few people and their dogs. As we were walking up Adams towards the house we saw a gentleman having trouble with his motorcycle, the fuel line had cracked. Larry told him that he may have some fuel line back at the house. Off to the house we went for the fuel line and some tools. We loaded the tool box, fuel line and a couple of small clamps into the truck. We drove back to where the gentleman was. The design for the fuel line had a little bit of an angle so the guy had to drive the bike back to his house with the fuel tank up a bit. He thanked Larry for his help. He got the bike started and headed towards his house, we followed him for a bit to make sure it would stay running.

   

During the day Larry did a few little projects. The first project was rebuilding a small shelving unit in a outside storage area of the Minnie where he stores knickknacks. The second project was making a metal plate to attach the temperature gauges for the freezer and refrigerator in the Minnie. The gauges are magnetic so he bought a metal cookie sheet from the Dollar Tree and used that as material for the project. 

While Larry was doing his projects I read and worked out with Just Dance for a half hour. Then we watched an episode of GizWiz and YouTube videos.

I have four different Just Dance programs I use when I work out. Larry was reading the adds for Black Friday and saw that Walmart had Just Dance 2018 on sale for $19.00 and it usually is $40.00. They were going to open up at 6:00 pm today for an early Black Friday. After dinner we went to Walmart, it was swamped, the parking lot was almost full. When we got inside you could barely move around, there were people pushing carts full of items. We weaved our way through the crowd to get to the electronic area. Walmart was well prepared for the crowd, they had employees all over the place to assist customers. We asked a worker about Just Dance 2018 for the Wii and he knew exactly where it was and handed us one. When we went to check out we had to wait in line. They had every cash register open. The customers had to wait until an employee directed them to which cashier to go to. It really didn't take as long as we were afraid of we were back to the house before 7:00. 

New Just Dance program

After going to Walmart we watched another American Experience documentary. The documentary was called Henry Ford and it was about Henry Ford's legacy. It was very interesting and I learned a lot about Henry Ford that I didn't know. We had a super Thanksgiving.
