    25% increase in goods in 2025 and beyond??? What are you talking about? I’ve heard no such projections. I’d like to see the data, care to share?

    Good Saturday Morning All :hattip:.

    Another Drone filled night :eek:. My neighbor and his son went drone chasing to try to get closer to the area they are flying in. They described one as a Christmas drone with multi-colored lights flashing :facepalm:. Could some be either small aircraft or helicopters???That is the question :D.

    Have a good Saturday :thumbsup:, stay warm and (sorry Mark and Jim but) "GO NAVY" :yay:

    Good Morning Bob and Ken, please be careful with the way these posts are going. The Mods look for key words and like to drop the Ban Hammer for politics (30 days...ask me how I know). I don't want to see anyone get a ban :(.


    Good Morning Mark :hattip:. We get to sit back and watch a good game. First game was November 29, 1890. A long tradition :thumbsup:. Hate to say it but the Midi's won 24 to 0 :facepalm:.

    Good Saturday Morning Jim :hattip:. Enjoy the game today. Going to be too cold to do anything else here :D(thats my excuse and I will stick by it as long as the wife lets me :rolleyes:)

    Have a good day, stay warm and safe :fistbump:

    Good morning. The pulled ham came out so much better than I expected. The pineapple/apricot glaze was over the top delicious. I am going to wait till after Christmas and pick up another ham, they might be on sale for even less. In total the entire cook took 12 and a half hours. Going to stop by my sister's home and drop off some of the ham then swing by cousins' home to drop off a big container to her daughter. She has a family of 5 and has not had a lot of time to cook.

    Pics, getting ready to wrap, final ham then pulled.

    I snuck the wifes gift :santa: in when she was watching TV and wrapped it when she went to aerobics :thumbsup:. She knows I got her something but doesn't know where it is :). I hate going out shopping this close to Christmas as there are too many crazy people out on the roads.

    Have a good day, stay warm and be safe :thumbsup:

    And I thought the wife and I were the only Bah Humbug's around. Haven't had a tree in years and we do swap gifts (nothing expensive). Our winter vacation is our gift. We also are ready...all packed and ready to go :thumbsup:

    Good morning from the farm. The fiber internet was installed yesterday and it is such a treat! So fast 1.1 gbps actual upload speed. We could’ve got the faster package, but this is great!
    Wife is with me this weekend. What a blessing this project is complete. Started in April of 2022. Need to shoot a couple videos for the YT channel to wrap it up this month.
    Really low key stuff today. Going to a local farm stand. Stop at the meat market. All local grass fed organic beef, free range yard bird, pork. You can buy a whole or half beef… they also process deer, etc.
    Then we’re going to discover the local springs. Haven’t really seen them all yet.
    Now that it’s chilly, should be no crowds.

    @1buzzbait LOL :thumbsup: maybe if we Airbnb the place? But I’m afraid the pond would be empty afterwards! :D

    My wife and I don't usually do for each other at Christmas (too many grands and great grands to do for) but I thought I'd surprise her with a new car early present... took delivery of a 24 RAV4 SE Hybrid mid-September. I know it's sound technology that's been around for quite a few years and the gas mileage is impressive. That's her 19 CH-R in the background...absolutely flawless vehicle itself. Merry Christmas Tammy!
