Happy Thanksgiving to all my pals on the FE Power Forums!
« on: November 22, 2012, 10:18:17 AM »
Hope you all have a great turkey day.  I'm looking forward to a day off to work in the shop while the wife cranks up the Thanksgiving dinner.  Sure is nice to have a four day weekend...

Happy Thanksgiving back Jay, to you and the family and everyone else out there. With our nice weather today in Minnesota I'm taking the FE powered '66 Country Squire on a drive to the parents for dinner, certainly something to be thankful for.

Yeah!  Happy T-day to you Jay, and to everybody.  I'll be heading over to a friends house to load up on some good food and afterward is time to hit the shop for me as well.  T is also for transmission and guys, mine is going in today  ;)

Y'all,
I'll weigh in too for a Happy Turkey Day!  Thanks to Barry R for his book and having Jay's book on his website, big thanks to Jay for the book and forum, and kudos to all the forum contributors!  They have really enhanced my FE knowledge in a short time and allowed me a chance to indulge my passion for 60s Fords and FE engines.  Hope I'm able to return the favor soon, after returning from my overseas assignment.

Happy Thanksgiving ,  mine has been great, spent day with family.  Only bad thing was I ate way too much AGAIN!!   Beautiful weather today in the 60's here in Ohio.  Spent most of the day outside with the kids playing. 

I'm thankful for my family and friends (even the FE friends)...lol

Happy after-after T-Day :-)    Just got back from a nice trip to the East Coast to be with my folks. 

Had a nice time with my mom's cat!

Bill, your Mom's cat and Rob's (fetorino) ought to get acquainted; looks like they'd see things the same way!  Take a look at Rob's avatar to see what I mean LOL!

LOL!  I see what ya mean Jay.  Actually this cat really likes me, though in a very complicated way. 

When I come to visit, he runs up and rubs all over me in a big welcome. 

Then it's GAME ON!  He gets me to chase him and rough him up.  He gets nice and riled up, spitting and hissing like mad at me.  That's the picture I took...  We fight like it's a WWE cage match, though he's careful not to break skin.  After a while, he's had enough and he finds a nice spot to take a nap.

Hey, you take affection any way you can get it LOL!

I can't remember where I first saw this picture but it cracked me up.  I'm not a cat person, although we have two at the house, the litterbox and stinky food is enough for me to say no thanks.  I do like animals and Cats are pretty expressive at times for sure.  admittedly I find myself playing with our cats from time to time.

So when surfing the web you never know what you'll see GOOD or BAD.  The expression on this cat pretty much sums up the reaction to either.  Since I find myself thinking "did I just see that" most of the times I get on the web it made sense for it to be my avatar.
