Another Thanksgiving goes down in the history books. Hope you all had a good meal with pleasant company to enjoy being thankful for this & that.

Thanksgiving morning I got out my honing stone & honing oil. I have a honing stone about 10 inches long by about 1½ inches wide and ¾ inches thick. One side has a rough grit and the other a fine grit. Got out the carving knife and honed it sharp enough to cut writing paper. It done the job on carving the turkey. First time I honed a knife in a long time.

Today I got up and had my morning coffee and a couple chews of tobacky. Read the Internet news

Just finished my breakfast of porridge with a banana, two hard boiled eggs plus my rosemary tea to go with it.

May go to the gym this afternoon and pick up a pick four number before the evening draw. Did not play lottery yesterday or today's mid-day.

0940 cane out last night and I had 0490 chosen among my list which is not a large list. The X940 was a repeat from the 11/16 eve draw. I had the 0XX0 selected for exact and I had worked on the middle pair.
