Grasshopper No.2 hosted Thanksgiving. All the food offerings were healthy!
I always wanted to be taller. 5′ 10″ is short for most athletes (I consider myself an athlete). Grandson’s Grant and Mitchell are changing tradition. Grant measures slightly over 6″ 3″ and his brother Mitchell is over 6′ 1″. Our family will never be the same.
Mitchell is a starting forward/center for the JV high school basketball team. He actually beat out a 6′ 7″ “dude”. He can not dunk the basketball but he can get his hand over the rim.
Staying on the subject of Grandsons, Wednesday was Tommy’s birthday. This year his birthday was really close to Thanksgiving so the celebration gets “spread out”. Happy birthday Tommy.
Our Thanksgiving meal was arranged around the Green Bay Packer game. That plan never works right because of the complexities of food preparation and it always takes longer to eat than planned. As it turns out, the Packers sucked and eating was a better alternative.
We traveled over to Madison Wednesday and during the day (as it got colder) my dashboard icon for low tire pressure came on. Having just changed to snow tires, I figured that the tire company screwed something up. The tires looked okay. Several years ago, I had the warning of low tire pressure and it turned out to be the tire in the trunk (our spare). It dawned on me that our car is always kept in a protected garage at temperatures that are above freezing. The spare tire temp had probably dropped to 5 degrees. Pressure drops with temperature. Yep, the spare tire pressure was low again. Years ago when things were simple, I would not even have known spare tire pressure was low. Is it really a big deal? I hate it when dashboard warning icons come on.
And so it goes. I did my first snow blowing this morning.
Tomorrow is the “football game of the year”. Alabama and Auburn.
Love,
Dad
