That reminds me...tomorrow i'm going over to the Winfall Mall and sit on Santa's lap.

not burned- it's tender, moist, and dee-licious!

I remember Ma cooking them when my Daddy would kill one, him and my grandfather both liked to hunt turkeys. I was just a young'un, don't really remember how they were so it must not have been really good, or really bad.

AND there's no spiders, snakes, or man eating crocodiles in New Zealand!..is there?

I smoked 2 turkeys yesterday. I smoked them for 5 or 6 hours, one finished cooking in the smoker oven and I put the other one in the electric powered oven inside until the pop-up timer popped out. They get really brown on the outside, but they're never dry. One's for me, i'm going to take the other one to Cumberland so Ma and them can have some smoked turkey.

Pretty cars, the 66-67 was my favorite body style.

I got a turkey fryer for Christmas years ago and never used it, so I re-gifted it. Ever since I smoked the first one i've been smoking them ever since.

I want this one-

Thanks Paul, you have a nice Thanksgiving too- looks like you're off to a good start!

You must have ESPN.

What's with the high beams?

H.H.Moore ordered a bunch of "deer whistles" to put on all the trucks one time. It was just a little plastic thing that stuck on the bumper. They worked too, I hit more deer while I had the thing on there than I ever did before, or since. Most of the deer I see along the road don't even move when you go by, but those whistles sure made them take off at a high rate of speed. Only trouble was they were just as likely to run out in front of you as run anywhere else. I pulled my deer whistle off and threw it away.

I saw this one at a truck show, I doubt they would actually haul anything on this bed- Saw this one at a truck show too, you can haul a dozer on it.

At least I didn't rub my eyes or scratch my unit after handling the hot peppers.

Made some hot sauce today. That's my whole pepper crop after processing- Lot of work cleaning and processing- I forgot to get rubber gloves, my hands are still burning. At least I remembered not to rub my eyes or scratch my- never mind, moving on- I added some store bought sauce to make it redder, since most of the peppers were green. I like for it to be red. Got it cooking now, bottles clean and ready. Final product. Used 12 of my new bottles and recycled some I had saved.

I've been "Moonshiner" since about 1978 or 1979. They used to put our CB handle on the door at H.H.Moore's and people would ask me all the time, even at toll booths, "how'd you get that handle?..do you make it?..drink it?..sell it?..got any?" And the answer is no, well, a time or two, no, and no. It's only because I saw a red and white 68 or 69 Camaro at Richmond Dragway that was called Moonshine Runner, 10 second car, had the name and the picture of a hillbilly with a jug on the side of it. I thought that would be a good CB handle. I had a 68 Camaro at the time- it was about a 28 second car, had a 6 cylinder and 3 speed- anyhow, people just shortened it and started calling me moonshiner and it stuck, so i've been Moonshiner ever since.

Fred Craig had these GMC's in Winchester,Va. at the ATHS show in '06 or '07. The yellow one had the V12 gas engine but I must not have taken a picture of it, couldn't find it anyway. These were some of the last pictures I took with a film camera. I like the D860 in the middle, and the 7000 was the replacement for the 860.

Dammit- i'm out!

I made a pair of stilts to impress the kids once. We used to make them when I was a kid...they couldn't have cared less. I enjoyed them though- might make me a pair tomorrow.

uhh...no- why do we?
