I had 2 long days this week in order to have one short one on Wednesday so we could be on the road before it started snowing. Work is still crazy and likely will be until our PTA is up and running. Also everyone else at our company seems to take a lot of vacation, which makes my schedule crazy too.
We had a good crew for VB (which I know because I helped them open the gym). I was planning to start working out once my ankle felt better, but my cast has been chafing pretty bad around my thumb and I don't want to make it worse. Probably for the best for now because my ankle is still swollen.
We packed up our Ford and test drove it up to Page (which was where T-day ended up after some dispute). It drives fine, but it seems like some of the sensors have iffy connections - which ends up with the RPM gauge not working, the tire pressure sensor going off, etc and sometimes that all sets the check engine light off. But then they all go off randomly too.
Thanksgiving wasn't too stressful this year, but maybe that's because I cooked my sweet potato casserole in advance and took a nap while the kitchen was busy. We had wild turkey, store turkey, and ham. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and veggies with ranch dip. Frog eye salad, orange jello melange, and hot baked rolls. Dessert included oreo cheesecake, chocolate pudding pie, plain cheesecake, pumpkin pie, blueberry pie (my favorite, SO to Linn on that), and ice cream.

And we're still enjoying leftovers. Which I love because then I don't have to cook. Rog spent Friday hunting in 12 with his Aunt Aly. She ended up getting one the next day and he only had a little FOMO. Lots of games were played and I enjoyed a book, did some budgeting, and tried to take naps since I didn't sleep great this week.
We drove back Saturday night so Rog could help his friend's friend try to shoot an elk. He was irked when neither of them listened to his advice the first two days and set out with the expectation they could be picky in a hard hunt. Today, he was more frustrated they couldn't keep up so they didn't get to the right spot in time. But they actually saw elk with Rog there and even got a couple of (missed) shots off.
