Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there.....even those of you who aren't Packer fans.
Have a great Holiday, eat lots of Turkey or whatever, and give thanks that we live in a country where we can speak freely, think freely, come and go freely, and watch the Vikings pull off another season ending choke.
I got my 5,000 Christmas lights up today on my house and I can't wait to see the old electric meter spin around like an out of control merry-go-round, while my wife adds up the kwh's and silently wishes I'd get electrocuted while putting them up. As soon as I hit the timer button here in the house, Lolo and most of Missoula County will have a blackout until Bonneville Power can redistribute some power this way.
I love it!!
Delta and United and Northwest Airlines, and Alaska Airlines reroute their evening flights into Missoula just so they can give the passengers a glimpse
of the western version of Clark (Sparky) Griswold and his famous lights from the movie Christmas Vacation.
If anybody is interested, I'm taking donations to help pay for this extravaganza.
:icon_smile:
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
Bob

What do you get when you combine some Sparky inspiration, an electric staple gun, a bottle of Jack Daniels within too-easy reach, coupled with a too-tolerant spouse?
Well, you get a picture of Montana Bob's house on Thanksgiving eve...

Well Bob
I was going to throw a few bucks your way to help with that, but after that Vikings comment I am now throwing my full support to the squirrels.
Word on the street is that dfosterf , squirrelly Marine that he is , has also joined the cause.
:icon_smile:
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving Bob!

Let's see dfosterf, I've got the Sparky inspiration; got the electric staple gun; got the Jack Daniels; got the tolerant wife....whoops.....scratch that last one.
But hey, 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
How'd you get the picture of my house??? Lights don't go on until 6:00 pm tonight. With any luck and a clear sky you should be able to see it in Harrisburg.

Hey Bob create your own electricity.
Get 3 squirrels to run inside a wheel that cranks a turbine that produces the electricity.
If you have 6 squirrels you can sell the excess to the local power company.
