Having spent the last 4 days under the van getting it started and running,
I was itching to drive it out to the Thanksgiving edition of TNSS.

Bikes are loaded... let's go! Amy took Kaiden out there for a while too,
but she took the other car.

Ryan finishes up a lap...

with Toobs and Rich,

And Ferg, and Aspen, and Bgreen.

It's a drive-by!

Last year's Turkey Day TNSS was a huge hit, so we drug all the tools
out again to fry up another coupla turkeys.

Something's missing...

The participants and food begin to gather.

Susan watches Lola, Amy watches Kaiden, and Yater watches his Tall Boy.

Grumbles! Scott made an appearance just to bring us some fryin' oil!

Let's hear it for Stan's NoTubes.

"What am I missing? What's Turkey? Can I have some?"

Rev warms up the crowd.

And then drops the first turkey in.

No boil over... no boil over...

Jeff limps in whith a busted up wheel, and Toobs and Brad laugh.

The women's corner.

Ben is so two-faced. (haha)

Woo hoo... leftover birthday cupcakes!

Trying not to break into the food...

Now, was that really necessary? Brad works on his stuffing.

Of course.

Bgreen veggies.

Toobs' score.

Mary Ann and Tim.

Amy starts up the stove to make another batch of stuffing. Can't have
too much!

Reflecto shot off of... what else? The van.

Deep fried bubbly goodness.

Put... the knife... down.

Ha! Tex the dog figured out what leashes do!

Yater and Rachel, in the most unflattering photo ever. Sorry.

Mmmm. Bird.

"Uhhh... yeah, it's done."

Cut her up then!

NOW we can dig in!

"Happy Thanksgiving... blah blah blah. Let's eat!"

The roll is good, but it's taking valuable plate real estate that could
have hosted more of that incredible sweet potato casserole.

Cope.

Nanna Hill's contribution to the meal. Concentrated Yeast Extract...
yum!

Tim and his pants!

Kaiden decided it was time to go home, and Brad was powerless to dissuade
him.

Tim, for all his powers, could not convince him either. Exit Amy and
Kaiden, stage left.

Lt. Dangle holds court.

Cosby and Chip discuss something.

And Dave finishes a fine meal. Great time again this year! When we moved
down here to Dallas, we worried that we wouldn't find good friends to
ride with. We are truly thankful that we were totally wrong.
