Wow - Sorry to hear about that - Here in Berkeley? The new thing is that they know we all keep things in our cars - Laptop, GPS, ect. -

Those pies look delicious - I like the CG on top - I wish I can make it tomorrow but there's just not a way for me to do it -

You guys have a great Turkey dinner and have fun meeting folks and shooting tomorrow -

Yeah, up by the Clairemont.

The scary thing is that we had the guns in the trunk, I thought they were safe. Glad they didn't look in there. Never leaving guns in my car unattended ever again.
So bummed you can't make it tomorrow. :( Maybe we can hang out sometime this weekend anyway.

Hi all, hope your Thanksgiving is going well. 

Angie,  sorry to hear about the break-in.  That's infuriating.  BTW, I have about 5 handguns and 2 rifles in my trunk now.  I'm not at all worried here even though there's a highway right outside the front door.  I'd never leave  anything valuable in the pickup overnight at home though.

It's still raining here off and on.  Is it clearing up there?  I'm hoping for some nice weather to shoot with my son and some friends before I have to go back to Vegas.

It's been clear all day here Vegas - Should be clear the entire weekend also - Weather should clear up for you also then - Not a system in sight -

Good News!  Thanks.  Wife wants to go shopping in Phoenix tomorrow; Sports Authority sales guy said they'd have 10/22s on sale for about  $175/180.  If they do, I think I'll pick one up and do one of those folding stock assault type things with it.  I've never done  that.  J&G seems to be pretty low on stock now, so I think I'll take a shorter route home and avoid Prescott.

Speaking of 10/22 - Have you seen the conversion Ojisan is doing? Thompson kit - Looks excellent - He's trying to get it to market by Xmas - He had a picture of it in the now locked thread about nothing -

I've read what y'all have said about it here, and it seems you're pretty excited about the possibilities.  I'm waiting for you guys to go through the 1st set of kits so I can see what ideas you come up with, then I may jump in later and try it.

Since it would be unreasonable for my wife to cook--and my son and I are incompetent in the kitchen, the 3 of us went to Boston Market.  It was pretty good, but nothing like it was when my wife was able to cook and my daughter still lived close enough we could make it a real get-together for Thanksgiving. 

I hope you enjoy your time with your family.  Keep in mind you never know how many of these there are in your (or their) future, so make the most of each one.

On a side note, I've finally received that VZ-58 parts kit that I bought off the net a while back. It is in pretty good shape too.

His story was is that he lost his arse in the stock market and forgot about posting it for sale on the board.
