Thanksgiving Ponderings

[Windydoug]

So I thought of these things while waiting for the Trytophan (the stuff in Turkey that makes you sleepy) to kick in.

While enjoying a shrimp, Gorgonzola, cream cheese, and pine nut appetizer, this occurred to me.....
"Springwater Sprouts Pine Nuts come from China....are these Springwater Sprouts Pine Nuts? What if the same person that puts the lead in toys in China was putting lead in my Springwater Sprouts Pine Nuts"? Bill....have you had your Pine Nuts tested for lead? This could be the next made in China scandal......Pine Nuts with lead in them!!!!!!!!!!

Who carves the Turkey at Doc Millers house? Does the good doctor do it? Does he do a replacement on the wing/drumstick joint before it goes in the oven?

Using the widely accepted Kite to Sail size formula solve this problem:

If Chris (mostly Kitesurfer) buys an 14.8 lb turkey for Thanksgiving at his house, what does Ken rig up....I mean buy:

a) 6.5 lb cambered induced turkey
b) 9.0 lb turkey with a huge blade fin..I mean carving knife.
c) 7.4 lb turkey on his 103 ltr. platter
d) he also buys a 14.8 lb turkey, and is way overpowered and regrets it later.

After re-reading for spelling errors, I have come to the conclusion that I am not as funny as I thought....but things are slow so this is going up anyway.

Oh, I forgot answer E for the kite/sail/turkey question. Here it is:

E) Ken calls Bill.......Bill has bought a board (oops, turkey) from Jim King that is way to small for him, Ken laughs at Bill. Then Ken buys the 14.8 lb turkey and invites Bill over out of pity. Rousing political debate follows.....Bill consumes too much Lake Niagara and then bolts from Kens house yammering on about how Ken is a Kook....all will be forgotten when it blows 4.8 (or 8-10m kite)the next day. And so it goes in the soap opera "As the Wind World Turns".

Chris, the former turkey eater has converted to the trendy yet exciting Thanksgiving goose. Most are still learning this but with the goose you can cover twice the holiday range (Thanksgiving and Christmas). Setup time is much shorter as the goose is available at most neighborhood parks with no need to spend all that time at Wegmans. Point #3, the entire goose fits in the trunk of your car. Final point, they stick around all year so you can enjoy the goose in the middle of February.

However, none of this helps the fact that I still only ever have 2 hours max to get out. Since Trey moved I am still the self proclaimed king of Rochester speed rigging. I'll challenge anyone to a deul. Cartop to fully rigged and back to cartop. No one can touch me. No time for idle chit chat.

I bore, but Chris.......That's gold!
We should do a day where we all show up at Durand and race from cartop, out to the middle of the lake, and then back to cartop. My dark horse to win the race would be Joe. That guy can rig! And he has perfected the art of talking to you while he rigs......slowing you down.

Glad to see people are still checking the forum.
I'm off to Marketplace Mall to find my Christmas Goose.
