  3. Thanks, Ryan, for giving us a place to continue our foray into our madness all these years. I've been here since almost the beginning and have enjoyed contributing and ingesting the mashed taters and stuffing of this table. You get the crazy drunk uncle occasionally but that comes with the territory of family, which we are in a sense. Happy Thanksgiving to all my HAMB brethren! (PS . Ryan, Keep marinating on my recipe for mayhem and disaster here in Tucson. It will be delicious) I'm building something very similar to this picture too. asr three pipes (1).JPG

    Hello,

    After years of taking a well deserved vacation during the fall season, the football season was over for our high school team. So, for the last two years of school, we took off for Baja Mexico and the undiscovered surf spots. The first time, we had our family Thanksgiving Dinner on a Tuesday night as our dad usually got a smoked turkey from his friend in Los Angeles. It just came warm and the dinner was great. The Plus thing from the dinner was my brother and I had ½ of the large Coleman Green Cooler packed with all sorts of smoked Turkey. We even took a smaller cooler with the fixings and gravy to go with the turkey.

    We actually got tired of eating regular turkey and now the smoked turkey was going to be the standard. My mom did not like the all day cooking and preparing the whole dinner + fixings. So, when the smoked turkey was brought home, she relished the day and wanted more of the same.

    Our family had traditions like Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday night. But they knew we took off immediately afterwards for our own activities for the next few days until school started again. So, our parents allowed a change of family traditions to accommodate the two sons and their south of the border wanderings…

    So, how did a Thursday night dinner get moved? Our folks saw us getting ready for the long 4 day vacation, packing the vans and sedan delivery full of stuff. As soon as we finished the turkey, my brother and I were off to Baja Mexico. Stopping along the way in Dana Point for the important ice blocks.

    The next year, the dinner got moved to Wednesday night and we took off late that night. So, Thursday we had our own left over Thanksgiving Dinner with our surf friends on the beach in various Baja locations.
    upload_2024-11-28_12-17-40.png Even after we got married, our family dinners were in 2nd place so we could go on a surf adventure holiday. YRMV

    Finally, since now, schools realized a lot of people were taking off the whole week prior to Thursday Thanksgiving, they followed colleges with the extra days off. We all knew the school year got boosted by three days, but at the time, a week long Thanksgiving Dinner week was outstanding. So, now, our thoughts went to leaving on Friday night the weekend before, giving us 10 full days of vacation in Baja Mexico, coming home on Monday morning in time for school. Yowza !

    Yeah, you're welcome. From one sick bastard to another, thanks (I guess) for introducing all of us unsociable weirdo types to all the other unsociable weirdo types thus making us feel like we're normal. Right. At least the cars are cool. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Another year, and another Turkey day has come and gone, and its a blessing to have elastic waist bands indeed.
    Thank you @Ryan, for having the foresight and the means, to create such a cool electronic play ground, for a lot of us older geezers, to hang out and contribute, on a variety of levels.
    I thought I would post my version of what the real "ATOMIC HEADQUARTERS" might actually look like out there at Dripping Springs Texas.
    Everyone's results may vary greatly.
    Thanks from Dennis.
