Guess we need to be thankful for having a great bunch of people on the Barn and also having a great company running the Barn. Thank you all and thank you Ryan.

have you guys heard that Thanksgiving was originally on an earlier day of the month but that some leading retail magnate convinced FDR to change it because that somehow improved retail sales leading into Xmas?

My contribution to your thanksgiving:

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.
The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.



John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and
the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot John quickly opened the door to the freezer.



The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made
such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Haha, been all over but born in Havre, my folks still have the farm near Hingham and Gildford. My model A coupe I inherited from my grandfather who lived in Gildford. I also lived in Great falls and went to Jr. High and High School in Bozeman. My parents and inlaws still live in Bozeman.

The screen name is a holdover from another forum when I was still a montana resident. I'd love to move back someday but my flying career has taken me elsewhere.

Quite a ways from me. I had a few Thanksgivings in Montana.... Stillwater County, just east of Columbus. I ramrodded a small ranch in Rapalje a few years back. What an experience, what a state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved every minute I was there, including calving in -20 degrees average in Februaries but I've never anywhere saw so many stars at night as I did in Montana. Big Sky Country was true to Montana. OH!!! to be young again.!!!!

I had three wishes as a kid, to be a soldier, cowboy and a pro-baseball player. I accomplished two out of three and I have always thought, if the St Louis Browns were still around, I would have fulfilled that three wish. The Browns hired....anybody!!!!

Footnote: When I was there, late 80s early 90s, the ratio in Montana was seven gals to one dude. I never had a reason to search for a dance partner on Saturday nights in Billings, they found me!!! OH!!! to be young again.

A Very Happy Thanksgiving Day to ALL the Barners.
We have a lot to be thankful for and we should not forget those who are not with us and especially the Military guys and gals who are defending our country so we may enjoy our turkey...
