I'm totally torn. We're celebrating Thanksgiving over the weekend not on the actual holiday so I'm thinking about going out shopping on "Black "Friday. I cannot tell you how much I hate that it's been moved to the actual holiday but James need jeans. Decisions, decisions
Safe Travels... have so much fun!Am I the first one up?Getting ready to leave for our adventure soon!!!
What stores are calling Black Friday sales have been starting on Thanksgiving evening for a while. I hate the idea of encouraging them but James' favorite jeans are going to be half price. I miss the days of 3 am on Friday stats to the salesWhat the what?! Why Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving?!
Then you said Black Friday was moved to Thanksgiving, itself? I'm so confused!
I've been looking with no luck so far generally don't mind the mobs at that store. I wish I could send the guys by themselves but they'd come home with things not on the list.

Thank you!! Ugh I don’t get up early!You kids have fun and be careful. Have been up for hours here
Thanks Figgy!!
Thanks!@93boomer , Oh boy, a car trip! It's been well over a year since I've been on one. (We keep patching up the old jalopy, and more or less keep it running for our local activities.) If it's going to break down, I'd prefer it be closer to home, than hundreds of miles away!
Safe travels to you and Mr. Boomer, and enjoy the scenery along the way!
Thank you!
Thank you! Hope so too!
I've tried to make that my life's ultimate purpose. Myself, my two daughters and two (maybe three) of my grandchildren were born with that gene. Makes me proud of them and that I was able to pass that along two more generations.
I used to keep one of those in the trunk (boot) of my Cadillac as a spare. ☺My first car was a red mini
Pretty much like this one

But with a fully rebuilt motor . Not good for much above 80mph but it got there quick and there wasn't a lot of need to slow for corners
.
My first NEW car was a 1970 Buick Skylark. Driving on the interstate one day I decided I wanted to see how fast it would go. I put the peddle to the metal and it seemed to take forever to get from 65 to 100 mph. I stopped there because those were the days of the bias ply tires and the thing started to shake really badly, so my racing days ceased right there. I have been up to 90 recently with my VW with no shaking at all. Just smooth and that didn't take long to get there. Those turbo's are magical.
To put it all in perspective though the speed limit in many places around here is 75 mph, so 80 is just cruising speed a lot of the time.
It is quite economical to rent a car for such a thing. If you have no car payments at all then those banger's are great locally. But, since you have no car payments you can easily afford a week or so rental. Shop around, within reason, they are all new (ish) cars that are rented out. It is a very competitive market. And be on your way, that is what retirement is for, being idle in a new place, road trips fit that perfectly.@93boomer , Oh boy, a car trip! It's been well over a year since I've been on one.
