Oh yeah I did find out today that my little indoor outdoor WiFi Feit camera stores the videos on my phone as a thumbnail but my phone videos stores at a regular size.
Ok, it’s time for Team USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸 vs Team Wales 🏴🏴

I've been wondering about you. Hello 🤗 I saw that on the news today 😊 it was 15°f half the night and most of the morning. I hope you're staying warmer 🤞😊
So what are you doing? I bought 2 pie pumpkins the other day and had to have my son come to my rescue with a knife that works for him like an ax 😁on camping expeditions 😁 even still I had to go get my piece of 2×4 that I had on hand for him to be able to chop them just in half.... Jeesh I'm just trying to make a pumpkin pie 🥧 . The 2 of them are cozily steaming in the oven.
They are done and I got about 8 cups of pumpkin and 4 pumpkin skins as hard as wood and a whole bowl of pie pumpkin seeds 😋
And well... I've had Sapphire since May of 2007. This is the first year I've been able to hear him crunching his leafy greens. He lets me come in, take pictures videos and backrubs and when I'm done he goes back to eating. I always had to sneak in before 😁. This year he just goes back to eating when I'm done bugging him 😁🤗🐢

So you guys stressing about Christmas....realx....you've already got a multi-week head start on me, and I'm cool.......so relax and enjoy it, it all gets done somehow, right? In jeffs world....."Christmas" (sorry big guy) doesn't even show up on my radar till AFTER Jeff's BD in a couple weeks, once that "singularity" has passed, then there's Christmas.
You are a Baker Ms Cathie? True Bakers I've been told, only cook with gas. my neighbor years ago wrote a bunch of baking books....and she told me that. We don't see someone cleaning a pumpkin too often anymore. That's some good stuff you have there!
Kerry picked up Dad so he's down for a week or so and she loves to bake for the holidays so the house will be smelling good this week!
My kids were all going to their Moms for Thanksgiving this week and I usually stop by for a bit before going over the bridge but this year their mom's husband has covid so she's going to cook it all, then send-a-meal all packaged up, to Aunt Pats via one of the kids, who will entertain the troops at her home. At least that's what I got out of the last intel brief but of course I've offered for everyone to come over to Kerry's so we'll see. LOL

I cooked a ham a couple weeks ago, then the turkey a few days ago. Thanksgiving is just another day here at the turtle farm, no big deal. My daughter and I had an understanding many years ago: I love the way my house smells when a turkey is cookin' away in the oven, and she likes to make turkey dinner at her house, so we both just have our own day.
Then I had turkey soup a couple days ago, but it didn't turn out very good. But I'm lovin' those turkey sandwiches.
I asked my friend, Google, if the two stores where I do my grocery shopping will be open on Thursday (the day I normally make my one trip into town each week), and she said yes, they're both open. So Thanksgiving is just another day here. . . post office to get my mail, grocery shopping and maybe the gas station, if needed.

When I first read your post. I thought you were trying to cut pre-made frozen pumpkin pies in half. 🤣
I would bet to say, I have never had a pumpkin pie made from scratch.
Do you use the skins for anything?
If any of you are cooking a rump roast for Thanksgiving. The way to know it is cooked properly. Is when the rump roast quits farting.😁

Ray my friend, you are a twisted man. I started thinking "350F after yo....."LOL
You are missing something good....homemade scratch apple and pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ms Cathie is going to make something really good if she doesn't burn them<LOL>....it's easy to do with pumpkin.
It's takes a LOT of work to do them, but that's why we only do it once or twice a year. I was already in love with Kerry by our 1st Christmas, but the pies.....yeah, they told me how sure that SHE was! I really appreciated the effort and results! She glowed with pride, it was cute to watch. If you have kid kicking around too close, or a close friend that you can bribe or guilt into making one with you and Rose, it would be a fun project....you might even get it right! Tastes very different from the commercial or the Can though.
Y is some kinda cook! I'll bet her home smells great all the time! I'm missing something though because I don't see the correlation between the Tort farm and cooking major meals? I'm slow on the uptake and I was "on the deck" so be patient please....I do know some folks cook large meals as a matter of course then consume them during the week....is that what I'm missing?
I am a sucker for home cooked meals....and the younger girls, I'm sorry but they don't cook anymore. It's funny but honestly, the older I got, the more important home cooked meals became in the dating equation! Kerry is the oldest girl I ever dated. I just kept going up in age till I hit the jackpot(I'm teasing).... smart, self-secure, capable, established, a mom & can COOK! BINGO! oh yeah, and she likes me....guess that part is a little important too.
So glad tomorrow is a "friday" for me, SO glad, even though I'm buried at work.....
and congrats to you that had off today or this week or the ones I'm becoming more and more envious of, you retired guys.....that's a new emotion for me too....envy...never really had that b4 but maybe it's just 65 yr old "burnout" LOL

The only way I ever eat a piece of pumpkin pie is if it's made with a pie pumpkin. These 2 for a dollar each gave me 10 cups of pumpkin which is 5 pies. That's 40 cents for pumpkin per pie all day (cheap cheap) and it tastes so good 😊 and well that's why chefs gain a bit 😊 But oh my garsh I had to have my son chop it with a great big knife and pound on that knife with a piece of 2×4 just to cut them in half 😜then I had to do 2 hours in the oven steaming them. Today I processed the batch into batches for baking pies. Tomorrow I'll be a baking. It's sooo worth it 🤗
What's funny about these pumpkin skins is I could actually make something out of them.🤗😁it would be like doing a craft with dried balloon gourds which I've done before. I've made little drums with balloon gourds and these are really close to the same hardness.🐢
Eeekkk I'm so glad I decided not to do rump roast 😁 well we're just doing turkey 🥧
Wow I'm so far behind on the holiday cooking and all the other stuff too so I can't just sit and eat leftovers darn it 😋😜 I'm doing pumpkin pie from scratch because I finally found pie pumpkins. This will be the first year I'm actually going to cook turkey for Thanksgiving for several years. Joe will be happy 😁 but he'll eat anything I cook cause he'll anything that doesn't eat him first 😂 yea it'll be just another day around here too😘.
Out of the ordinary visitor while kayaking this morning.
I felt my next door neighbors needed one of my ugly homemade deep dish pumpkin pies. It's my first time doing deep dish pies with fresh pumpkin
so you can imagine. Rusty has been mowing our yard for years and came down with cancer and I really wanted to just help them both in some small way. Joyce is on oxygen but has been sticking by him like he's stuck by her all these years. I know they'll like the pie plate at least 🤗
