I'm in the process of tracking down a leg of lamb that will be part of our Thanksgiving; Costco has experienced shortages but there was to be a truck in overnight and I'll call this morning to see if any arrived. I'll do a turkey breast, not the entire bird, and the lamb. We do what we can to celebrate with family and keep them interested in coming back by offering not just traditional foods but favorite foods.
The new antenna is assembled. I could put it in the attic but it will be more effective on the edge of the roof - there are plastic parts that spell "planned obsolescence" that I'm not happy about, but I don't know if any of them are more sturdy these days.
