At daughter’s place… SIL and I may install a 10’ long by 2’ wide footbridge we built Thursday over a creek on the path where he jogs… the creek is about 0.2 miles down the path and the bridge weighs about 300 lbs, so we may not get it installed…
@baqui63 We got the bridge installed… getting it there was easier than expected.
Also met the guy whose house is closest to the bridge and he was very happy about it… means his kids won’t have to cut across a neighbor’s yard taking the shortcut to and from school. (A good thing, since my SIL technically didn’t have permission to put up a bridge there.)
At work, which may or may not be hectic in principle, because while we are having a sale it’s not as good as Black Friday deals, but we will be understaffed so it will probably be hectic and I am preemptively pissed off.
@Kyeh Yes, I am the one who wants but shouldn’t buy this thing! And I just saw it on Morningsave for $10! I don’t understand the pricing between the sites. At all.
I work IT for a retail company. They are paying my developers and me an obscene hourly rate to stand in the middle of the store holding a sign saying this is the end of the line or please keep this walkway cleared.
It will cost you your soul, plus $9.95 for the one-year extended warranty.
It is free, but can only be redeemed in a place where the parking is $35/hr.
It sold out at 7:02AM, two minutes after the doors opened; you are too late.
The entire supply of BF is stuck on a container ship that is anchored off San Francisco awaiting a dock slot. Fourteen of the crew members are now missing, and the captain believes that the cargo has gone feral and has started eating them.
Weirdly enough, being bombarded with deals overwhelms me to the point that I don’t even want to look at any of them. It just kind of makes me feel panicky.

We have new intel about Ma-Ma, and we’ve managed to get a 10-24 call to Control. Parameters are shifting. What are our options, Anderson?
ANDERSON
Find a position to defend, or keep moving and attempt to avoid further detection. Same as before. Except now at least we know back-up is inbound.
DREDD
You’re giving us two options. Defend or hide.
ANDERSON
Yes, sir.
DREDD
What about we attack? Head straight for Ma-Ma.
ANDERSON
… Is that an option?
DREDD
She’s guilty. We’re judges.
ANDERSON
Sir – if back-up is inbound we should wait until the odds have shifted in our favour.
I spent a small part of the afternoon checking on the prices of a few things that I’d been considering. All of them had gone up. I decided that at least for now, I really needed none of them.
Work.

@mossygreen Aren’t you the one who wants this thing? I think it’s a little higher on Sidedeal than it was during the Mehrathon but still pretty good:
@Kyeh Yes, I am the one who wants but shouldn’t buy this thing! And I just saw it on Morningsave for $10! I don’t understand the pricing between the sites. At all.
@mossygreen Ooo, even better. Yeah, it’s very strange how the prices vary.
It’s not that big …
Walking around Christmas decorations and light displays, not the ones at the mall. What better way to burn off yesterday’s meal?
Traveling back to the metroplex
@ironcheftoni I’ll wave when we pass.
Home, computer emails, computer shopping, home repairs, etc.

@show_the_maw so who did they pay when people ignored you?
Alice’s Restaurant

@llangley Oh so you finally found it. It is about time!
@mycya4me It was just a half a mile from the railroad track!

At your mom’s house burning the Turkey Day calories.
@Dizavid I thought you and some friends would be helping your step-sister heat up some meat on the grill.
Out in the fresh air, playing golf.
I have a doctor appointment this morning, then picking up an order from Best Buy I bought on Monday, then home for the day.
Taking hubby to the doctor, missing all the good sales.
Thinking about binge watching Tiger King 2 on Netflix. So far, it’s just as “can’t stop watching” as season 1.
And whether I should get these over on Morningsave.
Home, trying to catch up a little on the task list.
I always thought BF was a day, but now you are saying it is something we can spend? Is it an NFT? How much is it worth?
@rockblossom
I am in the matrix
@fairchild521 and I am not going to buy a single thing today except maybe toilet paper.
At work which is super hectic, but not black friday related. Well at least not the one you mean

@Kyeh
@rockblossom Ugh, they just showed aerial views of the jam-packed parking lots at nearby shopping centers. A variety of hell in my opinion.
My annual Black Friday Boardgames day!
Netflix seems devoid of content. So
