Diane and I woke up in time to catch the sunrise.. even got a movie of it 🙂
We all spent the day cleaning out the houses.. 18 people can really make some epic messes ! It was fun talking while we did it. Even took time to work on a puzzle together.
We left for Houston about sunset and headed to billy and shawns. We picked up some sushi for dinner .. Cousin Leslie and Brett came by to say hi too. So great seeing them !
heading home early tomorrow

Family started leaving today. John. Mary, Ellery, Jake, Theo and Mom headed back to Minnesota.. yesterday.. . Diane and I woke up at 4 to take Gabe and Sam to the Airport which was nearly 2 hours drive . The rest of us had a quiet day of crabbing in billy and shawn’s swamp land. Bill took a shot at drone fishing. He used his drone to drop bait about 300 yards off shore.. Pretty cool. Max heraded out in late afternoon. It was so good seeing those guys !
Nice family time

Great post thanksgiving day. Everyone just hung out and talked.
It was my brother in law Johns 59th birthday.. so we did some of that
We decided to do a family project as is our tradition. Todays project was to build a Boomstick (aka plasma gun) . I like calling it that because Sam had this Boomstick shirt
This build involved a couple of hardware store runs and some missapplied food shopping (ie.. we needed the containers.. not the food or drink inside them)
The basic operation is simple. you use a propane/MAPP rorch and run the output through clear vinyl tubing. You can run the tubing any way you want. When you fill the tube with gas an ignite it.. a small flame follows the tubing making cool sounds until it comes tot eh exit barrell which is made from a plastic bottle. there the gas has air to burn and makes a satisfying bang.
Love this family !
