Good morning.

Everybody, welcome to a drop of McLaugh.

Thanks for joining me here today.

Most Thanksgiving episode.

I hope everybody had a great, just a glorious Thanksgiving with your family and everything went well.

Hi, myself.

I did, to a point.

We had an unfortunate death.

My wife's cousin, my wife's dad's cousin passed away unfortunately so we had to go down

after thanksgiving downstate to a funeral so that put a wrench in our plans and this sad situation

i'm not going to start off this episode that way but just an unexpected death to a guy close to my age.

So just like tough, tough situation.

But anyways, I hope everybody's doing well.

I am doing good.

I haven't had an episode in a while just because of that and the Thanksgiving and everything

last week got a little hectic.

But here we are.

We are into December. Everybody, it's crazy. Lots to catch up on. Just some, you know, personal stuff. Everybody asks me, I get emails all the time. You know, how's it going? How are the chickens? How are the boilers? How are the kids? How's the house? A lot of you like this portion of the episode. A lot of you don't like it. So I'm going to, you know, I'm still going to do it. If you don't like it, fast forward to the hockey stuff, whatever suits you. The boilers, like, listen, if you listen to this show, you know that the boiler in my house has been a huge point of contention.

It's been a labor of love, but it definitely hasn't been, you know, easy. But I tell you what,

I got that thing dialed in right now, and it is just beautiful.

The beautiful thing about just throwing wood into a boiler and just letting her rip,

and coming back, you know, 10 hours later, and it's still piping hot is a beautiful thing to see.
