The Thanksgiving homeless meal was perfect today, weather was good, and we fed for 90 minutes!
The homeless meal went well today, and we fed 381 homeless people a hot meal. The turkey was heated in turkey gravy on propane, then moved to the serving roaster.
We served turkey in gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, cole slaw, fruit salad, and three different drinks.
We had a lot of help on the line.
We even had a church elder on the drinks, everyone pitched in:
We ran 26000 watts of generators to keep these roasters all hot:
This was the largest feed yet, and the leftovers will go to the Denver House to feed them another meal or two!
It is always a special blessing to be GOD's hands for one day! We harvested a massive number of smiles, and made a lot of people very happy!
Everyone was full, and we even fed several pooches today. The sky was clear and the temperature was 67 degrees. It could not have been more perfect!
That is awesome. Thank you for helping do this. It makes me so sad when people seem to forget that homeless people are... people.
They are interesting people in a bind. Some are there by choice, and will remain there, BUT they still need to Eat!
But as you say they are People and should be treated as such!

:)>Awesome work to all those helping out. Are the homeless numbers increasing in the area?

I am proud of my crew! They are doing such a good job serving the food, it makes it easier to do the work.
With the Mayor attacking the homeless; he has run off some, but they like our food more.
:)>Haha the Mayor can't run them off permanently as the food you all serve is to good :-)

It does draw them in, LOL! He has tried to run us off once already.
:)>such a humble act of humanity!❤️❤️
We all need help sometimes. They are good people!
:)>Sir smithlabs! Great job y'all did. Is that the same tent set up you guys have always had? 381 is alot of people. Where do they eat at?
They really showed up, it was good to see!
Same equipment, we used it all hard, and got them all fed....
We fed again on Thanksgiving day, at the Denver house. Numbers were good!
°
:)>How do you know someone isn't just stopping by for a big, free meal who isn't homeless?
After seven years, we know them. BUT we feed anyone who shows up, regardless.
I am sure there are some that take advantage. We don't worry about it, and let GOD sort that one out....
:)>What if they show up to work but need a meal for fuel first?
We feed them, we have help that is also homeless. They need to eat! I am preparing a post on the dinner we just did at the Denver house.
:)>ok, I'll try to contain my excitement.
Wouldn't want you to get excited, Momma might have to slap you down....
:)>That's true, she doesn't tolerate irrational exuberance!
Figured as much, trying to keep you from getting califlower ears....
:)>Ha! Thanks I appreciate that!
Always looking out for you, LOL! Good she keeps you in line....
:)>Yeah I guess. lol.
When you getting smart and coming to Weku? Got several there still waiting for you to grace that blockchain with your sunshine. Can't understand why....
:)>Well I was waiting to see what happens with their coin. Now I'm waiting to see what happens with steemit and steem. I don't understand why either.
They are sitting about 15 cents, I haven't looked at steemit lately.
BUT they even allow Texans there, LOL!
:)>But mepatriot says you have to use your cell phone and that's why he doesn't like it, what's that about?
I don't know, I didn't have to. But he doesn't want to get a cell phone, because he thinks that it will be used against him. If my cell becomes a liability, I will disable it.
I am at (82) and $37k on weku, and hoping that they delay launch a little longer to help me run it up some more.
His flag troll would Not be allowed there!
:)>So you are saying that you DON'T have to have a cell phone? He thinks you do. 82 and 37K! lol..what a joke! I guess the jokes on me if that holds true. I don't even have time to answer my steemit comments, let alone more from weku.
He doesn't have a cell phone, My wife bought me a leash decades ago.
Yup, they appreciate daily postings! The value has gone from a couple of cents to about fifteen. The longer they delay launch, the more I can build up; so, so far so good.
You are the main volume of comments I have on steemit....
:)>How many comments do you do on weku? and don't tell me you type with one hand for steemit and one hand for weku!
Now that's an idea, LOL! Leftie, rightie on a split screen...I might try that!
I do about three times more there, IF I don't count You. I usually have half a dozen or so a day there.
I have a lot more Fun there, and I don't have any troll problems!
:)>Well if they put up with you they must be pretty tolerant. What do you think your account will actually be worth, one tenth the amount in real dollars if you were to cash out?
They are running about 15% right now. But I am just hard headed enough to keep it and see what it will do down the road.
15% of how much did you say?
Today it is $37,172.57, but it is building a lot faster than on steemit.
:)>Is the platform growing faster?
Don't know, but it is more fun there anyway! Since they are not blocking new accounts, I suspect so. Still working on both....
:)>There's no way you can do a spit screen and do both at once!
Trying to figure out the keyboard and mouse....
Already use a split screen on my Autocad computer.
:)>No way..what is an Autocad?
Electronic drafting program. It is designed for split screen to allow larger drawings.
:)>Oh ok, well that sounds exciting.
Not your run of the mill software. CAD programs run from free, up to $35,000.00. Mine is in the $5,000.00 type.
AutoCAD was the first big CAD program. After I finish the modifications to the small mill, I will add CAM to it.
