I have never done Black Friday at the box stores, I hate crowds, traffic, parking, and line annoyances...lol..and crabby and grabby people...also, what they usually have good sales on is not the kind of stuff I am looking for...I didn't have children who needed a specific toy etc...I buy a lot of unique and collectible stuff for people, which never go on sale...lol...I normally get my tree today though and check out a local drug store that always has unique things for decorating etc...but, Rick has to work, hopefully, he will have Sunday off and we can get it then. All that said, I do take advantage of some Black Friday online stuff...even without that I have found some really good deals this year, some of them a matter of timing...I figured being guys, this day works for you...lol..

Certainly hope you're up to speed & feeling good Z as well of course Tarmac / Mr Guide.
Unfortunately issues are part of the territory we got to cross.
I enjoy a good Western - they had their territory issues as well; Indians, food, water - I'd call that stressful.
I best stop - very capable of turning this into a big plate of word rodeo
