You gotta get organized Bob. Make the pies a day or two before the big
day. 900F heat gun? Why such a low heat weapon, the last one I bought
was 1500F, got it at Lowe's after someone brought it back so it was half
price. Pop a vinyl tile up in a heartbeat. Never tried to cook a turkey
with one but not a bad idea.

I wish I had a place to store an electric roaster. Pantry and cabinets
are completely full, mostly of canning supplies and the goodies canned
therein. Grands and greatgrands are coming today so a lot of canned
goodies will go home with them.
