Just to say...
it will be short posts through this project, as necessary. One cannot perpetrate a crime and report in detail; it's counterproductive.
Most actions must take place while SS is away or distracted [sleeping, eating, playing solitaire, or otherwise indisposed because of necessary activities of daily living (ADL)]
Just as a side note, ADL is a real acronym, used for example, in occupational therapy.
Bird out of trunk. Needs more thawing.
On front porch inside a clean, empty porcelain planter.
PLAN: After tonight's movie, get it in the house and figure out next step.
PROBLEM: I got sleepy and forgot, went to bed before SS. Very cold outside, Did not promote thaw. But..there's progress...I mentioned it casually in the car and set the stage... "I finally have time to do something with the turkey", but of course, there's the washing, and the brining, (I can fudge all this in a vague timetable to steal more thawing time), and the air-drying.. he's all for it; no worries...."take your time...(I LOVE NO TIME PRESSURE; but 18 days?)...just take a good sniff, though".
OK! sooo OK!
I must hash out my schedule, because I also have 3 King's crowns to make for the Christmas pageant Dec.19. THAT is actually more important than this gig. Again, if worse comes to worse (time wise, for example) we WILL abort.

p.s.
I can already hear the Mission Impossible soundtrack in my head. Gotta have music. Get in the groove. We can do this.
