extra puzzle pieces

 i found a way to stay occupied for most of the day, it was put together a charlie brown puzzle i had bought at MSP airport a few years back. it was 500 pieces, finished it then retired for the night. except there was three pieces left over, go figure. wonder if another puzzle is missing that many. it had many of the themes that the comic strip is known for, such as snoopy on his doghouse, as well as schroeder playing the piano. what prompted me to get it done was getting one with these characters but with a space theme from five below recently, another one i can do on the days off in december. i did watch much of the first two football games of the day. the bears found another way to lose, in the opener against the lions. kept hearing 'here we go' before plays in the second, cowboys beat the giants. i liked how jelly roll was one of the halftime performers during the second game, i have one of his CDs. i ate both of the turkey dinners to mark the holiday and drank a can of beer with both. there was bud ice for the first, and a miller with the second, so now there are three beers waiting. i had the last two english muffins as well, and the pumpkin pie. now it means figuring out what i do with the rest of the whipped topping in the can, get another half-pie maybe? before the first game i watched the macy's parade, then switched to putting in my DVD copy of the charlie brown turkey day special after seeing the 'beagle scout snoopy' balloon. no surprise how there was mention by the announcers of the specials being on the apple streaming service. there is usually a reason for why some things make appearances- as it is all about advertising. then after the second game there was 'masked singer', with a charlie brown theme. this one had mention of apple t.v. as well, along with the characters arriving from knott's berry farm. during my walks i found 1 dollar 2 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were both thanksgiving editions, no surprise there. first was when sheldon has a beer with howard's father-in-law, and we found out penny married zac in las vegas. then there was the one where the friends volunteer at a soup kitchen and howard meets elon musk. while sheldon and amy go to the aquarium.
