What jobs are you finishing before the long weekend?

Thanksgiving week is almost here, and a lot of us are probably trying to wrap up a few machining jobs before taking a break. Anyone finishing up something specific before shutting things down for the long weekend?

Some machinists rush to finish small batches, quick prototypes, or cleanup tasks so they do not return to a messy shop after the holiday. Others focus on maintenance, organizing tools, or getting their machines in a good state to sit for a few days.

If you have a pre-holiday routine or a “must finish” job you always clear before Thanksgiving, what does that usually look like for you?

I’m just finishing the parts I paused right before the break. Didn’t want to rush them last week and mess up tolerances. Now I’m taking my time, getting them dialed in, and trying not to slam the machine with anything big right after a food coma.
