Did you get any good parts?
Merry CHRISTmas!
The family decided we all would take it easier than usual this year. All of us have been laying out so much money on our various projects we didn't all want to go into the new year in hock. But we still had a lot of nice things to exchange.
I got some cool videos......one is a Monster Garage one with Bill Hines and crew chopping that 54 Chevy, the other one is Hot Rods, Rat Rods, and Kustom Kulture. Also a book entitled Dream Garages and a Craftsman tool set that will stow under the passenger seat on my 23. Another gift was a new cell phone that has lots of stuff I need to figure out like a camera and some GPS thingamabob. (I'm SO good with electronics :rolleyes:)
Last but not least I got a "Cat Fishing rod setup." You can cast a mouse across the room and retrieve it. So far all the cats we have encountered love it, but they are holding out longer than my casting arm. I've had to hide it for a while to get a rest.:D
My best gift though was getting to spend Christmas day with Don, Taylor, and Dan.

Don
i got the nintendo wii with wii fit plus and zelda game. a bunch of gift cards. scarf, pants, and a snuggie. i made out like a fat cat. :LOL:
I got a propane forced air heater for the garage and a movie and puzzle to share with the family. Somewhere around the house, I also have an old rubber toy tractor, but my wife can't remember where she hid it.
I got to spend the afternoon and evening with the grandkids. the best gift was, like Don, spending time with the kids.
Ken
15" of snow and 40 mph winds!!!! Bah, Humbug....
This is my favorite present.
Got the wife some front load maytag machines.
And I got a Banjo and a new 64 bit computor Plus I got to spend the last
week in the hospital with inflamed lungs and the flu.
Still can't eat right thanks to the strong meds.
God I hate being sick URRRRRRRR.
Sorry that was so big!
Since we're building the new house we opted not to give each other presents.
We'll wait until we move in and see what we need...then give each other something we really really need.
But a week or less before Christmas I got something I could've done without...
I broke the wife's car. (The `47 Ford.)
Nothing too serious...run bearing has ruined the back left hub.
And flogged universal in back right axle.
Sigh.
If (repeat if) we can get the parts we'll be back on the road by New Year.
not a damn thing no family neither! was kinda nice!
Got a trip to Florida to watch Cardinal baseball spring training from my wife. I must have been reaaaaalllllyyy good!
Dave, the problem is you did not keep all of it. There's nothing to stop the wind between Madison & KC but a barbed wire fence and I think it's down! We had the same winds, but 'only' seven or eight inches of snow for Christmas Day - drifts to the fence tops:eek:Quote:

Well, I heard it was kind of dry down in Kansas Rog, so I just took the south fence down so we could share a bit of our snow with you!!!!! What a guy, huh????:LOL::LOL::LOL:
Besides snow, Ice, wind - My wife gave me (no not the snow, Ice, and wind) a new aluminum race jack. I gave my old very heavy race jack to my son... so it is a gift that kept on giving.

Vara I was the same for 2 weeks after my recent surgery. I finally bought some activa yogurt after three people raved about it, and it worked well on setting my stomach straight!Quote:

Santa bought me a nice spotting scope for being able to see the targets at a hundred yards, and my wife got me several nice things including a flannel shirt, and socks(yes from Costco, Don, they really are the best!)
Other than that, upon coming home from work Christmas, the dogs gave me a royal greeting full of licks and hugs. Not too bad!:cool:
I got a tablet for my 3-d program, some clothes & got to play with the grandson some.
SG4356 what kind of headlight mounts did you get? Don't see any listed at the Don's in Tuscon http://donshotrodshop.net/CandyPress...s/prodList.aspQuote:

Dave, Only 15"? I got 40" (that's the gift that keeps on giving) 12 loads of snow in a 6yd. dumptruck just in my shop parking lot
No cars or parts...:( But, got a PS2 (since the PS3 is not backwards compatible until I go home and find an old one) Then I got the standard array of car guy games...NFS Underground, Most Wanted, Gran Turismo 3 and 4. Also got Medal of Honor 3 pack with Rising Sun and San Andreas(when they find my frickin packages in the PO conex :( ). My wife is looking for Fast and Furious game, NFS 2, Carbon, Pro-street and Undercover for car games, Scarface, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and 3, and a few others. Anyone have any suggestions on good car games with classic cars that you can build up maybe rag racing or even a nascar game that has the old school NASCAR cars from the days of Richard Petty.
A great day with family and a surprise from my wife, a 1941 Chevy PU that I had been wanting.
