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 )

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.

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.

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
We draw names and give 'wish lists' - got a new dial indicator, an assortment of 'c' clamps, a couple of metric wrenches to fill in blanks, and best of all an afternoon with all three kids and the wife. A great day!

i got another bad relationship .. got to go today and get another girl out of jail ..does`nt look like next year is gonna be any better than the last
