What'cha get for Christmas?????

[Deleted member 214]

I unwrapped a package that had two spark plug boxes in them. I was impressed that my wife researched my vehicles and got plugs but they were kinda light. I opened them to find chocolate spark plugs! She knows two of my favorite things are cars and chocolate and found these on the internet. She also got me a pair of new batteries for my DeWalt drill - she overheard me saying I needed them but was too cheap to spend the money ($70 a pop at Lowe's) and got me two! She also sponsored an acre in my name at the local national park, the site of our first date. She's a keeper! Anybody else get treated by Santa???

We treated ourselves to a trip to San Francisco. Left the morning after Christmas, and will be here through New Years untill the third. We're watching fireworks over the Bay Tomorrow night.

Times are kinda ruff for me and mine right now. I got 2 pair of pants and some jumper cables because and I quote ( you borrowed mine about a year ago and haven't given them back so I got you your own so I can get mine back) lol. But I had a very good time with close friends and family, and thats what Christmas is all about.

If those batteries you mentioned from Lowes are of the Dewalt variety, I have a suggestion. On the day after each Thanksgiving, Lowes sells the drill and two battery combo for $99. The two batteries alone are worth nearly that.

Each year, one or two of my batteries go bad, and I always have a backup. I also have a small collection of drills that range from "willing to use underwater" to "could be used in surgery".

My Christmas present is a 30x40 going up behind the house this spring. Can't wait!

bills

 

[Budnicks]

I got the bills that's for sure, but presents were the same as always, socks/underwear, aftershave, fishing stuff & my Pops buys everyone Ca. Fishing licences... I enjoy the giving to the young kids, especially preteens allot more, than the receiving gifts really, I like seeing the younger kids enjoy Christmas, I don't much care about the adults present buying thing, our family & friends pretty much have always been like that... I tell everyone usually to get the kids more stuff & don't worry about me, I buy what I want, when I need it...

I used an early version of Dragon ten years ago. I type fast, and once I got the program down it would do it as fast as I could type. I can only imagine how much better it is now.

I saw an outfit like that a month ago, but it was the regular 14.4 and not the 14.4 XRP which is a better battery. My said she found an on line sale for $50 with a $10 rebate so paid $40 each. Besides, I have my original drill, one I picked up at a garage sale, and one a buddy gave me so I didn't want another one.

Hello everyone. I got one of the best venison cookbooks in the country per our local news paper. The book is called QUALITY VENISON COOKBOOK by Steve and Gail Loder. Those who hunt look into it. I am all ready contemplating what to cook.

I got myself out of debt for christmas, I hated to just give away my whole christmas bonus and then some, but you reap what you sew. Holidays weren't all bad though. My birthday was the 22nd, Dad gave me a fairly old/weathered pre ban AR-15 that once belonged to my grandfather. I let it loose on new years eve. But of course i devoted a good portion of my christmas to prayer and religious meditation as well. Gotta remember the reason for the season! geez it really gets me steamin when i see people write CHRISTmas with an X in place of christ.
