What did you get for Xmas ?
« on: December 25, 2008, 08:07:23 PM »
My wife out did herself this year.

3-sets of tall shelves for garage
battery tenders
set of needle nose tools
a couple of cool retro painted metal bike paintings.
Nut/bolt/access storage drawers unit
phone for garage
....more

In short......I made out like a bandit.    She loves me, she really loves me ;D
I am one LUCKY Ba$tard ;D ;D ;D

It's taken some of the excitement out of Christmas, but I started dropping more specific hints this year.  My interests aren't the most mainstream in the family.  Instead of the usual cologne or dress socks I got a few cool things:


New gloves.  They have a cool feature with the pinky and ring finger sewn together.  I guess that's supposed to keep the feeble pinky safe in a crash.



Something to beat the crap out of a softball:



And a sheet of 3/16" 6061 aluminum that I'm going to use to make some brackets and bits for the FZR1000.  My mother in law wrapped this up beautifully and got some strange looks around the tree as I openend it.

I'm a lucky guy.

p.s. also got a bad case of heartburn from eating all day

A Panasonic BluRay player to round off my media center. Including two BluRay movies, Clockwork Orange and Dark Night.

And a Logitech Harmony universal remote with all the controls so I can eliminate my cable master remote that I was able to program most but not all of the required commands.

A 19" flat panel monitor to improve my SOHC4 experience  ;D and a new Sekonic, digital light meter and best of all, an unexpected overnight with the kids who were on their way to Holland (son-in-law's parents) for Xmas, but were snowed in here. ;)

I got a set of Napoleon bar-end mirrors, new flannel sheets, a rockin' hilarious Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt, a new pair of Asolo hiking boots (mostly for riding in) and two books:





Wheee!!  ;D

The books are a bit odd though...  The Japanese motorcycle guide was written from a British perspective (leaving out a lot of info on US models) and the Honda book doesn't even mention the Supermagna!  wtf?  ???

      Best thing I got for Christmas was to have my Dad here with us all day, going and looking at Christmas lights that night AND NOT having "S & S" being anywhere near to be seen or heard! Can't put a price on that and NEXT year, I'm already planning the same thing with ONE exception. "S & S" should be COMPLETELY OUT of the picture! ;) Agreeing with those who posted about family, never know when they won'y be around anymore.

       Awesome that you all have had a Great Christmas! 8) ;)

    BTW, Please don't get the idea that I'm trying to take the enjoyment away from all those gifts mentioned, that's not it at all! ;)

Thanks for them there kind words. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. ;) For the record it's a mutual situation with no acrimony.

And anyway, I've got the bikes!

Now lets return to scheduled programming and hear what else you guys and gals got for for Christmas....
