I had the pleasure a short but needed conversation with Mike (Clammer). Am now with family after dropping the kids at their mother's house. Health and family is all I need. Best to all!

A 712z , 140, a Jack London book and a Karl Malden book :happy: Santa loves me, he really, really loves me!

Nice quiet holiday with my family. Kids happy, still engaged in their stuff. One major surprise....The UPS man came late yesterday and told my boy that I had to sign for the package...I made it to the door and noticed the package was from a major online tackle company. Hmmm, I did not order anything fishing this Chrismas (other than a few books) as I spend a ton each season on gear. I know my wife didn't order anything (I buy all the fishing gear), perhaps it was an old backorder...I better open it...:eyes:
OH $%*& !...4 stellas!!! one for each of us. WOW, no card or message. Go back down to my office and try to think who would send me this...I only know a couple people with this kind of disposable income who fishes and likes this kind of gear. A little later I go into the garage to put something in the trash and notice a big Fedex tube direct from the G.Loomis Factory in WA...unreal, 4 ultra sweet rods to go with the reels. I now am the proud owner of 4 perfectly balanced light tackle (10-12#) set ups...I can't want for those tuna to return!!! Figured out who it was.... I need to take this guy fishing this summer...eh?

my 4 year son still believes in Santa even though his school friends tell him different.

I asked my son if we should burn a fire in the fire place last night, he said it was ok because Santa was magic and had magic powers, priceless.

my family accidentaly bought me a vs 100. it's going back for a 250. it's pretty nice to get a gift like that.

also received a gift certificate for m&d's:jump:

best gift of all was the turkey dinner with my family.

my gf can cook but not like mom.

"And Santa ate the cookies!!!!" said my son...
