I got some money that went directly towards the credit card bill which just about paid it off now.
$400 to the tackle store of my choice
A saltiga blast from my girlfriend
Some Clothes

I think its a watch...

hes not joking. its a pen and its sweet.

OK then, wow. I was wrong.

To each his own but I'll take the VS and you can have your pen. Mont Blanc does make some great watches too though.

the perfect accoutrement for the discerning east bay metro-sexual.

:jump: well put!

The greatest gift I could have asked for, my Wife's suggestion that we put our home in the Outer Banks up for sale and move back to RI :beat:

This is the one I own, Classique http://www.writewithstyle.com/montbl...nc-prices.html

My wife really went overboard on me. In descending order of value:

Finnor Ahab 16 reel
1500 yard spool of 40# Stren Superbraid
R.A. Ribb custom clam "mini-bullrake", with 6' telescoping handle
Rapala fillet knife with serrated blade
The deluxe Berkley line stripper (the D cell sized one)
Rubber apron for cleaning fish

My stepdaughter got me a 750 ml bottle of single malt :drool:

Now we're Talking.........Brand?

Just 12 year old Glenlivet. My new moderately priced favorite is Oban.

Two years ago her brother got me the 18 year old Glenlivet ;)

I got the same thing I get every year, new slippers and a piece of arse...both 2 sizes too big.

Bruins tix - for both the upcoming Pittsburgh games
$$ to finish my ink
few DVD's

s'bout it.

you got the hook up. a 1500 yard spool of stren superbraid is quite nice.

Legos NXT for the boy and a nice periodic table shower curtain ta boot.
I need to get the NXT to throw 3 oz 200 yds!!

I got lucky this x mas

VS 200 :alien:

Clothes, etc. ... and a disc of KISS greatest hits ... hadn't listened to them in close to 25 years ...

... only two plugs, I got screwed on the fishing front, although that was all that was on my list ...

... Julie gave me jeans that were not Carharts or Levis, said she wanted me to be more Parisan, I told her I hated the French because they wouldn't let our planes fly over the country on the way to Libya and they complain about everything :rotf2: ... and that I prefered to look like and dress like an American ...:btu:

... hate to say it but my fishing gift list got ignored by everyone, even my mother and father ... got computer equipment from them ... at least I will be able to store more digital photos when I buy the waterproof digital camera for fishing.

Ok we can't fish together anymore :yak5:

i got a pony, hot pink shoes, a skirt and puppy pink lipstick.....

hahaha jk

Bob ... glad to see you expanding your openess and understanding ...:usd:

... I'm a blues, RnR, Reggae, Southern Rock guy all the way where you'll find the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Skynnard, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Marley with the occassional Zappa in my car ... and now KISS just to bug the snot out of you ... :bounce:

$1100 vet bill because one of my minature schaunzers got very sick...

Are you a member of Kiss Army :laughs:

No joke -actually got ties and pajamas. But my son cut a piece of dowel, carved out the front, wittled the end, painted it with rustoleum and put in some screw eyes and trebles. He spent alot of time on it. Kind of looks like a popper needle. Very nice home made present I will always cherish.

Sorry to hear about the dog Pie. Hope it O.K.

I got two boat rod blanks with all the fixin's, which I am going to spiral wrap.
Harmonica, which I am going to learn to play to serenade the cows and my brother with at night on the beach.
A hoodie for when I hang on the corner.
A #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and an r.m. smith plug from my brother because he appreciates me learning how to play the friekin harmonica so much.
one of them little flyreel measuring tapes
and I have all of youse guys for another year:kewl:

I know. I'm wondering how it'll work on the Ahab. This is a new one with a bigger line roller. Size wise 40# should be great. I tried 50# Stren this spring and it was like rope compared to Whiplash. Great handling, but thick.

Yeah, He lost me at the Parisan Look.....I'm not fishing next to any guy wearing Waders and a funny little black hat with a "Stem" on it.....:hee:

A 1201m from Nelsons B&T, thanks Rich.

Rockhound.

Perhaps if you're OTW piece was done in scripted longhand I'd bother reading it :rotf3: :musc:

I also got a brilliant Italian true sevenfold tie, but I won't go into that ;)

No fishing gear, not that I needed any. All things considered my take was pretty light. It was good to be home with the family for a week.
