My youngest son gave me a steel box he made in metal shop that I can put odds and ends in....I am going to put it on my work bench! He did a great job on it...its all brake bent and the box itself has been tack welded......great gift not to mention he put a $10 Dunkies gift certificate inside!  My oldest son gave me a great flannel shirt, black and red checked....looks nice and warm and its XXL so I am sure it will fit! The cat thinks it makes a great place to sleep!

My brother got my dad 2 of your canal cut 3ozers and another canal cut Afterhours that was inscribed #1 Bomba. He got me a weird framed picture of a bunch of gay bicyclists in front of a giant Pabst Blue Ribbon banner at the Granby Cafe. What the $%3@^7+@!!!

Blown away!
My sister and brother in law got me an awesome 34" bronze striper! They saw it on the NH PBS auction last May! And knew they had to get it. It is spectacular, and the detail is perfect. When I held it by the tail, the profile felt like I was getting ready to fillet it! The artist left no detail undone.

Martin, the tag on the back from the auction lists the donor as fishcarvings.com.
Chit, I just looked at her site..... nice stuff. And its copper! Thought it was bronze mold.

Got a signed copy of Zeno's book and a new SWE long sleeve T from the girlfriends family. Looks like they're getting to know me well. Family presents are waiting until tonight but I have a good feeling there will be plenty of fishing stuff.

Ross, that's awesome.
Got new toaster, custom Pat's "Bomba" jersey, camo winter croc's, new Mass and CT licenses, some other cool stuff.
On the other hand, I got some really cool chit for my loved ones this year, including #^&#^&#^&#^&y's plugs, Mikey's pictures, I got Jess a shirt that says "Suck it Trebek" with Sean Connery's famous Jeapordy quotes as categories, etc.
Merry Xmas Everybody,
Rick

I feel your pain Slingah. Some of my misfits just let and I feel like going around to check to see if all of the good silverware is still here.
