Nice... It's good to know you hit the nail on the head, eh?

My wife got teary eyed after opening every one of her gifts...
I figured I finally got it right after 10 years..

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

Nice copper bass, Rosco -

It's really gonna look great when it ages with that patina copper takes on -

My favorite gift was a Keurig coffee-maker - damn, it makes a great cup of coffee individually...just fired it up with some pretty robust Newman's Own...

Gotta have good starter fluid to get me going in the morning...

What did you get her, fishing tackle?

It's the fishing hole

I can relate to that. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. Wife gave our family a cruise to the Caribbean in March.

Not my money. I'm poor. I just hope she keeps sharing.

Talking

The nicest, most mellow Christmas with family and friends ever.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
