Hey guys! Got the shopping chores mostly done, what did we ever do before the internet and online shopping came along???

I do like to hit the mall on Christmas Eve, just to watch all the frantic last minute shoppers... lol

I worked one Christmas season at a Toys R Us when I was in college... talk about a mad house! The week before Christmas we stayed open to midnight, and the store was packed with people every night.

I worked about 4 black Fridays two with my own store. Between that and the 24th of December it was nuts.

How much snow are you getting Rob?

We got around 8 inches, I think. It's hard to tell since the wind started blowing like crazy... had some 2 and 3 foot drifts in the driveway this morning.

Did all you guys north and west miss out on the fun this time? Looks like Iowa got the brunt of it.

I think Pierre was right on the edge of it. It was all to the south and east of us.

Anyone counting on Santa to bring them some goodies for their truck?

I'd like to get a receiver hitch for mine, and a better CD player with an MP3 hookup would be great.

I haven't thought much about Christmas. I was hoping for an Ipod Touch which would be useful in the pickup. I think bu the end of the week I will have 114k miles on the clock of my 98. That is 14k in 9 months time.
