I asked fer a couple o canvas bags. Bout 10x10x20. One ta carry my winch stuff in an nother fer my clothes when I go ta Utah in May.

I asked the boys an no reply yet.

We stoped the gifts fer us older folks in the extended family. Moms in her 70's and still workin ta pay fer stuff she wants to do so we had ta tell her no more $$ spent for folks not living in her house for Christmas. We still git together ta eat an visit same as Easter and T-day.

We are kinda like Jack. Lots of stuff I'd like to have, but very little that we actually need.

One of these years I'd like to get a 45 Auto pistol, but that is down the road a ways and I definitely don't need one.

Yup, been lookin at AR-15's an 10mm ur .357sig semi auto pistols. Maybe next yer. An maybe an AR-10. I did find a good deal on a new New Model RV. 4.62" barrel an 45LC. I have short fingers and wanted one as the old model Vaquero I have has a very large grip. The NM RV grips are so small I have trouble finding room to hold it with both hands. Works great one handed though. I liked it.

Julie and I got a new bed about 3weeks, 2 days and one hour ago.. don't ask me why I keep track of that.. but she said that was our christmas gift to each other. yay???

The girls are getting some of those hand held video game contraptions, I can't remember what they are called, but that is all they want for christmas, and Julie thinks they should have them. I think they are too expensive to give two little girls who can't find their shoes each morning and take their MP3 players to school to get them stolen, but what do I know? So much for family time in the evenings. I guess its a good thing we got TV and internet, cause I got a feeling its gonna be lonely in the house for a while after Christmas. Maybe I can start getting some projects done.

I want a lot of things but having my birthday in early December kinda cuts into Christmas.

Anyway has usual Christmas is going to be one gift probably something that has mediocre usefulness to me because all the tools, truck parts, and virtually endless list of computer parts I want are too expensive.

Oh well I'll take what I can get and be happy. I just hope I don't get in another wreck this year.

Carolyn doesn't know but she is getting a new computer. Don't know what to get Callista, and I will probably get something like a tie with everyone's name on it :-) I think I'll get my nephew an O O O Orileys gift card because he got a new truck.

I really want Peacan pie.

Good morning Flip. What are you doing up at this time?

I had the pecan pie night before last.

I'll always take tools for Christmas, but I'll probably get the tie too.
