With Santa's kindness the gifts were a Dewalt DW960VSr 18 V . angle drill , 2 Batteries , charger and case . 4 pairs of pants ( 2 jeans ) , of course dark chocolate for good health ,2 packs of shaving blades and the most important of all a 1.75 litre of Canadian Club .

Also must remeber what was given to the little lady that keeps the house runnin . A bunch of cobalt blue vintage Fiesta Ware dishes and some jewelry . Looks like I'll be in like flint for awhle .

A late date night gift for us . Sat. Jan.8 comedy club appearance by Monique Marves . She is a HOOT !!!!!!!!!!

 

Got me a plazma cutter, yay!!!

 

Ya'll musta set all those nice gifts for yourselves, because my wife gave me a steam/vac for the kitchen floor! Maybe I should have bought her a new brake system.

 

BINGO!! Actually, I went into tractor supply and sent her a text message with the exact SKU numbers. She was onto me about what I wanted, and I got tired of getting things your steam vac. BTW man, your avatar freaked me out. I thought you had a big hole in your fender, but then I realized you must be related to me when it comes to working under the hood.

 

I ordered two fiberglass doors from beebops fiberglass. My cab is not completed yet so I will be adjusting them to fit. They will come unglued for further adjustment ability. I plan on opening the dorrs backward as well. The hole process will be difficult and I hope it turns out good.

 

Yeah,but the kids got hold of it and smoked it already.

 

HOOD SCOOP!! haha stubby ratchet wrenches, battery cable cutters (no more blood blisters trying to cut battery cables with hoof nippers anymore!!)

 

Santa and one of his little elves collaberated to bring me my 56 for Xmas. Although the elf doesn't look too happy about it in this picture:

 

Roger, I hope that you replaced the Bridgeport mill and South Bend
lathe with something bigger-better newer! I have a Bridgeport and 13" Southbend in my shop and I will have them until the end.

 

santa brought me storage and work area for finished vehicles
the mistress (see avatar) doesn't like being in the shop with the dirty, under construction vehicles!
