I'm single and don't have any kids, this is why I always get myself something for Christmas. It usually ends up being something for the truck though, lol!

Jason, good luck with the injector cup job. I don't know if you have done it before, but when you think you have the bores clean, clean them again! My M.O. was to do a final clean of each bore with acetone right before I put in each cup. I mean, put the sealant on the cup, clean the bore again, and slam that cup in there. The rear bores were still seeping a little oil even after sitting for days with the rail plugs out. I found that those little foam "paddles" for painting trim worked GREAT for cleaning the bores, and the acetone didn't attack them.
It's worthwhile doing a pressure test too, once you have them all installed. That's how I knew I had to do it OVER

LOL! This ain't no reverse-rotation turbo. I have moved past that limitation!!
It will make more sense when I get the next package.
More pics to come... 
Besides, Santa has very little to do with the operation these days - its all run by elves and supercomputers using sites like Amazon/Ebay/etc... Luckily, the North Pole is not affected by obamacare - so the jolly fella's operation is not in danger of suffering the same fate as our beloved Twinkie.

Cheers to everyone, happy and safe holiday (crazy time) season

A box with Yellow tape should be arriving at my place end of this month to the beginning of December. I will finally have a complete set of boots and clamps from Clay!
Already got'em on the bottom, just need to get the top side fixed up...
I'll be making a run or two to San Antonio to meet up with my good buddy TXtinct and whoever else from the area wants to join.
