Ice fishing is more fun. With the snowmobiles and whatnot. And your beer never gets warm!

Couldn't agree with you more. My lady lost her job about a month ago, so the money's tight. The kids aren't gonna get allot for CHRISTmas, but the bills are getting paid.We have a couple plays at church that are fun. Being with my kids and the family is all I need for CHRISTmas. Wanted some glowshift gauges, but its all good. May God bless everyone with a merry CHRISTmas. Thanks again for all the advice and help everyone has given me.

Merry Xmas, all!

The truck's been pulling its weight in bringing home the holiday gifts. The old man got a recliner to replace his very nasty, ratty one, and we used the truck to save the delivery costs. The wife and I got each other a new TV, and let's just say it wouldn't fit in the back of her Accord . It even brought home my lil bro's new (to him) GSXR1000, so it's just full of holiday cheer this year.

I've asked Santa for a few interior items, including a pillar gauge pod, coolant temp gauge, Dashmat, and floor mats. I've been real good, so hopefully he listens. Of course, if not, I may just get the darn temp gauge anyway because I'm tired of guessing and not KNOWING the engine temp.

Let's see, family traditions:

- The whole family goes out on Xmas Eve to see a movie. This year's choice is The Hobbit, and we're really amped for that since we loved LOTR so much

- Toys for Tots, where we go to WalMart, buy a few bikes and helmets, and promptly take them outside to drop off with the Marines whom are outside collecting items.

- Watch A Christmas Story, at least once (usually on the TBS marathon)

- Watch Elf while decorating the house (done!)

And the wife and I are working on starting a family of our own, so hopefully next year we'll begin some new traditions

Mike

Hey Rupe! Been a while (for both of us it seems!)

Snow boarding is in the plans for me. Usually we have a nice dinner and enjoy the time together.

Although some time off class will also be nice to catch up with projects. Not to mention sleep.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone has a great holiday. My plans for this christmas are pretty simple. Fix my truck! That is my present to me. Gonna spend the next week replacing the driver side door glass, window motor and switch, just ordered a new mirror and I'm replacing the headlight switch due to flickering issues while driving at night. Getting my christmas early! On christmas, I will throughly enjoy feeding hay and climbing back into a WARM truck.
