Asking Santa

Good morning everybody. Hope you are able to stay warm today.
I have a few things I'm asking Santa for. Ka'Bluey needs all weather stripping for the door jambs, and windows. A stereo to fill that empty hole in the dash, and a couple other small things.
Just wondering what your asking the big guy for

Unk Bob

Bottom bearings for the copper truck...
A new stereo for the yellow truck...
Side steps for the brown truck...
And world peace...

Well heck... 10 acres in a semi-rural area and a 10-car garage with an attached house.... then a 40' X 60' X 20' shop with a two-post lift and a downdraft spray booth.

Semi-rural living is a bit different than the city living I came from...

4H and FFA kids walking their livestock
Propane deliveries
Starry nights
Semi-reliable electric
No street lights due to light-pollution ordinance
Well water
The sound of freedom (F35 and Harrier squadrons)
Septic tank
dove hunting 100 yards away
Washboard dirt road
catfish even closer than the doves
Sheriff substation four miles away...but generally unmanned
The second amendment is alive and well
