What did Santa bring you this year?

[writerinmo]

glwt06, I used to do a LOT of tractor work for guys on these old tractors when I had my body shop back in the early 90's in a small farm town in Kansas, I loved working with them as it gave me a chance to work with REAL METAL!!! You could actually do more than just replace panels on them, unlike the cars anymore.

Santa brought me the 18volt cordless drill that I've been needing since my 8 year old Black and Decker battery went belly up and costs more to replace than buying a new drill. A real nice, heavy, lined, hooded Moose Creek flannel shirt/jacket. A huge summer sausage, 1lb block of sharp cheddar cheese and box of Ritz crackers. Simple pleasures for a simple man.

I do wish Santa had refrained from bringing me the massive head cold and sinus infection late last night though, would have much preferred to spend the holiday sipping something other than cold medication@!

I got this:

Heckler & koch P9S, used but in pretty good shape, polygonal barrel and roller lock, I was hoping for a P7, well, may be next year.

Since I got a bit of a temporary hitch in my git-along, Itchy went Christmas shoppin' for both of us.

Seems as if she done bought herself one of them I-pad things, and she got me a diamond necklace.

She says she's gonna borrow that necklace on kind of a permanent basis, and when I git to gittin' around, she wants me to buy her a gun that I think she'll like, and then she'll loan it to me.

That ol gal's a keeper and that's a fact.

A Tilley airflow khaki hat was the best gift someone else got me.

But then there's the gift I got myself.

A 2001 GMC Yukon XL 2500 heavy duty 4x4 with the 496 c.i. big block. Perfect history, 1 local rich guy owner and all it's towed is a bass boat. $5500 for the truck and $850 for a new set of Michelins.

No guns for Xmas, again!

I guess Chico Marx was right.

Don't you just love rich guys

I got my usual Gun Digest, I have them all back to 1944, and gift certificates to some of my favorite local spots from my daughter. My son gave me a mixed case of really good champagne.

Keurig, I didn't know what it was but figured out it makes a darned good cup of coffee very fast.

 

[BearBio]

This was the best!

1943 vet bringback from Iwo Jima

 

[OFT II]

The good news is that I got some imported shirts.

The bad news is that they came from Walmart.

 

[DeadAye]

I had a talk with S. Claus and he promised to bring me what I deserved.
He must have forgot though, cause I got nothin'...

OH

 

[Smithhound]

I actually got two very nice presents, a Colt Combat Commander satin nickle NIB (which I posted a bit ago) then on Christmas morning the Wife surprised me with a gun I've been looking for, a Savage model 840 .30-30 bolt action in excellent condition.
Gotta love a Woman like that!

Wife got me a Colt King Cobra .357 4" barrel in stainless, Buckheimer holster, extra Pachmyr grippers, and two speed loaders.

Wifey got one of them last year. She loves it!
I was in Walmart Friday and saw that Starbucks now has K-Cups available.. Got her a box and got myself some "good hubby" points.

The Mrs surprised me with a S&W model 29-2
The 29s born on date was 1980, Barrel 8-3/8s" All I can say is, WoW

 

[woodsltc]

WOW !!! Ya'll made a "haul" for Christmas....all I got was socks and underwear.

Truth be known, I've been driving my Christmas presents for several months now....new Toyota FJ-Cruiser and Yamaha Grizzly ATV. Can't complain about the socks and underwear...besides I needed them.

Christmas kind of low key this year but did get a Poulan 16 inch electric chainsaw. Handy for the smaller, spur of the moment cutting chores. Don't have to worry about getting this one to start after sitting unused for months; well, as long as I pay the electric bill. Also received the famous SCSW I have wanted for a while. Know can at least answer most of my own S&W questions. Last, but not least, scored a Bianchi 5BHL holster for the 4-screw Mod. 17.

Got one of those from my best friend last Christmas. Love it and have been using it ever since.

 

[Double-O-Dave]

I got a Model 65-3 from a forum member as my Christmas present. It's shown here next to my Model 13-3. I haven't had a chance to shoot either of them yet. The sideplates get taken off tonight for a little cleaning and lubing.

Best regards,

Dave
