Annual Loot Thread (2008)

Post by Netpackrat »

My wonderful wife gifted me with an Alpha Chrony, a box of .308 ammo, and a bore snake in .40/10mm. My brother got me a gift certificate at Midway, and the inlaws got me some Proto tools and a CB radio for the Jeep.

Every day is my Christmas. The wife and I take it easy and if anybody wants to give us a gift it is appreciated. The big ticket items dissapeared from out lives a long time ago and life is much simpler without that bother. We go to Christmas Eve candle light services, and make the rounds visiting friends and family. The kids come over Christmas morning and we exchange small gifts, have food and have a good time.

Brown suede leather jacket from the folks, and a cryptic & intriguing e-mail from the lady-friend who I mentioned in the Doghouse thread over in the Humor section. Seems her gift to me can't be shipped and will have to be delivered in person at the sci-fi convention we're both attending the weekend after the Austin meet... I'm reasonably certain that this doesn't imply a '70s bass line or Pythonesque nudges & winks, but I can always hope. ;)

Newest grandson, who was eight weeks premature, came home from the hospital after five weeks. Born at less than four pounds, is now six pounds, three ounces and is doing well. I can't think of a better Christmas present...
