What You Get For Christmas

[MoparManJim]

What did you get for Christmas?  

I got some tools and a new blow torch for model car building from my wife (I got her a 1/12 Mustang kit). My son got a lot of cool stuff to. I got some work gloves and a throw blanket from my son.

For Christmas, everything i spent in december counts.  New Axles, new rear drum rebuild kits, new gas tank, new fuel sending unit, and while it hasn't arrived in the mail yet, a two piece trunk floor kit.  Also a new 440 Magnum red pie tin for the air cleaner.   Not a bad haul.  Just wish someone had bought it for me instead of me buying it for myself.

i got one of them video camera tools that goes into your engine so you can see without taking the motor apart. its pretty cool.

I got one of them battery operated 12v Milwaukee jackets....it heats up the hand pockets and the upper & lower portion of the coat....gonna go out and take our dog out for his nightly walk..will try it out then

that coat sounds pretty cool.   i got some battery gloves to keep the hands warm last year. they work pretty good. especially when im on the bike through the cold weather.

Absolutely nothing! After all the presents were handed out from under the tree it was then the family realized no one go anything for me

 I'm sorry Drache, I didn't mean to laugh but that's pretty funny and weird at the same time.  I hope you get double next Christmas.

I think the biggest hurt is I spent close to $1000 for gifts this year for family and friends so I have nothing left over for boxing day to buy myself a gift

I'm not laughing any more. I don't know how family can slip up like that. And I can see that you would be hurting.  I hope they'll make up for it soon.
As for boxing day..........I stay well away from the shops on that day..........it's sheer madness, I'm averse to crowds. And the sales will still be on the day after.

I usually do all my boxing shopping online now just for the same reason.

Paying for delivery spoils it for me.

A few places have free shipping to my home or at least free shipping to the closest store. Or if the deal is that good then I don't mind paying shipping.

I got an old, near MIB S&W model 36(Thanks Dad!). A few random gift cards from family. I bought myself a Milwaukee 18v grease gun to make my job sooo much easier. I also scored a 300/Hurst decklid and trunk extensions for the ragtop.

They should have voiced them sooner.

I'm an "old timer" so the younger guys probably wouldn't know of this mid, late, 1950's tv show.
Got season 2 & 3, Broderick Crawford, The Highway Patrol
And a double CD set of "The Walker Brothers" a singing trio, from the 1960's.

I'm not an old timer but will be in years to come. But I like all the 1960 tv shows and yes I have heard and seen quite afew of them.  . They made some good shows back then compared to now days.

That is the way it goes Jim.

You know of The Highway Patrol, being in Australia?

I like the series of what Los Angeles, California, and the area, was like back in the 1950's.
I like old cars, and seeing all the cars of the 50's and 40's in the series, when they weren't "old" cars, is pretty cool to me.

Yes I do. Even back then all those shows were on TV over here. In fact if it wasn't for American TV show........we would have had nothing to watch. There was very little of anything else.

the coat worked well..the hand pockets warmed up real fast...and I was not chilly the entire walk outside....it's 35* here and was not cold when I got back

Coat with battery & charger is around $180 total

Hey, this is no banana republic.    We're the 51st state of USA......didn't you know.    

But seriously, US shows have been on TV over here since television first aired. We were watching shows like "Rifle Man" and "The Texas Rangers" still in blk & wht along with many others. Do you remember "The Hathaways"?
