Sometimes those are the best years and you're right, it really only matters that you were together.
So what y'all get for Christmas?

We didn't get each other anything this year.. I was just thankful for being together this year. So we are off for another year of work and trials as they come.. Hope all had a great time with family..

I didn't get much as far as presents go... just a book, a movie, and... a beard trimmer... the latter item, I was told, is "returnable," so I could find something more useful if I don't think its going to be practical. I'd probably never use it any time soon...
Of course, as most of you have already noted, the best part of Christmas was having dinner with family.

Since it's just me these days, I didn't get anything yet. My Christmas bonus was all in funny money that spends "just like cash" in the little town of 600 where I work. I have my ways of getting it changed into cash and when I do, I'm gonna get myself enough items to be able to start reloading ammo.
PICS of these floor mats please...I'm pondering a set would like to know how well they fit...you got carpet or vinyl floor?
Wife did NOT like the pack...she did like the electric fleece throw I got her.
Drove her up to uncle/aunts for Christmas was a blast huge bonfire Christmas eve and fireworks too...at a Neighbors house...was awesome...tons of people showed up and had a great time
She got me a travel mug with a carabiner I can hook to my NEW pack
I got a few other little things, and a 100 PC screwdriver set from Canadian Tire! Nice stuff...
Well o way home today, I stopped and she got a nice 200PC screwdriver set, I got some metric and SAE 1/2" dr. Allen keys for shop and a new air chisel
We had so much fun and joy together it's been an incredibley wonderful time to say the least.

Its great! Not spicy at all, which is almost a let down, but a good sweet/peppery flavor.
Christmas would have been better but the 6.0 ate a EGR cooler (EGR delete $200), have had to buy 3 batteries the last month ($450), my car needs tires, and my DMF is making some serious noise in the TDI.

When it rains, it pours. I'll have to get some and try it. I have a recipe saved for a bacon jam that I need to make or have my gf do it.
Good luck on all the other stuff.

I have carpet. I'll snap some pics in a bit when it gets light out. They're Lloyd Rubbertite mats (http://lloydmats.com/?page_id=98). Good traction, really good fit (really wide, so much so that they cut a hole for the high beam switch), but basically just a giant piece of rubber cut out to fit (no finished edges or anything like that). I really wanted a set of those Weathertech mats you see advertised everywhere, but they don't make blue ones.

Another trail camera to use on The Compound. A Primos Double Bull hunting blind that I can use to hunt with my 5 year old (deer, turky, preditors), a new CD player for my F250, supposed to be getting some new Justin boots. Not here yet. My current pair is 10 years old.

Happy IDI'er
I went to my best friend of 35 years house. He has a 7 month old little girl, a well behaved yellow lab, a wife that is from the heavens above and great parents that are still happily married in this day and age. His Dad had recently battled cancer with good results and it was just a treat to see him and his family just absolutely doing well. I was treated with a pork **** stuffed with spinach, potatoes and corn bread, all home made. This was the first time I visited his place during the holidays and what a surprise it was, a page out of a story book.
I also have my kids for the week, another present in itself. I took the 2 girls to stay in Delaware with my Dad and step mom. He sold his house in NC to move closer to me, his grand children and other family so I thought it would be best to take advantage of the move during the holidays.
I'm at the point that my children are growing fast. They are only young for a little while and the time needs to be taken advantage of.
