Man that is nice...gotta wonder though, that paint is totally fresh. It looks absolutely awesome right now but that coil spring is going to flake like crazy. Not trying to be a downer...in fact thats about a perfect looking bike IMHO. Congrats on the buy!

I got these, both from my wife...



That is to say the rifle rest (no more having to scrounge wood blocks at the range) and the Model 74 Winchester. Well, actually I had put it on layaway a month ago and found a card from my wife under the tree with a 1 dollar bill in it and a note telling me that it was the dollar I needed to pick up my rifle. She had gone into the store and payed off my layaway except for that dollar. They couldn't release it to her of course as I was the one who had done the original paperwork.

I also got a couple of books, Niall Ferguson's "Civilization, the West and the Rest" and Max Hastings "All Hell let loose" about WWII. Oh yes, a couple of CD's The soundtrack to "Dances with Wolves" John Barry (one of my favorite scores) and Mozart's piano Concertos. And a box of 22 ammo. Sounds like a lot, and I'm very happy with it all but actually the best part of it was having all the in-laws staying for a week. Lots of good food and a relaxed and very happy Xmas was had by all.

I hope we'll be able to repeat it again next year.

- Peter.

Dig deeper...Crutchfield carries the proper wiring harnesses to allow head units with the capability for steering wheel controls to be utilized, for the majority of automobile manufacturers.

At a price IMO my wiring job & multimeter verification is worth the $50 an hour it saves. Some people hate wiring though, I understand how thy are in businessw

Wifie bought a new pair of slip on steel toe shoes from Red Wing for me. No more having to bend over to tie the shoes, which is a bit difficult with a bad back like mine.

I bought her the Tahoe, she bought me shoes to help me put more hours in at work to pay for the Tahoe. If I were shallow, I'd see a problem here...

I just ordered the harness for the Tahoe...$125! If I had the time, I'd make one. The price we pay for convenience and laziness is high...

Definitely! Wiring is seriously a PITA, $50 an hour (or even $40, 30) for a properly soldered/shrunk (etc) harness is only marginally better than the premade one. Its worth it....I woulda done the same relaxation is better! Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Shallow? How could you possibly feel shallow with the woman? You bought her a cold chunk of steel which will cost money every time she uses it. You, on the other hand, received her sole!

I scored. Got a Cincinnati Bengals bobble head AND a C.B, "Mr Potato head". Never even knew they made such a thing.

'Course this Sunday when the Ravens (boo, hiss, spit on the ground) re-arrange the facial features of the Bengals players I might not think it's too darned funny.

Didn't really want much for Christmas...but I got a remote control helicopter, which I DID really want...SERIOUSLY!

My wife and daughter got me and my daughter's boyfriend "battle copters"...you can fire infrared beams at the other copter...three hits makes the victim copter forcibly land!

These things aren't as easy to control as it seems when you see them at the malls...we spend less time shooting at each other and most of the time trying to keep from crashing into obstacles!

Fun times though!
