Haven't made it home from the holidays yet for me, the wife, and kids to exchange gifts. There's still hope for a bead roller yet. So far though of the gifts that matter my mom got me this

Larry's umpteen thousand posts will not go in vain.
Also unlike @paintslinger805 I will not take a maiden voyage or perform a first fire up with out proof.
Oh and Danny, this Northerner likes you too bud.

We are probably moving in a year or so, I will wait till then. Moving pianos sucks, and they almost always need to be re-tuned afterwards.

 

Hard to beat an upright grand, that's what my grandma had. If you want any tips on buying a piano, shoot me a PM.

 

nuthin.my letter to santa was returned to sender.ive been a bad man

 

New shirt and a piece of ....... , both 2 sizes too big! Not really, had a great day!

 

Makes you look 20 years younger.

 

Nothing hot rod related but some nice gifts still.
New plaid winter weight flannel shirt, 2 new pairs of corduroy pants, 2 packs of tidy whites, several Dunkin Donuts $25 gift cards and best of all a gift card for Bass Pro I'm going to put towards a new 9mm Walther pistol I've been wanting for several months.
Automotive stuff I did buy the week before Christmas on my own while shopping for others.
I bought a 24 volt 1/2 Drive Cordless Impact Gun and a 1/4 Drive 18 Volt Cordless Impact Gun and a load of new drill bits that I've wasted on the build of my wife's 32 roadster.
Also to go with wrenching on the roadster my son gave me an 8 pack of Angry Orchard that smooths over any rough times in the build.
Saw lots of family over two days and had a great holiday overall plus put away waaay tooo much food into my belly.
Merry Christmas everyone!



This thing eats drill bits by the box full.

 

On our list too. I also am waiting for the right one, because I only want to do it once and I once had an old one that wasn't tunable.

My mother-in-law is advising us, she worked for Wurlitzer in the 60's selling and setting up practice pianos in D.C.

She was once sent to a ritzy motel, where she set one up for Duke Ellington, he invited her to stay for awhile and she sat right there beside him on the bench for an hour or so playing, then some ice cream with vodka on it from room service. (One of my favorite stories, I'm a big fan of old jazz)

 

Two weeks without the wife

WOW...Excellent gift....I love it

 

I hope you had a good angle grinder to go with it!!
Sorry John couldn't resist. Happy new year

 

My Bucket List includes a long trip on my motorcycle so Santa did his part. Now I need to lose thirty pounds and hope the weather is good for the first week in May.

 

I got a 401 nailhead with the St400 trans.

 

Since there is no such thing as a holiday when you work at a 24/7 Water treatment Plant....I got 12 hrs of double time and a half!!!! The repairs guys today are getting the same because there are 4 water breaks today and I am sure they are loving their day off also today.
On a car related note,my NOS headers that my wife bought me for my 303 will get here Tuesdayish. And I dont get my new knee till Jan 10,that starts out like a sack of coal to the head and will after a couple months be like fresh snow covering a new 12 pack of IPA Rusty Chain Beer

 

Make a mental note - mail Jimmy a few bucks because he is such a good lair. HRP

 

Closer to having our 56 Victoria's paint completed. Only the doors and all the interior painted trim are left. Waiting is the hardest part and we are not in a hurry . I'm sure my assembly will be a lot longer than it took to remove every thing. And to thing this started as a restored car where some paint bubbling began showing after 4 years.

 

I got a new flannel shirt and a copper pot. Doesn't sound like much but I needed a new flannel shirt and if I don't like the pot it'll make a cool air cleaner.

 

Does that book tell the history of yet another Griswold family vacation?

 

I got this:. And this : had to buy em myself but I ain't gonna kick about it.

I got everyone else car stuff, I needed to spend some more $$ to get free shipping from Summit. So they all got t-shirts. I did get a nozzle for my VP gas can and a tool box organizer for my model car stuff and an xacto knife set.

I did find some Ford NOS fender ornaments when I cleaned the kitchen counter. The cats had a good day too.

 

No,although Clark did push his and his family's luck,they didn't die from lead poisoning. HRP

 

Fiance bought me new Craftsman 61" top and bottom tool boxes ( I did point out to her they were on sale).

 

New home in River Falls, WI., bigger garage/shop, moving on January 6th, 2017.

 

Nice but the garage needs to be a lot bigger

 

A promise from our Son and Son in law to help me finish the electrical and sheetrock on my new garage. We'll see if that happens!
My Wife reminded me that the '32 is covering the next few years of gifts for all occasions!
I can't argue with that.
Otherwise kisses and hugs from the Grand Children (nothing better than that!)

On Christmas Eve, Santa brought 47 people and a clogged toilet.

 

A cold
Spent most of the holidays throwing kleanix's in the fireplace.
Finally felt better yesterday and worked on the GMC bellhousing I got from Santa Ferguson for my engine test stand.

 

received a nasty cold - AAAAchooooooo
