Cooked lunch for my actress friend Claire Gordon at her place on Lord Bath's estate, Roast potatoes, roast parsnips, fresh carrots, leaks, sprouts, etc the works, good feast, a couple of gl***es of wine, and good smoke to round it off. Quiet, but ok.

Checking cool Xmas. messages here and regular e-mail. Will be back in the garage working on the 46 @ 48 over the weekend. Merry Christmas to all ,,especially my fellow Virginians.
Not much, just enjoying the time with my daughters and their husbands, (and my four day old grandson, the first) here in Boise, ID. I have two daughters here in Boise and one in Spokane WA. We always meet in Boise for Christmas.
I haven't really did nothing. I woke up and felt sick so I took some nyquil and went back to sleep. I might work on putting the rear back under the TR7
Presents were opened by 9AM. Played a few games with the kids. Took a nap. Pulled my carb parts out of the cleaning bucket and blew them off. The carb is to my 49 Plymouth which was my Christmas present. Drank a Genny Cream Ale. Ate. ... and The Christmas Story has been on the whole time.
It is about 70 degrees here and pretty ... so I got my faithful, trusty old roadster out and went for a spin. Later this afternoon, we have a church service and afterward ... the wife is fixing a nice Steak dinner. IT is a time to remember those of us who are no longer here, cherish the ones we have and remember the reason for the season.
Downed a can of cold ravioli...and drank some hungarian moon shine. Went to the dump and shot some rats. Now I have to go back to the dudes house Im watching and leave a note saying "I owe you 1 bottle of hugarian moon shine and a box of 50cal shells, and your desert eagle is filthy"
drank coffee and fired up the heater in the garage . i've been taking every thing out of the dash in my wagon prepping it for paint. not much going on otherwise ....been missing my dog today for some reason (she's been gone almost 3 years now ) .
I havent left the house all day.. not even a trip to the garage.. Im talking on my ham radio gear and wishing the whole world a merry christmas and just plain relaxing... Also doing a long aborted update on my computer work (radio related again).. Too many hobbys can get in the way of the first hobbys causing you to get way behind.. Did I tell you im relaxing ///// Merry xmas all Dave
surfin the HAMB and taking a break every 20 minutes to go look at all my new tools in my new tool box woooo!!!
My father in-law and me just got back from our traditional Christmas cruise. 26 degrees out in a '32 ford 3-window with no heat got a little cold but, we were the only rod on the road. It dosen't matter how cold it is, just as long as there is no salt on the road we drive it. Good times.
I painted my ch***is and all the bits this morning. It will get another coat tomorrow and then ***embly over the weekend.
Well, last evening, went to my daughters house and had a wonderful xmas with my grand kids, came home and this morning, started all over with the wifes side of the family.

Worked in my shop this AM. Chopped wood for the woodburners in the house & shop this PM & went to a freinds for their dinner & drinks. The eve ended up in "Gravy Shots" after Beer Wine & Tequila. "San Diego style gravy shots" Dressing on your wrist, gravy in a shot gl***, slice of turkey --- then a gl*** of beer as a chaser. Lucky I'm from Michigan & now live in Oregon
I cant believe the nice weather you guys are having back east, I tried working on my 29 sedan this morning in my open carport until the rain and hail storm knocked the electric out and put a end to my fun, so tommorow I am planning on how I can enclose the carport to make it more winter friendly.
Enjoying family and friends, Just taking a break from clean-up and getting my HAMB fix while eating Key Lime Pie. MMMMMM wish you were here.
Spent the day callin' some of my gear-head buddies up north... told them all about our 70 degrees plus weather down here in God's Country... got cussed at a little... normal Christmas in South Georgia!
