Sweet!

As fate would have it, LeeH and I drew each other.
I scored a Porsche pen, an issue of C&D (with a nice 50 year history of the 911), a non-standard MagLite, a musical Mercedes decanter (was it full when it left?) that plays "How Dry I Am", and a most unusual mug.
Thanks Lee!

But thanks for idea... I will include some on my package next year. Don't fight, fellas.

And Jesset, so glad you liked it. Was worried since it was such an eclectic assortment. But stuck to the rules of not buying anything.

Merry Christmas!

I put some packets of Chamois Butter (aka Butt Butter) in mine this year. Not too mention putting it in a bizarre box (Playboy Glam Black Bronzer).

I also stuck to the rules and put in "Things I had"...

I got a really nice beer stein from vinman. Pictures to come when I turn my computer on sometime...

[peppy]

I got some real maple syrup and a very nice Christmas card.

Thank you Pete3799 .

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

I just opened up my box from Peppy, chock full of thoughtful goodies! Chief among them, a beautiful hand-carved wooden bowl. Also got a nice card, some black pepper, perfect, dental floss , lights and some Tastee Freez calendars pens and free cone cards. So I'll be heading up to Vermont this summer.

Thank you Peppy, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Wow. So many thoughtful gifts!

Gassy was equally so. He sent me a framed picture of picture I posted here last year. I had never thought to do so and my wife immediately claimed it for her office. The four Knuckle Draggers in the picture had just completed the first war-shot Penguin missile test in Rosey Roads. I headed to the Persian Gulf for the first Gulf conflict three weeks later.

Then, long sleeve mock tee with a really nice design of another pic I had posted on the front.

My daughter immediately claimed it as hers...night shirt (and no, no pics!). I don't have a picture of the shirt since she left for South Carolina early this morning for a few days to see her Aunt, night shirt in the luggage.

So, thank you Gassy. Your gifts mean a lot to both me and my family: Walk off homer, my friend.

Bad pic over where we store all the military gradu.

I received my gift from Laneco this afternoon. As soon as I figure out why my iphone won't upload pix to the PC I'll post it.

But it was a beautifully wrapped box (clearly not from a dude) containing tantalizing Oregonian treats. Gary West steak strips(apparently not your standard Beef jerky), blackberry jam, blueberry oatmeal, Wild Bills Hot dills (should go nicely with the beef) and three Dagoba chocolate bars.

Thank you Angela!!

I'll get a pic up in the morning, but seahawk sent some awesome goodies! Some Magazines for my new spoon that I just built and a book on building your own airplane, which oddly enough is something I intend to do in the next five to ten years!

Thanks Seahawk! The books has been quite interesting, shows a lot of pros and cons to the various available kits and set ups, and the magazines will definitely see some use this weekend!

No, I think it's my fault. I should have turned the box the other way before addressing it.
