Our whole family decided not to do gifts this year. It was just my 95 year old dad, Mrs. Fish and myself for Christmas. The rest of the family stayed away. So the only gifts I received where the ones I purchased for me online.

Sheesh. |
Years ago I got one at the SV2s Christmas Party. It's up every year. Mines a standard. Yours looks like it might be a deluxe.

Here is my haul for Christmas to help work on the new bus. Heater for the garage so I can work all winter, buffer, tools, mag, and a "Don't be a bushole" t-shirt.

Yikes, 95.
A long time ago I met him when I dropped off your bearing-puller onto your sailboat over the fence. I figured I'd better say hi so he didn't think I was a miscreant. |

Just got the go-ahead for this, because my wife said she didn't get me "enough" (she got me plenty - way more than I expected), a panel bender

They probably did not make the cookie jar in the twenty-three window configuration because of the structural issues involved  Those are some nice gifts ya got there!!

I turned 50 a few weeks ago. My wife commissioned a drawing of my truck from a guy on Etsy. It has pride of place on my office wall.
Best present ever...
