Favorite Present?
« on: December 26, 2011, 02:43:53 PM »
So what did everybody get for Christmas?

My two favorite were my new Excaliber dehydrator and my new Savage .17.  Coming in a close second were my nice new riding gloves.

  Hard to pick a favorite, no cycle stuff but 2 come to mind though;

1. On the way to the in-laws for Christmas dinner, noticed 2 bald eagles perched in the trees along the riverbend which paralleled the road we were on.
2. received a hardcover book; Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly.

I got too many gifts but my favorite present was being with family up in the Carolinas Christmas, and the Connie gave me another 1300 care-free miles past few days. We're all blessed yet another Christmas!  :D

Easy for me...I only got one present, an ejector for my keltec p3at.  Darn little thing gets lost pretty easily. 

Add:  forgot to add that I bought one and kel-tec sent me two with a note that said "Merry Christmas".  Thought that was pretty cool.

Can you guess which one might be the 'motorcycle-related' ? ;)



My son bought the heat gun to replace my old one he 'lost'.  I thought it was funny that he found a true Kawasaki green one.  Doesn't match my 2001 blue C-10 but I will manage.

Or, did you pick the "human hydration liquid" in the case on the right?  I have been known to celebrate at the end of a good ride with a Guinness.  Too bad I have put my C-10 away for the season here in WI.   I just will just have to skip the 'end of the ride' part and go right for a bottle of brew.

My wife and I got this from my brother in law.  His friend make it by hand and had it powdercoated copper.  It was supposed to be under $25, but I really doubt that it was.  This has to be one of my favorite gifts I have ever received.

My wife got me theater tickets for a show she wanted to see.  They are really good seating.  I am sure she used the credit card so I will get TWO surprises.  Oh well, at this point in life things can get pretty un eventful.

A little belated since my wife couldn't buy it without me knowing about it.  That won't stop me from shooting a couple hundred rounds tomorrow.   ;D

Santa brought me some Rizoma zero-11 turn signals for my sv 650 that are bright. I wish these woudl fit the c 14 for the added safety they offer. I like them, but my favorite gift is the laptop I bought for my granddaughter. The look on her face was Christmas.

I got a great after-Christmas present.  For many reasons I won't list here, I found the time and need to send a New Year's card to an old friend (female-type) whom I haven't seen in 13 years.  No, it isn't a booty call, and that part of our friendship is long gone.  But I had worried about how her life had turned out and I needed to say some things.  I got a nice call back, it turns out she is fine and happy and has had a great life, and we are going to reconnect next week. 

Life is strange.

Happy New Year to ALL!!
