What did Santa Bring?

What? Did you not have enough blue tape?
 
Had 12 (including the new grand daughter...13 days old) over, hosted Christmas Breakfast for all, tore it all down, laid the pre-arranged tracks, spent the next 4-1/2 hours delivering packages by train (family tradition....when the kids host, I bring trains and track), then drove an hour north to the BIG family gathering and dinner!
Got some stogies, a new cordless phone (just in time), some neat books and booklets, new Submarine Veteran's ball cap, an 1861-1961 celebration book from my hometown (and I was there in 1961!), and a coffee mug for the FB group I'm on, Old Fogies from Bishop.
Got my ironworker son a US Made vise....cannot believe he didn't have one....took a long time to locate...the guy who had it didn't find it until Thursday......have to have one, as we now get to put the 3/4 race 50 Merc together, and putting pistons on rods and rings on pistons without said vise is....difficult, at best.
Oh, and a new DVD player......the ancient one I inherited won't play all tracks of some of the DVD's I have received!

Who made it, Dave? Where'd you have to go to get it? I have a Chinese ~thing~ my old man got for me decades ago, it has finally cracked. Now useless enough it needs to go for scrap iron. I want a good one to replace it.
 
I'll just need to keep my ferrets on the look-out, then. :wink:
 
We had beautiful unseasonable weather (I did not miss having any snow) and a very nice family get-together.

The list:
100 pack of nitril gloves
Center punch-spring loaded
Test light
Beer
A music CD
A DVD
Also a Flip video cam-anyone want to see my family Christmas video? :jester:
 
Also unseasonably warm weather here. All my family is in America (both people) and my wife's family is all out traveling, so it was only myself, wife and daughter for christmas. We still had candles on the tree, danced around it and sang Danish christmas songs.

For presents, I only got what I bought for myself. Mostly parts for the Mini and for the bicycles.
