[Josh]

Its that time of year again. So lets here em. What do you want for Christmas this year? If you can figure it out post a pic to give some visuals to the thread. I think the one thing I can think of for me doesn't make sense till I am out of school :cool: Xbox 360 looks really attractive this year. This may have to be a graduation gift in a couple years :D

Oceanic VT3

I need a new dive computer to replace my older cobra. Wireless ones are about a billion times more convienent and nice because you can interfeace them with your pc to create dive profiles and what not. My dad has the same model and it's amazing. When we dive together I can even be a good buddy and check on his air pressure on my computer.

Wow that is mighty generous of you Josh. Just feel free to give me anything Ridgid related and I will find a use for it.

Mark:D

BTW: All kidding aside I purchased a variety of things from the Ridgid store a few months back and have to say that is some nice stuff at great prices. You guys should all figure out a way to send a link to your better-halves.

[mrs. westcoast]

Don't have one for myself..


I was gonna buy ridgid impact driver for my hubby,but then i found out makita has 18v lithium ion battery,and also they were running a special on amazon 4 piece cordless set sawzall,imact driver,drill,2 lithium batteries,charger,light for $349 with free shipping and no taxes:)

The day after i got it they increased the price to $379.

Costco sells it for that price too

mine is simple, my son is going to maryland on dec15-30th to be with his grand parents so i will be alone that day:( so i might just might take a ride on the bike, i have not really had a chance to get on it and ride latly but i would like to see the sun rise over the beach on the east side of the state then ride back here to the west side of the state to see the sun set on the the beach. be alone with my thoughts and to talk with family and friends on the phone thought out the day. also i want every one our troops to have a safe day and to be able to relax as much as they can.

i am though with the sorrow in my life and the depresstion was starting to get to me, thanks giving was a hard day for me, then i realized i had the best gift anyone could ever wish for................ my son.:)

[Gene Bickford]

I just want my mom to get better. Everyday she is improving but every other day something else pops up. I'm beginning to wonder if this is the downward spiral:(. It's been 28 days shes been in the hospital and they said she would be in and out in 3 days. She at least just yesterday is able to nod yes or no.

[oldslowchevy]

gene i know kinda of what you are going though, you have my prayers and my thoughts.

[threecreeks3]

To be with my son during his 2nd christmas in this world and to put back together the john deere pedal tractor I have for him.Unfortunately I cant get there to be with him.

I know it's not the same as being there, but could the peddle tractor be shipped to you? If yes, then you could put it together and find a huge box and ship it back to him ready to use.

OSC
Weather permitting please do take that special bike ride. I bet it really does you good.

For everyone I will pray for safety and health.

I'm not sure what I want as I really haven't given it much thought yet. I do want to clean up my huge junk pile and hopefully find good new homes for most of it. That will be a nice present from me to me.

[biscuit]

Well, I have been fortunate most of my life and dont really need/want a lot. The only problem is I do have two things I want, but they are kind of big ticket items.

I told the wife I either wanted to be able to order a new truck (pic below) mostly for hauling the horses(yeah right she said), Or to able to start construction on my new office/workshop addition. I figure cost will be about the same for either one.

On a sad note, I have yet to receive a response for here:crying:

[Gene Bickford]

"But, honey, it's for the the horses":trash-him::D:D:D

"But, honey, it's for the the horses":trash-him::D:D:D


Thats what I said and got the "yeah right" comment.

Although there is still hope, I did catch her looking at the plans for the office/shop addition. She really does want me to move my office out of the main house or at least upstairs.

Regards,

[biscuit]

Well, its semi-official. The wife says I need the truck, she thinks it just looks like another toy:mad:.

The home addition is a "maybe" after the first of the year;).

But I almost dropped the phone when she asked if I needed some additional tools for the proposed new shop. I asked her to define "needed". That was not wise on my part:eek:.:speechless:

Oh well, we will see how it goes after I finally get home tonight.

Did you leave out a "do not" in between the "I" and the "need"?

[biscuit]

Did you leave out a "do not" in between the "I" and the "need"?

Mark

Yep, I sure did; Or that could have been wishful thinking on my part.

Come to think of it, I am pretty sure she stated that there was no way in hell I was getting that truck to pull the horses with.

[HVAC HAWK]

well i want a video camera so i can win and go see josh and see the 2nd and 3rd place winners also :D

[biscuit]

Well, its official. The truck is out, and the addition is out:mad:.

Now she wants to toss around the idea of building a new home on some property we own nearby or purchase other property to build. Like I dont already have enough to do.

I would love to build a new home again, but just not right now. She even went as far as to offer a bribe. She said as soon as the dirtwork is underway, I can buy the Navistar truck:mad:, She knows damn well I would not do it at that time.

Anway, I dont know what I will end up with, There are several boxes wrapped around two of the trees with my name on them.

Heck, all kidding aside, I really dont need/want anything other than to be able to spend some time with the wife which is something we dont seem to be able to do anymore.

Material things I do not need. She will purchase just about anything I mention I would like to have. You have to be careful what you say if you see something around her.

I will be out of town on Xmas eve at my in-laws and my moms on Christmas day until my brother and I slip out of town to hunt for 3 full days. Return early morning on the 29th and head Memphis for the Liberty bowl (wife will be with me on this one) and retun on New Years eve. So I wont be around after early tomorrow morning.

Hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable Christmas Holiday and New Years.


Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
