Santa brought me a nice travel organizer for all the shaving / tooth / hair stuff.  Hangs on a door.  LL Bean makes some pretty cool stuff.  Santa was especially nice this year, also bringing a 42" plasma HDTV & a great sounding Onkyo home theater surround sound system.  He got those to the house in early November.  Guess he found a sale that was too good to pass up back then.   ;D

Now, we get to sit down to a nice prime rib dinner in an hour or so.

It's the first chin puppet I ever had!

 My computor took a dump, a mo ago.  Trevor and Barb, got me this REFERBISHED, IBM.  It sets on the desk, it's not a tower.  15" wide, 3" high, 18" deep. Has a new SAMSUNG 19" flat screen, with built in speekers.  Monitor set's right on top the computor.  That's what I got for Christmas, had it acouple of weeks.

I brought in a good haul this year. With a new shop and a few random tools my list was a good one. Lets see...
7 drawer floor standing tool chest. (Has casters but won't fit under the shop table with them on.)
7 drawer table top tool chest. (Goes on top of the floor chest, but again, won't fit under the table)
Large wall hung mini drawer nut and bolt storage bin.
Small wall hung medium and mini drawer nut and bolt storage bin.
6 gallon wet/dry shop vac
Large speed square
Chalk line with extra chalk
Kit of a level, combination square, sliding t-bevel, and shop pencils
11mm combination wrench (Only one I needed to complete my kit)
1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive socket holders with marked handles
2 small quick grip clamps... I think dad saw me eyeing his the other day
Various clothes, bras, socks
4 Wine glasses (I don't even drink wine, they are for when mom comes over)
New mirrored visor for my helmet
And best of all? Enough money from all the aunts/grandmother to get an ipod. WOO HOO.

Yes, I know... I'm a spoiled little brat and had a big Christmas, but I appreciate everything I received and the people who gave it.
And now... I'm off to organize my shop. Yay.
Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year
Tiff.

11mm combination wrench (Only one I needed to complete my kit)

haha I got one of those a couple years back... I swore I had one, accused my son of scarfing it, and got one from "Santa"..

now that I think about it....I don't think they come in a "set"  ::)

but he did take the lost hacksaw... and new one came with the wrench... what the hacksaw was doing in the attic access in his closet is still an unsolved mystery  ;)

Way to go Kiawrench! I got a 40 degree "summer" sleeping bag and a windshield for the 4wheeler.   

A new gun locker!

And I acquired my neighbour's old (1986) 250cc single cylinder Skidoo... 'cause it needed help (the sled, not the neighbour!)

A tamron 18-250 mm zoom lens for my digital camera :-)

Santa was great to us.  Delivered a 24" Samsung widescreen monitor for the computer.  Our catalogued movies never looked better.

Humor gnome t-shirt and a candle from the ex.

Bowie knife that needs to have the blade cleaned, M&M Poker tin (2 decks of cards and a couple stacks of chips) & a 3-ring binder with comics and trade paperbacks from the parents I think they got at the local small-town auction.  Most of the comics are Batman though and seem to be from the 80s so might end up being worth a l'il depending.

I was hoping to get myself a bike lift or at least the time to work on it but so far no-go. :(

Why is the knife dirty o_o

I dunno, there's some kinda dried brownish crud on it from the tip about halfway up. :P

Naw, actually it's just a spot or two up near the handle that should clean up alright.  My family seems to like givin' me jacked-up blades, my brother gave me a katana for my birthday one year that needs all kind of help.  I'm not even a smith hobbyist or anything.
