    Until Christmas , I haven't done any shopping yet :rolleyes: .

    I hope all here will pass a pleasant Holiday with their Families and friends , those whom have to work or be On Duty , try to remember that anyone you come in contact with will also be under the gun working or not so try to be pleasant as they hassle you .

    It's looking like a nice warm Christmas is in store for us here in So. Cal. ~ yesterday it was nearly 70* F , to - day it's going to be in the upper 60's , nice as I am working on my 292 engines in my back yard , I'll soon update the thread over on the '67 ~ '72 page .

    I appreciate all the help and camaraderie I get here over the years , I have made Friends , always a nice thing .

    This year it looks like The Vintage Motoring Group will have a Christmas Morning drive , I'll try to attend it before going home for dinner with our Foster boys .

    That's OK Nate. My wife did enough shopping for her, you, me and a bunch of others.

    My son and I have spent the last month scouting/elk hunting, Just picked up the meat from the processors. Hope to spend some time over the next few weeks working on the brakes. Looks like a nice Christmas here in S. Az too,

    Merry Christmas Nate (and all) and thanks for the help/advice you all have provided to us this year.

    Yesterday I pent all day driving 'round our Foster boys and SWMBO in the car , LED illuminated Grille wreath merrily twinkling away , my Santa hat jauntily on my head , classic (corny might be a better description) blue snow man tie on......

    We bought each boy two pairs of $50 basketball shoes .

    Wow .

    None of them like basketball very much , I hope these Chinese rubber shoes last at least one year .

    Our Tree is up and decorated , Sean decorated it sans help / advice and did a very good job indeed .

    FOUR dyze and counting ! .

    I want to hide underneath my bed but I have to work on my 1977 292 overhaul . anyone who has the faintest interest PLEASE to read it in the '67 ~ '72 Forums , i need some help .

    Hill Boy ~ I hope you know my advice is WORTHLESS ! .

    Supposed to be sunny and in the mid-sixties here so am going to try and get into my storage yard with the badass V8 forklift to flip a truck over and get two 5' sections of C-channel frame rails. Since we had no kids there is no special celebration but usually buy each other something we want but had considered too expensive. Mine this year is a 110v under hood light, the one that is as wide as the hood with clamping ends. After using one that one of the guys has my old eyes were thinking hallelujah all year long.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my 'forum friends'. Spent this week in Disney World with Daughter, Son in Law, and two Granddaughters, (age 7 and 4 1/2). Had a good time, but now I'm sick... Too much exposure to the public germ bath!
    We still need to shop for each other, but had all the 'kids' done before we left. I really don't need anything, as I'm so lucky to have all that I do have, but don't tell Santa ;o) Truck mods on hold for a couple of weeks, but will resume right after new year.
    Again, Merry Christmas to you All, and Thank You so much for all the knowledge you all have shared with me.

    Merry Christmas to all...

    Merry Christmas to all you guys and your familys!
    We don't buy much, the kids are grown and prefer things they really need rather than just want. I do enjoy the extended family all getting together, especially my sisters grandchildren. They are very young and a joy to play with. I hope you all are well and have a great Christmas.
    I would urge everyone to re-read the original Christmas story, Luke 2:1-20.

    Merry Christmas to all as well!

    To all of you, the best.

    Some of you I have only read your posts.

    Others, I have commented on your post (worth something, or perhaps not)

    Others still I have spoken to on the phone.

    But I can assure you that once Penny is roadworthy, and we take to the roads of this great country on what I call "The Victory Tour", I look forward to meeting MANY of you.

    Tis the season

    Indeed~ I hope all here have a wonderful holiday break, whatever you might celebrate.
    I would love to celebrate seeing the sun! How many friggin cloudy days/no sun has it been here! :mad:
    Hey, at least it isn't freezing ass cold to boot.
    My daughter is the only one getting presents this year but she will forever be the best present I could ever imagine!

    It's Over

    And we made it though just fine , apart from my loosing my car keys , can't find 'em anywhere :rolleyes: .

    SWMBO's Daughter and Grand Daughter came by as did my Brother , only one of our four Foster boys stayed with us , we had enough food for TEN hungry Teenagers so hopefully they'll begin eating it when they get back .

    It was warm @ 50? F here with 50 MPH winds blowing all day , not a cloud in the sky .

    I didn't ask for anything so Santa gave us a pass this year .
