Sonnycheeba thats a seriously good score.

My Father-in-law gave me a pump a while ago, my first update from the refrigerator innards which had me up all night praying nothing popped. Father-in-laws are sometimes really great… he is an engineer and the workshop had two beautiful little pumps unused for Fifteen years.

Anyway…my wife bought me an Ipod for Xmas, just the ticket. I had secretly coveted them for a long time…

But when will they make a waterproof one!

But when will they make a waterproof one!

I hear the latest SUP’s feature cup-holders and waterproof iPod docks, standard.

My company was forced to kick me out of the office to take the mandatory two weeks away from work before the end of the year. It’s something folks call vactaion or something like that…

Going through two major systems conversions and coming on a third I’m beginning to really hate computers, the people that use them or don’t know how to use they and anything to do with the internet…

Thank god for woodworking and surfing for keep it all sane.

Plan approval for a new seperate 4 car garage on my property…except there will only be one or two cars in there…the rest of the space is MINE…all MINE! Im already eyeing the mother of all bandsaws…

I made my own.

Digital camera. Now I can start showing off some of my boards.

Missus bought me a Excel 5/4 wettie with integrated hood - nice & toasty.

The kids got me an 8 1/4" Stanley hand plane.

Cool.

How about a pair of Marlin Bacon Bamboo Keel Fins. sweeet!

Oops, pics attached

Musta been good - Santa brought me a set of the 'spensive kine shaping racks! and I glassed this one Christmas morning before the kids woke up

I got nothing materialistic…zip…nadda…squat,

But I went to Church on Christmas eve and that is what its all about.

God bless

God.

Don’t start me up Craftee…I’ve had a dose of tool window-shopping today and I might start wishing aloud!

I Got a board for stan on christmas…

Got a Ridgid 16 gal. shop vac and Greg Loehr’s Epoxy 101 Shaping and Glassing DVDs. Now I’m running out of excuses for making crappy boards. Next year maybe Santa will bring me some skill or work space? I got called off from work on Christmas so I got to spend it with the family. When I told the kids I was going to be home, their reaction was the best gift of all.
