My wife, she's a keeper. Under the tree I find this... :shock:View attachment Christmas morning.JPG

Every single Beatles Lp ever. 8) BTW, in 1964 the cristmas tree had a stero and a copy of hard days night. Needless to say, those lp's from when I was 6 years old no longer exist. Somehow, with 1,828 CD's in I tunes, we only had like, 2 beatles CD's in there.

Fixed now! 8)
 
That is cool. My wife spoiled me too. I snagged an old Blender magazine from the dr. office the other day. Hell it was from 2008 and had a bunch of pages ripped out so wtf. Anyway it had an interview with Ringo where he talks about the early days. Cool stuff. Can't wait to put my new tachometer in my 60 Chevtruck. Got a cool 24 inch lcd with dvd and it has computer inputs so I gotta try that badboy hooked to my laptop :mrgreen: Oh and I got a variety six pack of beer and little rum variety mmm.
 
i got a magicshine 900 front light and the magicshine rear tail light. I'm a lucky dude!
 
A day out walking with wolves at the Wolf Conservation Trust - pure magic!

I am very jealous of that. :mrgreen: Did they allow pictures, and if so did you take any?



I have no tree (Hachi would have eaten it if I did have one), but....

Only thing that is actually specifically a Christmas present is from someone at work (don't know who yet, as I haven't matched the pretty writing to anyone's yet, but I think it is the store manager): a pack of cookies from the dollar store, with a $25 gift card for that store (which is pretty useful, as that will buy potentially more than 25 things I can use or need).

Lots of other stuff (almost all for the bike projects) that could be counted as such, from the last few months, mostly from ES members, but was probably not really intended as such. :)

Most recent of those was a full propane tank for a BBQ grill (itself recently given away by a friend of a friend when he got a new one, a few weeks back). I'm considering figuring out an adapter from it to a propane torch head I have around here somewhere (with no tank)....


But probably the best gift is having the day off as a paid holiday, and it being a really nice day with a good breeze (but not high winds). :)
 
My first Lipo-powered vehicle:Solo Pro V2 with case.jpg

I've never flown a helicopter before, let alone a fixed wing airplane. The learning curve is pretty steep. I've crashed the poor little thing dozens of times, but it's still in one piece. I bounced it off the ceiling once and it dropped like a rock. Still intact. This one has a gyro like the one in a Segway to help stabilize the yaw axis. I need all the help I can get.

jmygann,

You gotta try pineapple. Lot's of dried fruits down here, and the pineapple pieces are far and above our family's favorite. Don't know what they do in the process, but it ends up like candy and no sticky mess.
 
My best present was the one that was not there. Dear daughter decided that as I requested nothing for Christmas, she gave $100 to the Salvation Army. I think that is the most useful Christmas present I have ever received. When you think it buys 30 Christmas dinners, that is a hard present to beat.
Merry Christmas to all. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
DOH! friends and relatives did not get the news that I was building a trike and cannibalizing the upright bike :? . so I got a seatpost-mount rack and a rear view mirror! for the trike, that has no seatpost, or handlebars :( . getting a ggoodrum BMS tho, so that more than makes up for it.

I was invited to go play in some Rocky Mountain snow. So I did.

The track dropped about 90 feet top to bottom ending with a small lip good for some airtime.

All flying tubists ended up doing face plants in the soft snow of the landing zone.
Snowmobiles made it easy to get to the top of a nearby ridge.

And night time was perfect for cruising the woods in this contraption.

What a blast. Too bad it`s back to real life now.
 
I have a question related to this thread, in a way:

If a person is trying to be "green" and reduce carbon emissions with his EV, but misbehaves, does he get dead batteries instead of coal in his stocking? ;)

The festival is celebrated as Christmas was originally a pagan festival of the winter solstice was marked by an evergreen, a record, and giving and receiving gifts. The Catholic Church Christianized the pagan celebration in an attempt to convert more people to religion. Most Bible scholars agree that Jesus was most likely born in September I think.

They changed the Pagan Holiday "Candlemas" (more light) , sun returning after the solstice .... so they could convert the Pagans , or at least take over their holiday.
 
That was just a spam post to advertise the advert link in the sig, most probably from a spambot, rather than a person..................
