Lying in bed and listening to my daughters, ages 2 & 4, walking down the stairs and hear the oldest say....."YES!" when she noticed the presents under the tree. Then both of them running into our bedroom with huge eyes saying, "Wake up, Santa was here!"
That will never get old......

I paid a few bills for a Remington M1903A3 Springfield rifle. I have already ordered a new barrel and stock for it. When I'm finished restoring it I'll post some pictures.

Anyone want to share?

Please do me a favor and keep me in the loop should you find another one.

03A3 with a C stock would be ideal. All we are seeing around here are old broken junk, sporters, and badly refinished pieces.

Congrats!

A big, warm melt-your-heart kind of smile from my sis, after reading the CPT. Ivan Castro thread update, thanks to the power not going out after the blizzard yesterday!

I had two Christmas'...

The family of my heart Christmas Eve.. A Riveter's Forge, indoor plumbing*, not having to cook for 30+ people, promise of pick of the litter for a brittany spaniel.
*- indoor meaning the last of the 3 domes that comprise my woods house was finished, finally, there is now a roof over my head and shower.

Christmas Day, with my blood family..
WiFi router, a bag of Hershey's 'naughty' kisses with a gold bracelet inside.

I got a iMac 27" 2.8Ghz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

I just ordered and received this 27” iMac on 04 December. I'm going from a 17" Flat screen iMac, so the size of the new screen was a REAL change! Pictures and some MS Power Point files really look good on it!

The speed of it really dazzles me! Again I'm use to that much slower iMac.

I ordered it pretty standard for that i7 configuration. 4GB SDRAM, 1TB Serial ATA Drive, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB, 8x double - layer Super drive, Magic (Wireless) Mouse and Wireless Key board.

I've had no problems using the FW setup to transfer files over to the new Computer from the old one. Of course, my OS 9x stuff will not run in the new OS 10.6x along with a few from OS 10.4.11.

I'm VERY happy with the new guy! (So far.)

That screen is just humongus!

Tis the season for sharing. Opened it up Christmas Eve and poured everyone a snort. Still have most of the bottle it's very good.

Once it gets below the lable, all bets are off, it's yours, enjoy!

And never with ice.

Sounds like everyone made out pretty well. Its nice to be home and safe in America knowing so many weren't able to say the same for their Christmas day.

I got me a nice custom setup Warlord from Gene over at HSGI. I'm pretty excited. I've been wearing the old version for a couple years this new one made to my spec ought to be a blast.

Also got some great historical books from Dad. One comparing/contrasting Rommel and Patton looks especially interesting.

This year was especially nutty as I also have a wedding pending for April 2010. The future HH6 had a shower last week and picked up numerous other gifts we registered for so we will be way loaded down on the way home. Can't wait to try out all the new kitchen toys. :D
