Ok everyone... Post up what you got for Christmas! I made out like a bandit this year!

  1. Gopro Karma Drone
  2. Samsung Gear S3 Watch
  3. Amazon Echo show
  4. A book on the ICW
Yup... Clearly a geek! LOL
 
My wife got me thrust vectors during the JBP sale. Thank you for the awesome pricing! @JetBoatPilot


I often said I would like to have them just so others can drive the boat and give me a break. Now summer just needs to get here
 
Nothing for the boat this year. Oh well, wouldn’t be able to use it for a few months anyway. Freeze advisory in effect for eastern NC! :(
 
Peace and Quiet.... best gift ever

Wife let me binge watch The Defenders on Netflix
 
Got a Weber Q1200 for trying our hand at grilling on the boat. Now I just need to figure where to store and where to cook. :bored:
 
A shotgun, AppleWatch, a portable jump pack, a bunch of gift cards and cash.
 
My wife bought me a Supra SE 550!!
































Yea right.

I got my wife the 256gb X. She was overdue for a new phone.

Got my 11yo daughter a KLX140. After 12 months of her ripping on a 1977 XR75, she was ready for an upgrade!

Even though it was 22°, that didn’t stop her from putting in 3 hours of riding today.

Man that XR75 brings back some memories!! I grew up riding ours on island trails on Lake Mitchell. The gas cap always leaked but that was part of the character and charm knowing you could catch on fire at any moment but didn't care a bit. Miss that little booger!! We also had the successor XR80 but it lacked all the charm of the old school metal gas tank.

Yup. This one leaks too. My kids knees always smell of gas but at least the tank is always clean!

This xr75 was a trash find. Just needed two new tires and a shot of ether. I also put Harley shocks on it. It’s a real blast!
 
Some movies, a new board game ("Onitama") and a 3rd controller for "my" PS4 so that I can play too... (on games that allow it).

Onitama is VERY addictive. It's a fairly quick play (10-15 minutes) but you can sit there for hours playing it over and over.
 
I got an anchor and some thing called Date Night Bucket list which is a small container with Popsicle sticks in it with date ideas on them I'm beginning to wonder if my marriage is not in trouble after receiving that one. I mean they could have at least made it interesting and left the popsicle sticks blank so I could could fill them in with my bucket list date ideas and she had to do them as part of the gift now that would have been a Christmas gift! Instead I have to pull a stick out and have it tell me we should go to a lecture at a museum :eek:

shopping
 
9 degrees outside but the grill got up above 600 to cook up a nice pizza.20171227_183028.jpg
 
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier smart watch and a new S8 phone to pair it to. LED light strips (to complete the runway light mod on our trailer). A pair of new hiking boots. In-laws got us a new set of tires for the Ram, some Columbia SPF fishing shirts, a pizza stone for our grill and gift cards to all of our favorite places from Harbor freight and Home Depot to Kroger, Walmart and Moe's. Very blessed.
