What did ya get for Christmas?

You guys got some pretty awesome stuff. Mine wasn't quite as fancy, but still a great time with family and friends.

15lb bag of Waffle House Coffee and Electric grinder
Lego Coffee Mug
Lowes Gift Cards and cash
Milwaukee Pen Light
Stanley Shop/Work/Stand Light
Kentucky Mule Drink kit (including a giant bottle of Woodford's Reserve!)
Socks and T-Shirts

Probably going to put the cash towards a Garmin Fenix watch, or maybe a Lucky13Cone for the boat.
 
Y'all got some pretty cool stuff for Christmas! I didn't really get any 'boat' specific stuff, but we have been resupplying our new to us cruiser and stuff for the dock all of fall. We did get a countertop oven from my in-laws for the dock which is boat related. I got a RTIC 30 softsided cooler in white camo and a Costa long sleeve sun shirt that can be boat related I guess. I've got Seadek coming for the swimdeck on the Sea Ray as well as adding a rear bimini and new rear encloser panels to go with it. Should all be installed in the next month or two. I'll post some pics when it all gets done. Moving to our brand new boat house sometime in February, can't wait! We're in a temporary spot now. Our Yamaha wasn't showed any love this year yet unfortunately, her new big sister has been keeping us busy.
 
my wife received a 2017 Sequoia Limited. We originally had a 2004 4runner, so i am looking forward to pulling the boat with the new rig.
 
Ya'll got some nice stuff. Got a boatload (ha!) of Amazon Gift Cards. Chartplotter shopping :)
 
Yea, I had a pretty good year overall. I have absolutely ZERO to complain about. Forgot to add in the truck and the boat that we bought this year under the guise of "no big Christmas presents because of this" :D :D
 
NICE LIST!!

I took the wife to NYC for an early xmas present (since I had to work the holidays this year). She on the other hand got me a new set of DeWalt power tools and free reign at the Field and Stream store when it had 25% off your entire purchase.
Got a great Streamlight TLR1 light for my Sig, and a YETI panga 75L duffel bag

Best present though was when my 11 y/o son jumped up and gave me a big hug when he saw his new crossbow!
 
O I forgot got my best present I have ever got, is my wife , A month before Christmas my wife and I Got married after being in love for 18 year's together in Jamaica at Rockhouse nagril . And there were some Yamaha jetboats on 7 mile beach
 
Ttr110 for my boy and a DRZ400 for me. new bow roller for the trailer.

We got a new boating buddy. His name is Triton.

@Bruce , ended up getting the iPhoneX's instead of 8's. Deciding factor was the camera setup for us. Restoring from backup as I type.
 
I got an obscure package from Amazon we could not figure out who it was from. I open the thing up and there is this big aluminum pot with a crank on the side. I was thinking, WTF is this and who sent it. After unpacking and looking at it I realized it is a popcorn maker. It's a "Whirley Pop" by Wabash Valley Farms. It came with a couple pre-measured kits of popcorn that have the oil, movie theater salt, and corn in a plastic bag. My wife and I LOVEEEEE movie theater popcorn, so the stranger that bought this hit a home run!!.. We made a batch as soon as we were done cleaning up from opening gifts. It was amazing!! I have to admit there is something kind of fun and relaxing about standing there cranking that handle and listening to the popcorn pop!!

I find out later is was my Dad that sent it to me and he did it off Amazon from his phone and couldn't figure out how to write a message!!!
 
Stove top popcorn, you have to love that! We have that popper too. With that crank handle and the stirring legs, no burning!

I had a DRZ400S about 8 years ago. Great bike for the trail riding. Get you a manual CCT as that is one of the first mods we used to do to them since the auto tensioner can be suspect. Perhaps Suzuki revised it since the time I had one. Have fun and check out advrider as that is where I used to lurk when I did dual sport riding.
