    Today we celebrated with my wife's family, tomorrow we celebrate with mine. So far, I got an oil filter wrench from my step-daughter along with a book about Route 66, a Doc Hudson matchbox (from CARS), a case of Guinness from my step-son with a note saying "thanks for working on my car", a couple thermal shirts, candy and beef jerky.
     
  5. My family chipped in to get My O/T 1979 Ford f250 Supercab painted. :D:cool::D I got a call from the painter on Wednesday....it's in paint and next week they will finish putting it back together. right?! I know.... awesome.....my family rocks!

    Well I hate to brag but my Father-in-Law got me a aspirin bottle of rusty screws, a piece of magnetic tape and a string of dingle balls.

    I gave him an old shop rag, a dirty single spark plug wire, a crummy machine tool light (the bulb might actually work) and a grimey set of worn out valve springs.

    It's become a tradition every year for us to exchange gag gifts (none store bought) and actually the nieces and nephews say it is the highlight of the day.

    My bargain sniffing daughter gave a Tonka Boat Transport Truck with the original box that she found at an estate garage sale for $2.00. I'm hoping for a sand box for Father's Day.

    Her companion of 20 something years had it stashed away before he passed away a couple of years ago.
    Other than that it was
    one flannel shirt
    one quilted flannel shirt
    one hoodie
    magazine rack
    Can of Almond Roca
    Laptop desk for my lap (no more hot laptop on the boys)
    Bottle of wine and a bottle of Black Velvet Reserve.

    The car goodies will come when my bonus from work shows up. Me to me stuff.

    I got tools.....lotsa tools....you know, the kind you often need once in awhile but dont wanna take the funds away from the project to buy em to make your life easier?

    S Wrenches, Angle wrenches, stubby wrenches, obstruction wrenches, impact sockets of all types and crows feet...(She's a keeper)

    But the coolest gift I got was from my 4 year old hot rodder son....he wrapped up and gave me his prized racecars (hotwheels) as well as his favorite monster truck...

    I lent them back to him for an indeterminite amount of time...I thought the thought was awesome that he would be willing to give up his favoritest belongings to the dude thats the enforcer round the house....

    He's a good kid.

    Finally my wife got me the most expensive present anyone has ever gotten me....its the second time she gave this present to me...I'm pretty stoked. Seems we'll be welcoming another prospective hot rod kid into out family in about 7 months...hopefully this one will go all the way to fruition unlike the last pregnancy.

    Here's hopin...

    Yeah I know its after Christmas...but merry christmas blokes....I'm still listening to christmas CD's scince the radio aint playin it anymore.
