I'm off now till Christmas day then I work 15 days straight thru the Holidays, but the money is all good.
Took a Rock to the Raptor windsheild the other day. Ins. Co. told me tough $hit its on my deductable. Called several Glass places and they told me 50 bucks, no garuntee, and the chip will still be seen. *** that, went to O'Riellys and brought a DIY kit for 10 bucks. It's as good as they were going to do.
Had our small families Christmas last night with the Christmas Pizza being served
. I got a Raptor Hoodie (well at least a paper saying its on Backorder), and a set of Hot Wheels (45th Mustang edition). I did all my Christmas shopping yesterday at the Bank (Cash is King).
The big Family will be Christmas eve. My in-laws brought me my new Spark plugs (well 4 of them).
So HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all my good friends here and I hope all our Holiday wishes come true.

Karen and I want to wish all you Midwestern folks, Dirk in Iraq and Ed in British Columbia the best and safest holiday season. I won't be around much for the next week so we want to extend greetings a little earlier than normal. You all be safe and I will yak at you later next week. I may "pop in and out" over the next day or so. It seems to be the fashionable thing to do lately.
