My wife gave me a really nice new iPad.
128GB 9.7 inch 2017model WiFi
I was not expecting it. Wow.
Now I FReep without eye strain.
I really like it but I didn't’t want her to spend that much.
There was too much phone staring going on for her I guess.

Some gift cards to favorite places.

Perry Mason S8 1 & 2.

Digital caliper (good Amazon rating)

Pen voltage tester.

Willys Jeep sales and service reproduction sign. Looks good in the new garage. Gave it a splash of color.

Some cash.

I’ll do my budget and forecast for the next couple of weeks and if the checkbook says so, something higher end for me which is a macro lens for my GH4.

When I transitioned to Lumix for 4K, I missed my Canon 100mm fixed macro the most.

If the picture isn’t so rosy, a radiator and support piece for the now crankable 79 K5. The reman quadrajet from Amazon looks really good. Settings wise it is really close.

That reminds me of the story The Gift Of The Magi.

My gift of socks reminds me of The Gift Of The Magi after they’ve been married for a while and the husband called his wife’s mother an old bat.

I think that’s what gives shoppers the Christmas spirit: it’s so much fun to give.

That is a plus right there.

Friday I’m going attempt some guerilla body repair on the dent and retangular gash someone gave me last month. I don’t know where or when exactly.

Eventually I will have a few things to paint. Bodywork is a major labor thing and takes a lot of patience.

I got 4 days off of work, which is big. Also some casual shirts I really wanted, a couple of massage gift cards, a couple JoAnn Fabrics gift cards, some socks I needed, 2 lovely sweaters, cashews (YUM). A calendar with pictures of the 4 grandchildren for each month. Best part was time with the family, and some time to sew (should have been doing house cleaning chores...).

Many other intangibles to celebrate this year! Slightly lower health insurance premiums for 2018, very slightly lower real estate taxes for 2018, a little more income to keep instead of paying in income taxes...

Things seem much more promising than they did 18 months ago, for sure! This seems to be related to Making America Great Again!

Much better than leather bads.

At least I think so.

I got a gold watch chain for my pocket watch.

Sadly, I had sold the watch to buy a set of jewelled combs for my young wife.

Probably caught it from those penguin Cubs you’ve been feeding to lions or whatever.
