Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! So what did you get?

I got some clothes, cologne, gift cards, Star Trek dvd, and money for 914 parts Going to buy some SS fuel lines and some rubber from 914rubber.com. I also got to spend some quality time with my family, some I don't see too often.

Well, I'm an old fart, so "toys" are rare these days.

Did get a rear bumper top from Mikey, though it will go on the next 914, along with the front from Mikey (by the way, these are better than Factory & a hel of alot less expensive).

Also got some 12 year old Cragganmore & a some clothes/socks, as well as a much needed jacket.

Off to Cincinnati tomorrow to visit the Family. Presents are barred - just good times & revelry. Can't wait!

I got a garmin by default. I gave it to my dad, but his GF gave him a tom tom. I like it. A universal remote from Santa (me) to replace the one my daughter lost, and some $$ to help with my next car project.

I bought my wife a Wii. I just posted in the sandbox a thread wondering about people wanting to play across the internet. Now to order Mario Kart, and see if I can learn some tricks from my 8 year old niece on how to play.

She got a mini mill for me to go with my CNC controllers and such from my abandoned router table project. It's supposed to show up in two weeks. (it was backordered from the factory)

Haynes finally came out with a manual I badly needed. I can finally change out that fuel pump on the Lunar Lander.

I received nothing. Might buy myself an umbrella top or two for a couple of my teener. Other than that, nada.

Sandy and I had rock placed on the shore at the lake. We have been working one this lot for three years now and hope to build a new house in a couple years. The lot is 4 acres with 330' of frontage on a private bay. The work was completed in November but the bill arrived just before Christmas. So... This was our gift to each other. It's hard to photo from the shore. Now that the lake is frozen I need to get up there and get a new photo.

What the hell do you mean, the "lake is frozen"? Frozen?

Gettin tiggy wit it..

I got my son a new bike and a tire pump. My daughter told him that the pump was a pogo stick and proceeded to try it out, funniest damn thing I have seen in a while

Yep it's frozen about two weeks after they finished placing the rocks.

My son took this on 12-23-09

Is that a banjo or a snow shovel.

I got myself a fifth of Crown Royal and drank the whole thing
Merry Christmas

banjo. My youngest son is a musician. He graduated from McNally Smith with an AAS and is now in UMD working on his BA. He's a bassist but plays everything. The banjo is his latest conquest. He's studying blue grass music and the vocal style called "High Lonesome."

Here's a link to Rosco Holcomb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wGgvbHcgyc

Also the old timey music like Ralph Stanley.

This is the same kid that used to play is a metal band...

I received a can of Wasabi peas, a bag o' Thai Beef Jerky, a bottle of Gorilla Glue and an iPhone.

I got a 90 Mk2 Jetta GLI 16v. I put shift linkage bushings in it yesterday. Adjusting the linkage is a little like a 914!

Santa was good to me this year.
$50.00 gift certificate to Pelican parts
Three Porsche calendars for home,work and man room.
Refrigerated beer dispensor !
Various gift certificates to Home Depot, Lowes and local parts stores.
A $120.00 certificate to stay at B&B in St. Augustine, that's for me and the wife.
Usual stocking stuffer items...............it was a good year.

Wife & I were invited to our daughter's house Christmas Day. I played with the grandchildren (Megan-3, Jacob-5 & Joshua-7) all day building LEGO and roughhousing with them.

The big Christmas gift. I
We were building a LEGO (648) piece 3-in-1 Sport Car set with the two boys & I was brain washing their young mush minds with things. I said to Joshua, are you going to be an engineer? Yes, because I am good at math. Then, I asked Jacob are you going to be a doctor?? No, he said Megan is going to be the doctor, I am going to be an engineer and build PORSCHE cars for you Papa. Now can you beat that Christmas present!!! My grandkids are going to build Porsche cars for their Papa. I am one happy grandparent.

Tom

Spending the day with my son and watching him build all 10 lego sets he got from Santa and us. As for the wife and me technically nothing, but in 2008 we went for it and bought our time share in Maui. For us it was one of the best things we have done. Every year we spend two weeks in Hawaii so that is our Xmas gift to each other.

A new open face helmet. I no longer need my old closed face jobbie.
It was making this 4eyed old fart crazy.

I got a plastic candy cane filled with Reeses Cups. At least I got something this year.

I got a case of Koshihikari Echigo Beer and the 914 got a new windshield. I spent a lot of money on me this Xmas on a Pioneer Elite A/V receiver and a 6 piece Makita Lithium Ion tool combo set.

I got a rock.

Looks like you were over in my hometown! I recognize Kilauea! I lived in Hilo and could see Mauna Kea from my front window.

I got to order new set of RS heads from ACH.

Front suspension rebuild stuff.. Poly Bronze bushings and Lemfoerder ball joints and turbo tie rods. Got some cash that will go toward car parts, anf a few gift cards.. Tore apart the front end on the car Christmas day as I couldn't wai to see how a proper front setup will drive.

Pants, Underware, cash for 914 parts, amazon gift card, few books, and the best one....

a santa suit for the wife

I got a stocking full of chocolates, a good knife, and several great books on the subject of living aboard and traveling on a family-sized sailboat. Also an excellent book on the physics of tuning a sailboat rig, illustrated nicely. Fun to study.

The GF got me a 3rd Gen iPod shuffle (4gig) and a silicone case for my iPhone. Parent's gave me $$$. Relatives i also got $$$, a knit blanket and some PJ bottoms.

Dan, with all that $$$ you could get yourself back into a 914

I got myself a pair of Deep Six Fuchs and a complete set of adjustable koni's (ebay), eventually will be installed on my -6 once it's restored.

Thanks Santa

Llyods floor matts in black with the red Porsche logo...I like them a lot and make a nice difference in the interior, my wife bought them, cool !!

Pics???

A Rubik's Cube!

You're not on Superior then... That almost never freezes. What lake are you on? I grew up on Lake Elmo outside of St. Paul and we had a cabin (3 bedroom house really) on Lake Minnewawa. For a while here in California I had a houseboat on the Sacramento River and Yopu said she never saw me looking more relaxed and peaceful as when I was on the roof at sunset watching the water...

Awesome. You'll have good times with the family there for a long time!

I got a TV just big enough to see the hockey puck finally.

I got a digital camera that is small enough to fit in my pocket. Pain in the tail to have to drag that DSLR around and worry about setting it down... Yopu got the same digital camera and an iPod to replace the iPod that Nicho borrowed and then lost after they both got iPods for Christmas last year. Within two weeks he lost the iPod, a digital camera, and his mother's iPod. Needless to say, he got socks and underwear for Christmas this year. At least if he loses those it will be a good story...

That's what I got too!

A whole bunch of magnetic tool holders so I could ditch the top box on my roll away and replace it with a 39" high by 32" wide cabinet with all of my sockets and wrenches lining the back wall....Man, it's so nice not to dig in a drawer for a socket.

I gotta rock!

I will post in the sand box. I feel like I'm hi-jacking christmas.
