Title: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: SIGNGUY on December 27, 2010, 05:38:53 pm If youve been a good boy or girl, Santa must have brought you something?
I got a few power tools for the shop, and some other household Gadgets.. Guess he couldn't fit the RC 81 in my stocking?... hmmm What did you get? Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: collecture on December 27, 2010, 06:18:50 pm Not a whole lot...notably a metal detector so I can scour the back yard for nails and fun at the CA beach with the kids in the summer. Also a cool National Geographic Coffee Table book called "Drives Of A Lifetime - 500 Of The World's Most Spectacular Trips". We spent more on the kids this year than each of us!
I have been picking up toy shrapnel for 2 days now. Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: Chris on December 27, 2010, 06:21:35 pm I got my Vendo 80 that I picked up at Thanksgiving, Slot machine, and a cool Coca-Cola straw holder.

Only soda related item I got was a RE-POP Ice cold Coca-Cola sold here sign from the girlfriend. So that will look good in the garage... Got some large metric sockets so I can work on my dirt bike and go wreck it some more...

I was also happy that my daughter made it home from Chicago for Christmas , She was going to do AMTraK but they sold out really quick then she heard from one of her friend that was comeing home who's parents live Brighton she made the call and was lucky because the car was filling up quick . :smile: Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: BrianB on December 29, 2010, 07:59:24 am I was surprised on Christmas morning to find a 3-peice Craftsman toolbox set sitting out in the garage!! I was definitely in need of a good toolbox set-up and for some reason couldn't justify $4000 for a Snap-On roll around, go figure! Needless to say I was super-stoked and I spent the better part of Christmas night swapping & organizing my new boxes! And to add to it all, she told me that she had ordered another 4-drawer section that is due in hopefully sometime this week! :biggrin:
The little kids, 12, 2 1/2 & 1, got me a box of "retro" sodas and a box of retro candy. I used the candy to fill the display windows in my Stoner Jr. :biggrin: According to my wife, I'm difficult to shop for......Buying for a collector is hard unless you yourself collect or know somebody close to the family that does. So, I have never really given her a hard time about that. She's been watching American Pickers with me and Pawn Stars and is gaining some knowledge..... :laugh: Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: 90grad on December 29, 2010, 08:13:35 am We also put the Christmas $$ towards the kids. However, the my daughter (6) gave me a key ring to put one of the machine keys on, and my son (eight) gave me a small LED flashlight that is really bright. Unfortunately, the wife and I had to shell out $1700 for a new furnace just the week before Christmas. OUCH!
Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: Jim on December 29, 2010, 08:47:06 am My wife and I usually don exchange gifts, but this year we did... Mostly, we devote gifts to the kids and relatives/friends.
I bought a pair of Polk Audio home speakers and the wife has a new Kitchen Aid Professional Series mixer. The upgrade is great for grinding up my venison ! ! ! I was hoping to get my Stoner delivered for the holidays but the seller asked to ship after the first of the new year... Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: ss540 on December 29, 2010, 11:26:36 am Select O Vend candy/gum machine in need of resto. Key was missing and someone tried to pry it open. Spent lots of time with hammer & dolly to straighten. Ordered decal set & lock from Roger @ Crow River Trading. Will post pics when it's done.
Title: Re: Ok,Time to share,, what did Santa Bring ya?? Post by: Funtronics on December 29, 2010, 01:54:58 pm Mrs Santa was good to me. I got a new cart to move my machines around with, and some of the new Bow Flex adjustable weights. We normally don't buy each other much. We would rather put our money towards the kids also.
