Ok, so what did people get for Christmas?

Well, Bob, Santa thought I was a good boy this year, and brought me:

- the DVD recorder I wanted! (Now I can spend 150 hours copying 15 years of
home video -- yippee!)
- the heavy-duty 18 volt cordless drill I wanted -- with TWO batteries!
- an electric "snow broom" for doing snow removal from the 560 feet of
balconies at the inn!
- various Craftsmen tools

Nothing aviation-ish this year, for perhaps the first time in 10 years.
Well, my sister DID give me an airplane Xmas ornament... ;-)

Now if only Santa would bring us some nice flying weather, so I can go do
Christmas #2 in Wisconsin tomorrow without driving 5 hours each way...

Sounds like what you really need from Santa is an instrument ticket :-)

3.7 Hours of absolutely gorgeous flying on Christmas Day. For the
first time, I just went where the spirit moved me - if something looked
interesting, I flew towards it. I think I saw every resevoir in SW OK.

My right seater and I got nice matching hats
(http://world.std.com/~jmac/arrow_hat.jpg). And there was an emergency
glass-breaking device under the tree, and some dividers for my approach
plates... and a chart subscription, and a CH yoke. I'd been wanting to buy
myself one for a while, so that was a nice treat.

But the most important part was to know that my family and dearest friends
want to share another year of flying with me.

A gorgeous day in Northern Colorado for flying...
55 degrees F, no wind, few clouds,
completed a flight review for a pilot who has been weathered out since
mid November!

Colorado is GRAND!

Best gift..... wasn't even mine... my son got a set of laser tag guns and
headsets... what a blast!

Best gift for flying: Actually gifts my wife and I gave our kids...
portable DVD players.... I'm sure we'll be as happy that they got them as
they are!

What I didn't get, and I "Merry Christmas'ed to Me" yesterday, a SacSkyRanch
Oil Filter Can Cutter and Filter Holder. I did get a nice extendable
magnet for playing third hand and checking filters for iron and steel.

Pirep: Absolutely. I often pull stuff from their site and between their
dedication and spot on info, your recommendation convinced me that their
cutter was the cutter I wanted.

Should be here in a few days.

Thanks

Nah...divert the shipment to me. Better yet, let me head over to
Skyranch (could go via the Arrow or Nissan pickup), pick up the cutter
and make sure it works for you Jim. I've got an oil change due soon.
Would be happy to try out the cutter for ya. Heck, I'd even post the
pirep :-)

Mighty generous of you Jack, but mine's already on the way.
I appreciate the offer, you're such a willing guy. Maybe you'd want to head
over there anyway and pick one up for yourself. We could compare Pireps.

That reminds me, I need to order some oil and filters.
