Merry Winter Solstice to you and yours!

Ahh ... a thread with "Merry Christmas" in the subject that is indeed that.

Thank you!

Cooked the big Christmas gumbo last night (it was cold enough to keep safely on the back porch all night) and have it, and the dirty rice dressing in the dutch oven, on the stove as we speak.

All the other little heads are tucked in their beds, and the house smells like Christmas ...!!

ALL of you wReckers, and your's, have a very Merry Christmas! Stay warm and be safe ...

[Leon]

Thank you Sir! And may those wishes go toward you also. Merry Christmas!

Back at everybody and may your egg be nogged.

I will take that to heart.

I got some kinda high tech, thermal long underwear from Santa this year. I put it on immediately cuz it is frozen all over. With enough layers, it is possible for even an old fart to stay warm!

I know that you like that funny Cajun food. More traditional fare here. The missus informs me that this will be a "Prime Rib Christmas". No argument from me on this choice of holiday fare.

And a very merry christmas to all. May you all be happy and politically incorrect.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, and a happy new year.

P.S. Why do wimmin always buy crappy tools for christmas? (and clothes that you will never wear) Not only is is something I would never use or need, but it is one of those pretty "consumer grade" tools. Ya know, the ones that fall apart after using a few times. I will be taking it back tomorrow and buy something I actually can use.

Bah humbug!

Second that emotion. May 2010 be a good year for everyone.

Same to everyone here. Hope it's a great year for everyone.

SWMBO did buy me a couple of sweaters. They'll do. Long ago I convinced her not to buy me tools. OTOH, the kid gave me a Woodcraft gift certificate. That'll work; there should be some sales coming up[*].

[*] I noticed that Woodpeckers has a sale on ball-bearing full-extension drawer slides. I'll have to order a couple packages (10 pairs per).

-------------------------------------------- Cuz they shop in department type stores that basically sell over priced crap designed to satisfy 80% of the market in some half assed fashion.

For years tried without success to promote giving checks rather than goods for presents.

After all, checks get deposited back in the various bank accounts.

The junk stays on the shelves.

No harm, no foul.

Bah Humbug.

I don't know if you saw this George Will piece from Thanksgiving:

Bah Humbug.

Just keep telling yourself; "it's not the gifts."

Question How do merchants define Christmas?

Answer The shearing of the sheep.

I finally figured it out ... give'em a Rockler, or WoodCraft, catalog with stuff circled ... stuff that you would not normally buy but wouldn't mind having if someone gave it to you as a gift. By that simple expedient I scored the following in the old stocking this morning:

?page=16416&filter=rail%20coping%20jig?page=19743&filter=whirlwind%20dust%20port... oh, and a magnetic push stick?? Apparently an independently made decision ... win a few, lose a few! :)

Just kidding ...

[upscale]

Why not? Just what you need to go with your carbide... oops, I mean non ferrous cardboard saw blade.

:)

[krw]

I bought one of those the last time I was in a Rockler store. It's quite handy.
