Some assembly required!

**POS Racing** · 12-25-2005, 06:31 PM

Man

dropped of a few things for the daughter (I got coal) and feels like I spent the entire day assembling and opening stuff, who knew Polly Pocket needed so much wire to hold her and her crap in a box!

So what about the rest of you kids??

No assembly required... Gwen got me two DVD's I really wanted... the September 11th documentary film by the Naudet brothers and the National Geographic doc of the same subject.

That is a very good documentary. It sure does make your heart heavy to watch it though.

Note how I was testing the trampoline to ensure there were no safety issues!

That's cool what did your daughter get??

**onething** · 12-26-2005, 08:38 AM

So far, the outside of the house painted by professionals, some Lowe's gift cards, cool tea & mug, and a really warm flannel shirt. We'll be doing Christmas with my family today. No assembly required so far

I got one birthday present early: Leaf Hog for the mountain of leaves my monster oak gave me. It works great! Some minor assembly required

No kidding, they spend more $$$ on all that wire/washers and screws than they do the whole toy.

**sammm** · 12-26-2005, 10:18 AM

I got a new circular saw and a set of those coolie ratcheting wrenches. Also got a couple CD's (new Audioslave and a Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas CD), a couple shirts and some Meguir's products. I did good!

**channelmaniac** · 12-26-2005, 10:22 AM

Mom gave me a huge jar full of homemade beef jerky and a seal-a-meal bag full of venison jerky!

Of course, I still managed to get into the doghouse on Christmas - went to a nearby beach that I've been metal detecting and lost track of time... spent 5 hours and missed Christmas dinner - but did find 3 more rings on that beach! That makes 10 rings so far and about another 4 to 5 hours left to finish that beach.

No assembly for me here, got a box of Ritz whole wheat crackers with a $50 tagged on it, a three can pack of peanuts with another $50 tagged on it, a $100 Target gift card, and Kingdom of Heaven for PSP.

That's a good one.

Santa was good to me this year! The best gift was an overhaul and a new drivetrain for my mountain bike after seven years of dedicated service. Another reason I'll stick with Specialized - after 7 years of abuse there was a crack developing in a weld in the rear suspension linkage. Specialized replaced the entire four-bar linkage free of charge under their lifetime warranty.

It was like having a new bike again. Even better, I got to take part of Christmas afternoon to break it in at Knob Hill in Flower Mound. What a great day for riding.

I also got some other assorted stuff, including cash to cover a set of 'kooks to mount on a set of spare wheels to use for S2k and track events next season. Keep the R's fresh for the big events.

**jolberry** · 12-26-2005, 10:52 AM

was good to me this year. Harddog Sport (a whole lotta assembly required!), Dremel, HF clicker torque wrench, New rachet set, HF Sander/polisher and a iPod case....and of course...the best gift of all New SOCKS.

Because I was begging for a rollbar, I got the wife jewlery from Tiffany's, new coat and some various other things I can't mention.

**Dave04** · 12-26-2005, 09:00 PM

Santa was very good to me this year....

I got a nice Dremel tool setup, a large collection of wood working clamps (because, aparently, you can't have enough clamps!), and my girlfriend got me the Target air compressor deal (the 2HP/6 Gal Durabuilt one).

Just got back from B'ham ... 11 hour drives in the pickup through Holiday traffic are the pits....
