ummm.............

not a whole lot really.

Dress shirt, tie, leather gloves

Best gift was the usual 'from santa' gifts from the father in law. He fills up at CDN tire, and buys up all the discounted tools when you buy gas.Last year the from santa gifts were a dremel tool and socket set.

This year it was a cordless screwdriver and mini socket set!

Santa was very good to me.

-season 5 of the Sopranos (Fuhgeddaboudit)
-what is possibly the world's coolest paring knife from Shun - shaped like a parrot's beak. In Damascus steel.
-a nice new pair of 7x50 binos
-a top-end TNF skiing shell (wOOt!)
-a great book about technological blunders of WWII
-loads of tasty chocolate
-hand-knit merino wool socks which I'm wearing right now
-most importantly, the chance to spend it christmas with the people I love. You don't realize how much you miss it until you spend a year or two working over christmas.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

:lol:

Now that's funny!

I got to spend christmas with the family...instead of with a bunch of other suckers in a crew house in the arctic.

Don't get me wrong, the Aklak turkey feast will allways be a special memory to me...but hey family is way more important!

Not a chance :wink:

But I can send you a high quality picture of the air hog. 10.1 MPs in the Macro mode, it'll look like it's flying right at you!

Save the Futureshop gift certificates and put it towards a DSLR one day if you like taking pictures. It's an amazing difference from the point and shoots.
