Happy Xmas

[greatbear]

It was indeed a merry little Xmas here at the GoM. While Jeff was off at work, I was working both in the garage and in the basement. I needed to make up some spacer blocks for the safety sensors on the new garage door opener, So I rummaged through the scrap lumber and found a suitable piece, cutting and working on the stationary sander and table saw. The wood was southern yellow pine, and few wood odors come close to making the entire area smell like a 'real' workshop. I called it Santa's Workshop for the day. The smell still lingers, and reminds me of days gone by for some reason.

When Jeff got home from work (yeah, I know), we had our exchange of gifts. He got me an L.L. Bean three-in-one parka that I actually had been needing, along with some nice gloves and earmuffs. Since we will be taking a trip up to the Poconos soon to frolic in the snow, he thought this would be the perfect gift. And it was. I needed everything, including the earmuffs, which until now I didnt own. I usually rely of knit caps or tuques to keep my big flappy ears from freezing off. I got Jeff a Chef's Choice meat/food slicer, which he was pretty happy to get. I mean, what do you get a chef for xmas? lol

Jeff is home tomorrow and we plan on being mostly domestic. I might shove the Dart out of the garage and install the second opener. The second time is always much easier. ;)

I hope all of you had a great Xmas day.

Wow, that sounds like a carbon copy of me and Brad's Christmas. He worked, and I built a support shelf for the new washing machine out of #3 grade white pine. I even had a ladder set up to look at the broken garage door opener, but I ran out of time. It was a choice of either diagnose the opener or wrap Brad's last two gifts. Guess which one I chose! :-)
