What Was Under Your Tree?

[Brian Gibbs]

A Chambers “multi tool”, and a slabbed 1884 uncirculated Carson City silver Morgan dollar.

 

[LonestarShootR]

I had our septic tank pumped out and the aerator pump rebuilt on Friday to the tune of $1000. That hurt my black powder rifle fund. The Mrs did get me a powder horn.

My wife refuses to buy me anything Muzzleloaded related, says I have to much stuff already. But my daughters got me a Kibler gift certificate!!

 

[Forester]

I got a $50.00 Amazon gift card from my LGS employer. The wife and I didn't this exchange gifts year. We were too busy preparing the gifts for our 13 residents at our small care home, we have enough stuff.

 

[Capnball]

What kind of muzzleloading stuff did you either gift or score for Christmas?

Well it kinda muzzle loading related, my son bought me a pair of Damascus leatherworking knives (which I'll use to make muzzleloading accoutrements) Rraaaazor sharp! He gave me a general cutting blade and a much needed skiving knife.
Nice gift, really!

and a slabbed 1884 uncirculated Carson City silver Morgan dollar.

worth about 50 cents in todays dollars.

You got shirts??!! I got socks.

Knew a guy that got something like 25 pairs of socks for Christmas and that was all.
At least it wasn't underwear.

 

[ColonialRifleSmith]

My wife bought me a 48" laith for my gun building. WOOOPEEE!!! Greatest wife ever. Semper Fi.

Yeah, them septic tanks! I had a new water well drilled. It can "deplete" your funds. Joy of living in the country though.

 

[Nor Cal Mikie]

There was a receipt for the check I cut for $20K for our new roof and gutters on our house.
Won't need to be going up on the roof for at least another 25+ years.
And my guess? The next guy to go up on the roof will be the new owner, after I'am gone.

And you won't miss the water TILL the well goes dry.

 

[Thingamajiggy]

Not much, wife and I stopped exchanging since we pretty much buy what we want. Was nice having both kids home though, thoroughly enjoyed that.

Couple of DVD's as well....Black Robe, Revenant and the complete box set of the Daniel Boone TV series with Fess Parker.

Black Robe ! The 'feel good' movie of the year (chuckle). It's one of my all time favorites!

 

[Elkpurgatoire]

I got the same thing as last year, only bigger. Nothing!

It's not that I've been a bad boy, lately, but my wife and I gave up exchanging gifts some years ago. We already have what we need.

I didn't get off the holiday "financial hook" though, the dishwasher broke down this morning, no kidding!

My wife and I have all we need too, we just exchange thoughtful cards.
In a similar display of Murphy's Law, our daughter's oven's lower cooking element broke just before loading the prime rib into the oven. Thankfully, an elderly neighbor saved the day by loaning us the use of his oven. (their grownup kids were bringing their dinner). It all worked out in the end and it was good to have all the kids and grand gathered under a single roof.

And you won't miss the water TILL the well goes dry.

That was one of the reasons for drilling now. I didn't want to go through it when I'm 80 something.Plus we remodeled the bathroom.(another $10,000.00) It'll make the house easier for my step son to sell someday.

 

[Bill Bryan]

I bought myself a Kibler .50 cal flintlock Woodsrunner rifle. Other than that I just got coal.....

Black Robe excellent movie. I have recommended it many times.

1500 rounds of 22LR, perfect for these winter in door range days.

I gave three Taylor Conversion cylinders for the 1851 Colt Navies I gave last year along with a 50 round box of ammo with a life time refill guarantee.
