Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Christmas went good, bad, & so-so. Naturally the good is seeing family. The bad is when you choose things for others that they're not too thrilled with. The so-so is the stuff you get for others that can be exchanged or re-purposed.
I got to spend time with Teresa, one of my sisters, my uncle, and my two boys. I don't see any of them often enough. - Even Teresa tends to be gone more than she's here.
Teresa liked everything I got her. I sort of cheated when it came to selecting clothing. - I went shopping with her and had her give me a thumbs up or down on the things she looked at. And she still loves her pinball machine.
My sister has 5 house dogs. I think it's a little nuts, but I guess whatever floats her boat... I was convinced they were Lhasa Apsos so I bought her a book, a calendar. and a pen that I thought were themed appropriately. It turns out that they're all Shih Tzus. Hey, they all look the same to me. Oops!
I'd bought one of my sons a bunch of tee-shirts. I knew he wears size large but I couldn't get most of them in his size so I went with extra large ones hoping they'd still fit. The bad news is that of the six shirts I bought he only wants the one large. I guess I'll have to hope they're available in his size after Christmas is over. The good news is that I now have five new shirts of my own. The shirts were from ROADKILL, KEITH BLACK RACING ENGINES, and HILBORN. Oh well, - not a total loss.
- Oh, I also got him a ROADKILL cap. He liked it.
I'd had evil 340 make one of his illuminated custom Scat Pack light boxes for my son and purchased a large L.E.D. clock to attach beneath it. Although he didn't think it wasn't cool, he didn't really want it for his garage. I guess I now have another display for the man cave. He did want the clock though. It's SO hard to shop for some family members! I'd have been more disappointed if it wasn't for the fact I get to keep it. It'll look great next to the pinball machine.
Now, he really did like the helmets I got him. It was a good time for a photo op. CLASSIC!!
On the winning side my other son Greg loves all things Husker. Shopping was easier for him and he wanted cash in lieu of just presents.
The biggest gift I got was the electric winch. It's an 8500 lb. Superwinch ordered from JEGS. I still haven't figured out where to mount it. Most likely it'll go on the front of the trailer bed but I'll want a cover fabbed over it.
I hope everybody else out there had a Merry Christmas and that none of you screwed up on gift selection as much as I did.
