graemlins/wavey.gif Fellow Members!

Was Santa Good to Everyone?

I'm Sure members on buicks.net were on His List.

Did Anyone receive any unique Gifts for the Discriminating Buick Owner? :D

I'm sure Members would like to share or expound on that Special Gift. Possibly that Needed Tool, Part, Customized Accessory or Literature/Publication. graemlins/hurray.gif

The Ideal Gift is something that is never expected or one that they would never buy for themselves. graemlins/banana.gif

I think it would be interesting since WE all share a Common Bond, to see how each other made out. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Happy Holidays graemlins/beers.gif

I work in the mountains, and always carry a knife in my truck. My kids bought me a nice new one, I could use it to secure my Buick and parts

Nice Gift!

It cetainly looks like it will come in quite handy. It appears that You have Your own version of Homeland Security.

Well the cash is for my 1967 Skylark. I'm going to be putting a 455 in it and the cash will probably go towards rebuilding one when I get my hands on it.

My folks got my a 14" Milwaukee chop saw, 6" Jet bench grinder,(from my work even) 6" swivel vise, and mulitmeter. With some cash I have ordered a book on rodchester carbs. I hope every one else did as good.

Hey Tom.....Wellllllll I did have an expected gift....the good Lord sent us our first Grandchild, a little girl named Mikayla---the best gift one could have for Christmas. She was born 12-8-04. Let us all remember the true meaning of Christmas---when you look into that little girls eyes you understand!!!! graemlins/hurray.gif graemlins/hurray.gif

I got a couple of 4 ton jack stands(that should hold up the Special) and a Dewalt grinder. I am also expecting a couple of fenders to arrive any day now. To bad it is to cold to put them on.

graemlins/wavey.gif Hey Michael!

How Ya Doin'?

Those 4 Ton Jack Stands should hold that '55 Special of Yours Just Fine & Dandy. graemlins/thumbsup.gif ;)

Where in Mass do You Live? You can't be too too far from Me. I'm just over the line down south.

Who are You getting Your Fenders From?

I know what your saying about the cold and the 10 inches of Snow we just got dropped on us doesn't help either. :eek:

Seasons Greetings graemlins/beers.gif

Tom

I live in Springfield. I am getting the fenders from a guy in CA. I found him selling some things on ebay and wrote him asking if he had some fenders. Luckely he did. Can't wait to get them.
Spring won't be here soon enough.

Is this your first? I remember my first like it was yesterday. This is a time you will never forget for as long as you live, and will remember as if it happened the day before. It's almost better than having your own small children cause you can spoil them, then ship 'em back to mom and dad ;)

Let's see....Santa brought me the following...

- About 45-50 bucks total inside various cards
- 1 White 1992 Chevy Cavalier Rally Sport Convertible
- 1 1:6 Scale Radio Control 54 Chevy with working - Hydrolics, lights, sparks, and sounds
- 1 Black Leather Jacket

- 1 Stocking with various gormet Coaco mixes
- 1 OSU winter Parka coat
- 1 Pair of Black leather velcro strap walking shoes
- 6 Pure bred Siamese CFA Registered Kittens (she gave birth on Christmas evening at 11pm so it still qualifies)

I think that's everything....

Jim.

Jim,

You must have been pretty Good.

But like You said in another Post Paying the Bills is an Necessary Evil.
