a much needed laptop for me. Gift cards, shirts galore, lots of leather goods from the Coach store vacuum packer, boat heater and a bunch of other misc stuff.

$100 Cabelas gift card.

All in all a good xmas. In regards to fishing gear, Santa made a nice attempt at getting my 2008 combo license ... he had my info (including WILD ID #), but Joe's said they couldn't sell Santa my 2008 license as my current one was good through March and it was not possible to sell the next one. I have already emailed the WDFW asking them to kindly remind their dealers that this is possible and quite likely to be a frequent request around this time. Anyway, I got a Joe's gift card instead - happy, but frustrated.

A light water resistant Mad Dog gear jacket and a $15 gift certificate from Sportsman's Warehouse. They just handed her the certificate at the checkout when she bought it.

Also got a Garmin Nuve 200 GPS she got for half price on Black Friday. Need to program my favorite fishing locations.

Also ordered 2 pair of Cabelas 15 oz jeans with fleece lining and water resistant material. Wanted to pick them up at the new store, on the way home, but they don't have them in stock. They are on sale for $35 regular $65 and I got an extra $2 off each.

oh yeah, I got one of those vacuum packer things too. For me it's fishing related, lol. Now to find the fish...

xbox 360 and a pair of wool socks!

Merry Christmas guys...i think i made out ...hahahahha....

Well now that's pretty cool LTF!

You're gonna love the Rommba Aunty ... we've had one for a couple of years and we call it our "Maid" ... does wonders keeping up on the dog hair when run daily

Santa wasn't as nice to me this year ... but he made up for it with little Ro-Ro. I suppose that's the way it's supposed to be

Did leave me a HD-DVD player though ... ended up with about a dozen movies for it too.

He left Corey and I a dandy Nordic-Trac Elliptical though last week when he stopped in ... damned Santa, he's a pain in my rear, and quite the pain at that I must add Gonna be way quiter that the rickety old treadmill we've had around for years ... much easier to watch those HD-DVD's while excercising!!

Between that elliptical and the piano that Mom helped Santa bring Ro-Ro, I may be borrowing that undead gun of Parker's to go after Santa ... so if he doesn't show at your house next year, you'll know what happened!

The only outdoor related stuff I ended up with were some nice warm socks, a souped-up Tikka headlamp for midnight river runs, and a Cabela's gift card ... I'll probably get some hunting boots with it rather than fishing stuff.

No worries, I've got more than one! We can set up a blind next year. Dibs on Rudolph, though.

Hey, where is my Deluxe Digital Weather Station? I was sure there was going to be an "extra" on after Christmas!

Oh he left that with me too, but I had to help him pick that out a few weeks ago too. Still have to hook it up to the 'puter though ... a project for a rainy day

Santa got the wife and I a Lowrance IWAY 600, that made my hopelessly lost wife very happy. I got another Tackle Box, but this one is set up nice to put all of my Kwikies in and I think I will have room left over to buy some more. I also got a real sweet fish wacker that I will put on the boat.

LTF, nice ring and congrats on the upcoming nuptials.
