HO HO HO!!!
Merry xmas and all that stuff to y'all. The kids are all happy with
the materialistic gifts we showered onto them. The coffee pot I got for my wife was broken out of the box, and we only have one bottle of wine left to try out her fancy new wine cork opener thingie on. I got an extension cord reel thingie and a pair of "ratcheting" adjustable wrenches and some Hickory Farms stuff from my dad. How did y'all make out? I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday. --- "Knowledge speaks; wisdom listens." - Jimi Hendrix "Stupid people are funny." - me |

I made out great. Got a new propane heater for the shop. One of those
turbo-types that construction crews use to heat areas so I know I will be toasty. I love my wife. href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4025706&a=30209382&vt=vp">Den's 1977 Puma</a> |

Merry Christmas all. We had coffee pot troubles as well. The darn thing was suppose to come with filters but none were
to be found in the box. My son drove to the local convenience store (which doesn't sell filters) and begged for a filter. The lady there said "sure, no problem...Merry Christmas" Santa Dad got him his wagon wheel rice burner wheels and other associated rice burning accessories. He got me a good sized gift certificate for Home Depot which should last for about one slow pass down the tool isle. : ) Too cold today to do any wrenching in the garage. >>>Mike |

Got a new PDA from my brother. Gave my mechanic a crap load of parts and
money for replacing all my window seals and putting in a new clutch. "Shaggie" > wrote in message ... > Merry xmas and all that stuff to y'all.

Paper towels will work for filters in a pinch.

Merry Christmahannukawanzaka to all! Spent the afternoon and evening at the in-laws' yesterday. All 29 of them. What a zoo! I got a toaster, a new coffee grinder, Assorted clothing items, the new k.d. lang disc, Second City TV's first season on DVD, some green tea, Jon Stewart's "America," and a subscription to Maxim magazine. I gave my kids various and sundry swell stuff, including an MP3 player to my son, a pea coat, a copy of "Napoleon Dynamite," on DVD, and weird African mask; to my daughter I gave a gift certificate to her favorite downtown clothing store (and complimentary trip on the train with Dad and any friend she might invite to said store -- making an adventure of it), lots of clothing and a copy of the extended version of "Return of the King," on DVD. To my wife I gave a Panini maker, a Water-Pik, many many earrings and bracelets and other assorted cute jewelry, and a promise to master the new espresso machine her sister gave her yesterday by the time she gets back later this morning from visiting the child she is advocating for in the foster child court system. Just stuff, stuff and more stuff. The best part? I've finally gotten satisfied enough with myself and my life that I don't have any wish for any stuff for myself. Just the pleasure of giving to the family. Which is kinda selfish in its own way, I suppose. So I reckon I am not yet there in terms of selflessness. More work to do! Again, happy holidays to you and yours. And many thanks to all who have offered help and shown patience with me while I climb the 1971 Type 2 VW learning curve. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westphalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR ------------------------------------ Today's Deep Thought: Heard the one about the dyslexic devil worshiper?

Merry Christmas to all. > --Dan E FWIW, on complex shapes like the Ghia, I use a 8 X 10" sheet of very hard rubber. It's maybe 3/8" thick and is hard enough that it takes some effort to bend to shape. A full sheet of Wet-or-Dry handles quite nicely and you don't get the straight-edge effect of a block. Good luck on your project. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |

I got two large candy bars, seven peices of chocolet in another package, &
4 AAA bateries. But it was all *dark* chocolet. ;^) Maybe after tomorrow I can actually find something open & get back to accomplishing something. I *hate* the holidays! ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" Giggle Cream - it makes dessert *funny*! |
