Christmas gift ?

Post by Hakaman » Sun Dec 27, 2009 8:39 am

What did you get for Christmas? It doesn't have to be big or expensive, but what did you get for Christmas that you happy to see?
I got a Wilderness "Original Instructor Belt" w/free 5 stitching in Coyote tan, 1.75". So far I love it, and it's the only belt I have been wearing since I opened the package. Here it is:

Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue. Love it.

Merry Christmas to all

Don't really need much, I got Ma and Bear and they let me buy the toys I want. They are a couple of keepers, bear has been with us coming up on 10 years and Ma has been putting up with me for over 52.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

After a while, that's about all you really need and you realize how fortunate you are to have them.

I'm enjoying watching Ms. greener play with granddaughter.

Wish I could see my grandchildren more often but they are all too far away. My oldest son in CO has my granddaughter recently married of 23 and my grandson in the Navy at 21. Youngest daughter also in CO has my twin grandsons of 7 and another at 10. Oldest daughter in Fl has my granddaughter of 9 and grandson of 6. You know that i could be great grandfather any time now, Grandson-in-law is a 2nd looey ROTC Army Ranger and will deploy for a year in Iraq I believe sometime next year.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Holy cow, old man. She must be a saint to have put up with you for over half a century. I figured I must be a saint for putting up with my spouse for 25 years.

You know, I think she must be also. The other day I asked her, how the Hell have you put up with me all these years, she didn't answer, just smiled. Whatever she sees in me Ihave no idea but I sure am glad she foes.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Believe it or not, the Hakaman isn't married, although I have been seeing the same gal for 20 years now. Yes, she has her place, and I have mine. Whenever we get tired of seeing each other, we just go to our own homes. So we get along pretty good. We exchanged gifts this year as usual, but HakaClaus also treats me to a few gifts as well. New grips, and a new 9mm, (9mm just hasn't arrived yet?) Probably the best gift so far was having all the family together for Christmas dinner and gifts at my place.
Ho ho ho, Haka

It will be warm in just 5 short months. Michigan has a way of not letting go of winter, so, maybe 6 months. Your Eley should be well seasoned by then.

I didn't think we had any short moths in the winter, I thought they were all loooooooooooooong ones. If it gets above freezing and little wind, I will get in a half hour or so, being old and stupid does have some advantages. Sure do miss the indoor range I belonged to that closed because of lack of business, it was great, 25 yards indoors.
