We used Christmas this year as an excuse to buy things we wanted.

So far, hardwood floors in 3 rooms, Dyson V10 and a Neato D5 for the wife and I. I got myself a pair of Sony WH1000mx3's and she got a new Dell XPS 13 and a pair of Air Pods. That alone was a nice $12k dent to the wallet.

My wife gave me a Tumi laptop bag for work and some polo shirts.

I bought her a Gucci fanny pack and we bought our son a Colt Single Action Army revolver chambered in 45 Long Colt.

We took it to the range today and put almost 100 rounds through it. It is a 3rd gen Colt, which you cant buy in California, but they fall under the curio class so you can have them shipped into the state to an authorized FFL. Such stupid fucking laws we have here... as if that is preventing any crime.

Boss gave me a code for $225(I think) for filson.com. I'm gonna sit on it awhile. I'd kind of like a cruiser vest, but they don't currently have anything that fits.

Funny you mention that. My boss got me a ScottEVest, and it's the most amazing jacket I've ever owned. I feel like Inspector Gadget wearing it :D

WTH. My boss gave me a ziplock bag full of homemade chocolate chip cookies.

No, not yet. But still, I have no planning for vacation. But yes definitely I am thinking to go out for a long trip this summers with my family.

My company goes all out. I actually catered our Christmas party last year (it was on a dare...was fun! Got to flex my muscles a bit! May do it again :D) Made 50 steaks, asparagus, baked potato bar...came out great!

For gifts we got some Sonos gear, an Echo Show, a tactical flashlight, and a jacket from ScottEVest (this thing is CRAZY! https://www.scottevest.com/shop/mens-jackets/mens-lightweight-jacket/tropiformer-jacket-men.shtml )

As for the family, got some cooking gear, a guitar pedal, and some clothes.

I'm probably gonna get myself a late jul gift next week. A clearing saw! A local dealer is having an echo 15% off day, and I want a saw to clear the farm at work. I got most of the vines with a chainsaw, but I want to see it really cleaned up. This is the one I want to get...

and I want to get a shredder blade to do this...


I can hear those stickers screaming now :^D
