Christmas gifts 2018

[H-Ranch]

Not really a lot in the firewood department for gifts this year - a 2 in 1 file, a depth gauge, and a moisture meter were all in my stocking. Maybe the best part was the Christmas miracle tree - a white oak about 16" DBH, barkless and limbless, fell about 100' from the wood stacks and is <20% MC. Maybe I should have left the saw and the Fiskars sitting in the woods and it could have cut, split, and stacked itself too. Oh well, I did that part myself today.
And this was also left in my stocking for when the job was done.

What is your firewood Christmas story this year?

My favorite gift this year was a multi-tool that's shaped like a credit card. Slides in your wallet. I also got a chocolate orange that looks like a real orange with slices. Very tasty.

Nothing related to wood, unfortunately. No guns either.

A set of ratcheting wrenches and a set of nut drivers.

And a new car! Well, new to us. 2009 Grand Marquis. Wife doesn't exactly love it, but our Taurus died, and a friend was looking to sell, so it just seemed to fall into our lap.

New hearing protection and some duct tape to make it the right color. A little something for after work is pretty good too. I have good sons.

I picked up a new ms262 a few weeks ago, guess that counts as a Christmas gift.

I got a new smart phone for Christmas. I have always been a flip phone guy. I have already had to take the new phone back to verizon twice to had it reset. I works for about 2 days and then wont make or recieve calls. My wife got a New Ford Escape. Its sort of a Christmas/Birthday/Retirement present. Christmas this month. Birthday, next month and her first retirement check the following month. She also gets the payment book to go along with the car.

I got reminded that I need to buy a helmet when a branch fell out of tree dropped because it was blocking the sun from my fire wood racks. Hit my right shoulder.

Actual Christmas gifts mostly lowes gift cards and clothes.

I got a timberjack and a splitting maul. Week before Christmas I bought myself a new 6421. Oh yeah, a set of long torx bits with socket drive heads.

My mom set me up with some cool socks and my dad gave me a gun, it’s a 6” Colt police positive in bottleneck 32-20.

I hope you reload for that 32-20 , factory 32-20 is near a dollar a round but the brass can be reloaded for about a dime a round and you can run the same brass for a long time.
