Merry Christmas and Happy New Year back at you too Ed. Hope that steering wheel has a car its going to, or is it part of the steering for Santa's sleigh? Everything looks cheery and bright in your world!

It's going on a '69 Cutlass "S" post body that we cloned into a 4-4-2.
It was my daughter's first car.

Yeah, I haven't decorated for a few years, so I went all out this year-well lit tree,
lighting all over the outside of the house, table top christmas village, etc.
I get carried away at the after-Christmas sales. I put up stuff I bought over several years,
much of it used for the very first time.
Had a pretty nice Christmas party Saturday.
Merry Christmas, Allan.

So you're saying all the neighbors think someone new moved in this Christmas? Not to worry, with all the lights and whatnot your power company will love you. Just as a token of their goodwill, they'll send you a paper present asking for donations to their benevolent fund aka your power bill.

I have to admit I've been somewhat frugal with lighting at Christmas in the past. This year though I put up all LED lights except inside. They are nice and bright and claim to be 97% more efficient than coventional lighting. Over the past 2 years I converted all our inside lighting to energy efficient. I understand the benefits of savings, but really don't care for the longer warm up times. Specially the quick trips to the biffy. Oh well there's enough light not to pee on my feet.

Looks like I found a use for that sticky steering wheel that I was about to trash!

First I want to thank all of you who had helped me in my projects, provided parts, advice, and laughter when I needed it this past year. I really appreciate it.
I wish all of you a fun Christmas holiday to spend with family and friends. Eat, drink, laugh, play with the kid's toys, play with your new toys, enjoy the company of others, and remember the fun memories of the Christmas past.
This Christmas is different for me, just Lady and I. I might go take a drive out to the country later on (if the rain stays away). I took the '86 on a similar long drive this past Friday and met several nice folks along the way.

Have a merry Christmas and a successful new year!

Merry Christmas, all! May Santa bring tons of gift certificates to Parts Place, Jegs, Summit Racing, Fusick, and YearOne!! And if not that, may Santa bring the one part that you can't seem to find anywhere else!

Merry Christmas to all and I hope that you received all the gifts and good company that you wanted. Hopefully those in a position to do so, donated food or cash to those organizations who help the less fortunate. Don't eat too much and have a good one.

Merry Christmas to all.
