Default Was Santa good to you?

Awesome gifts this year.

Ancestry DNA kit will finally reveal my true nationality -a subject of concerning debate the last few months.
That and a Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer.
Should scare the grandkids less in the future

How did you do?

My son gave me a very cool shaving brush and razor kit, and framed pictures - that and I received a fantastic portable freezer for when we head south on our bird hunts!
The best however was that nobody is ons shift off shift and we are able to enjoy Christmas dinner this year.

I’ve wanted to learn fly fishing for YEARS... but never really got around to it. Mrs SageValley got me a two day introduction to fly fishing at the McLennan Fly fishing school... I’m the worst fisherman ever, so i should learn a lot!

Omega50, So when you do the DNA search do you submit the results to the government database or is that all done for you??? You know they are after all of us...

Over the years I have left samples of almost every available body fluid with all sorts of govt agencies. They are welcome to fill their boots.

Haha I know that feeling. I could never commit a crime as the govt has all my dna and who knows what else on file from my time in the army.

My wife got me a pair a of red fox skin mittens lined with sheep skin and a new rod and a bunch of tackle. I'm pretty pumped for the mitts. Hand made and come up to the elbow.

The lead reindeer finally splurged on a decent TV (credit card rewards redeemed as Best Buy gift cards covered half of it) so he also gets to mount it to the wall tomorrow once he picks up some better fasteners than the ones that come in the swivel-mount kit. Its difficult to hold a cordless drill with these cloven hooves.....

How did you do?
Read the end user agreement with that DNA kit carefully.
If you agree you give them the rights to your and your families DNA information to use as they see fit.
I would not touch it but that's me.

The wife revealed that she has accepted a high level position that comes with a substantial wage increase, and that I should now consider taking more time off. Thank you Santa.

Wife got me a new frame pack. Looking forward to packing quarters with it next season. No more humping out quarters over my shoulder.

Also got a Eskimo 33cc gas auger and Gerber multi tool. Some Cabelas gift cards for bullets too.

Kids (meaning wife) got me a pizza oven for the BBQ. We make a lot of homemade pizza so this will be nice to try. Hope they're good!

Oh...and a Han Solo in carbonite mini fridge with little red LEDs that light up on Han. Best thing ever!

Cheers
