Crazy stuff here last night.

Some wack job in a red suit did a home invasion in my living room last night, and wouldn't freeze when I had him at gunpoint.

Coroner is here, cops, press. What a mess. Lawyer says I shouldn't be posting this.

Idiot left a bunch of reindeer on my roof too, but at least we'll have venison this year.

Gotta run, going to have to go see if the homeowners insurance company will believe why I need a new roof...

Gonna be a few disappointed kids. :yes:

When I was a kid a watched Santa make a hole in the ground when his chute didn't open. :yes:

I was 4-5 and my mom took us to this shopping center where Santa was gonna jump from an airplane and land in the parking lot. We watched Santa hit terminal velocity (pun intended) while his helpers chutes opened up fine. Needless to say mom had some explaining to do. One of the helpers quickly was promoted to Santa as the coroner arrived. I am still traumatized. ;)

A year or two later, at the same shopping center Santa robbed a bank. I could not figure out why they didn't just arrest Santa sitting in the chair at the other mall. It was obvious to me he robbed the bank on his lunch break. :dunno:

I'm hoping for a TBM850, but I don't see anything under the tree that's that size.

Our house is now more well armed than before, 2 new .380's for the boys and a new.9mm for me! :D Tried them out after breakfast, the dogs are nervous and the neighbors are scared!:yes:
 
Great day.............. so far.

Woke up to -12f outside, 73 inside with the log I put in the woodstove last nite still burning...

Went to the airport, pulled the plane in the sunlight, lit it off and flew around the valley... ATIS was calling -12c airtemp / -12c dewpoint... Clear and smooth as glass,,, pulled the throttle back from 12,000 msl and landed.. On roll out I asked tower for a T&G,, hit the throttle and launched back in the air. Slight roughness in the motor so I aborted and landed.. Headed off the runway to the ramp, jumped out and felt and looked at the carb... Ice on the outside of the throttle body. Damn good chance it was iced up inside too. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the heat from the motor would rise, to thaw the carb... Made another lap around the patch.. ran perfect.... So , I got carb ice for Christmas... Home now, had three tails and a half stick of butter last night, Prime rib is in the oven, I am in the hottub with a beverage and all it well in Paradise..:):):yes:..

God,;):yes: I love being alive...


Merry Christmas all.... Let's hope was all can make it to next Christmas.

It's probably been over a month since I last logged in here, but I just had to stop in today and wish all my flying buddies (and lots of new ones, I see) a Merry Christmas!

On tonight's menu was galbi and a giant bottle of Anchor Steam Christmas beer! :D

Hope you're all enjoying quality time with your loved ones.
 
That's like a classic David Sedaris xmas story. Funny but so not funny.

Two church services last night. Rang bells and sang in the choir.

Had both kids and son-in-law over today. Exchanged gifts and had my wife's super turkey for dinner. All is quiet now and I'm about to head off to bed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
 
:rolleyes2: This is my work week, so I enjoy reading everyone's stories of the holiday time with family and friends they had. We had a roast turkey for dinner and opened gifts yesterday which was nice, but that was after some customer came in and told me that someone had puked in the parking lot outside and another customer was irate that I couldn't transfer his prescription to us because the other pharmacy was closed. "Why do you think I came here instead of there?!" Sigh. :rolleyes2:

Next week has to be better. Merry Christmas everyone... I need a nap. :(

I watched the DVD "Kolya" which reminded me of you because there was a cello or two in it. :)

It's not specifically a holiday movie but kind of in that spirit.

¡Feliz Navidad! :cheerswine:
