So What Did Santa Bring You?

[Teri C.]

My family Christmas was canceled because the roads in Lincoln, NE are so bad and drifted my aunts in the same neighborhood wouldn't make it over. Both my younger brothers got stuck making it to my mom's. We had to walk a few blocks and scoop them out and push. Been a LONG time since I have done that!



I got a total of $250 in Bass Pro gift cards and a new Gateway netbook. My family sure knows what to get me. That should cover any tackle I need this year for the WBT.



My mother doesn't have cable-WTF! I am watching the Titans game on my Sprint phone. Lol! What a Christmas!

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

HAHAHA On watching it on your phone!!! Do you get commercials too?



Sue and my ma got me a HDS 5 and two catfish rods, some clothes. David got me a Xbox fishing game, and to top it off, it was an extremely good day.

 

[T AMBURGEY]

2 NEW RICK CLUNNS, 10 plano, A new 12 mega pixle camera, Plus our electricty came back on, its been off for 7 days

 

[Dick Durbin]

I got a new drill, a Bass Pro Gift Card, and my wife had someone else paint the house so I don't have to cut into my fishing time to do it. Best Christmas present I ever got.



On a down note, though, I just got word that one of my cousins died in a plane crash this afternoon. He was flying his Long EZ from Leitchfield, Kentucky back to his home in Tennessee and he went down somewhere in Calloway County, Kentucky.

Ashame about your cousin. Did they know what caused the accident? My condolences.



I was hoping for a word from my son it's been a few months but no word. They don't communicate much from submarines. That would have made my Christmas.

The gifts were nice but nothing like having your family close.

I got a bottle of Don Eduardo tequila, I played with my newest Great Grandaughter,,Greatest Christmas ever,,she Is 3 months old and can wave and giggle and play like she was 3 years old...Greatest part she doesn't ask for money (YET)

 

[Mike Levesque]

Olebiker, my condolences........





Here, I mostly got clothes, and of course the coveted gift cards which are awaiting my annual late winter trip to BPS to gear up for the coming spring, summer, and fall.



On Christmas Eve my wife April and I got together with my kids and had a great time, especially with my grand daughter, she's so fun. She toddles around with the sippee cup, points at EVERYTHING, and asks, "what's that?"



Two of my wife's kids are in Wis. with their dad for the holiday break. And her oldest son is here in town, staying by us in Elk Grove, and this weekend we get the honor of helping him move, from a block from Wrigley Field to a new place somewhere south of there, just off of Clark Street. (Oh, this ought to be fun, hehe).



So this year it's been a fun holiday season so far. (We celebrate Christmas with my other 2 stepkids when they get back New Year's weekend), then comes the couple months of waiting and preparing to get back on the water...........

[Dan J.]

Too much stuff that says "some assembly required" for the boys!!! :lol::lol:



Greg - You're going to love that TV! I've got a 46" Toshiba plasma over the fireplace in the downstairs family room and it just celebrated a 3yr. birthday with nary any trouble whatsoever. The boys seem to have it on 12+ hrs. a day sometimes :wacko: and it's still chugging along! Enjoy!!!

 

[mike chip]

I think santa should be fired, because he must not have wanted to delivery to the last few houses and just left the stuff at mine... I was spoiled this year for some reason... lots of gift cards, a new pistol...a few new reels and a trip to vegas in a few months ans cash cash cash... almost enough to buy a power pole of course with vegas coming up...!

[Randy Walls]

Olebiker, sorry to hear about your loss. Hope everyone is coping well as can be expected.



Gift cards to BPS. Two new Pleuger spinning reels and rods. Lots of Notre Dame clothing, a save faces mask for those cold days, two pairs of shoes and some Philadelphia Eagles stuff. Spent it with the family, who could ask for more?



Randy

 

[Tim King]

BPS gift card and much needed time with the family. We are snowed in right now so getting more time with the fam!!

 

[Greg Meyer]

Ken S...



After one boat cover disaster from snow/rain/ice... I created some "T" sections wide enough to sit on the gunwales and span the entire boat... They are flat on the bottom (1X4) and have a 1X8 mounted perpendicular that is tapered from the center (about a 10 inch wide gentle curve that tapers a 1/2 inch in that 5 inches on each side at the center) to both sides to an inch at the ends. I have three of these after the seats and they really support anything that lays on the cover...

 

[Dan Nevill]

BPS gift cards. Movie gift card. Lomghorn gift card. Some cool t-shirts. Worms and a tackle box from the grandson.



Most of the family at my house xmas day.



Dan

 

[Tim Koepp]

Two Redhead tshirts.

 

[Ken Sabin]

Greg,

Thanks. But I had made a small frame work out of 3/4 PVC pipe and a bunch of elbows and t's. Didnt help. The weight of all that snow was too much. I have to park the boats in a VA state park, as my development wont ALLOW me to park on the street and I couldnt get access until today- Too late!!



Oh well, they were 3 or 4 years old. But, dang, both at the same time !!

 

[Berry Lindley]

I got 2 days of house arrest, but I'm out now.

 

[Dick Durbin]

"Ashame about your cousin. Did they know what caused the accident? My condolences."



We haven't heard anything about the cause of the crash, but the weather was a bit threatening when he took off. His father, also a pilot, tried to get him to wait until later.

 

[pete hanford2]

[Scott Allen]

A pleuger baitcasting reel with a medium heavy/fast tip ugly stick, some jigs and Spro frogs. Waiting for the water to clear up and my shoulder to finish healing and I plan on using the new outfit with the jigs in the "Spoils" area near the Wilson Bridge on the lower Potomac. The state record LM was caught there a couple of years ago in January on a jig.



Scott

 

[Texas Transplant]

All came before Christmas. The 46" Samsung HDTV (it's not the LED but still Great!). Several pair of very nice Florsheim Shoes. There is one and only one Florsheim shoe shops in Dallas, and it was so nice to have someone properly measure and 'fit my foot properly'.



Spent a very quiet day with my wife, and simply relaxed watching the snow and some sidewalk ice melt away.
