I mainly got clothes and a couple of small gadgets. Main thing was some under armour long johns. Can't wait to try those out.

I had more fun watching my 2 year old open all her gifts and get excited with her Elmo and Dora gifts. Got my wife something she wanted but didn't know she was getting and gave both our parents digital pic frams with old pics loaded on them. Glock is right, way more fun to give than the receiving, but it's fun gettin' stuff too.

My folks who are older came down and my younger brother was here so it was a lot of fun to be with family.

I got a new Calphalon cast iron skillet, and my mom sanded and refinished a dining room table I purchased from a garage sale earlier this year. Otherwise, everything was for my little boy. He was sure happy to open up all the little trucks he got. If it has wheels, he loves it. I think his favorite though was the Tonka dump truck. He already found 3 different ways to ride on it. He got those and some learning toys and books. Fun stuff.

I got to spend Christmas with my wife and kids all of my 15 brothers and sisters and families which was a blessing. We had great time. My brother is in the Marine Corp and is headed to Iraq in april so it was extra special to spend time with him. Oh and throw in a new strikemaster lazer auger, what a christmas!

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
