I am Santa this year lol. I got a couple nice sets of pliers, a dvd player, and we got a wii from my mother in law.
For my 6 y/o nephew a slash 2wd, his brother got a 14' trampoline, my wife got a Dell 15r laptop, and my niece and nephew got "air swimmers".
 
I got lots of stuff for my new place: stoneware, flatware, stemware, coffee maker, mirrored coat rack, canister set, knife set, and kitchen towels. Also a Cowboys jersey and warm-ups, and a little heli (not hobby grade but still--something I can fly in the house).
 
I got more stuff than I need, like always. Got some plants for my fish tank, some hella comfortable house shoes, window whipers for my toyota, some screw driver bit sets, couple gift cards, a nice new sweat shirt and my favorite thing, several different variety's of cheese and sausages, I love cheese and sausage.
 
$100, a Conair heated neck massager, and the laptop that I am typing this post on!
 
I updated my profile and the fleet I was able to buy off my brother in law. He got completely out of the hobby so I made out LIKE A BANDIT!!!. So far the T4 is just rediculious with the novak brushless system. Easy 60mph on foam tires! Crazy fast!!!
 
Update: add a full set of bath towels with matching hand and wash cloths, Bud bar glasses, a lamp, an Indian princess print, 750 thread count sheets, and a 3 1/2 foot tall bust of a horse. My dad. Don't ask...
 
I was wrong Olds. I got the 10.8v Dremel, not the 12v like you. At any rate it'll be nice to have a reliable cordless rotary tool in the pit box.

I've spent much of the day trying to figure out how I'm going to work this iPod. The software is a bit finicky and I much prefer to do my ripping with the Zune program. I finally got the setup worked out so I can rip with the Zune software and easily transfer to my iTunes without getting any duplicates. 160gb is a massive amount of space. Unfortunately in all of my efforts I somehow deleted the collection of music I had already ripped so now I'm doing our entire collection from the ground up.

I plan on picking up a new Haro at the bike shop tomorrow. Woot woot!
 
Mountain or bmx? Post pics either way Josh.
 
I'm actually going to buy a bmx bike (freestyle) Lloyd. Crazy as it sounds... Some stupid part of my brain thinks I have have the coordination to pick up some of that stuff. When I was a teenager I had a pretty nice GT freestyle bike but never put in any time to learn how to do any more than bunnyhop a reasonable height. Unfortunately, winter is nearly upon us here in Cleveland but spring will come quickly and I'll something to look forward to. Hopefully I don't break my neck... :)

I'll definitely post pics when I get it home.
 
doesn't sound crazy at all to me. BMX is my favorite sport, rode freestyle (tried atleast) till a few years ago and just kinda lost interest but I still watch it non stop. Have a Schwinn Jay Miron Signature. Was $600 at the time like 14 years ago, many many many many many hours on that bike. Never got good. can't manual for crap. I can, well could back than, hit 2ft bunny hop fairly easy so I could do ledges and some nice cement ledge grinds, also could bar spin about anything I want and a few flat land tricks but that was it...Could never get the 360 bunny hop down, that was all I really wanted to nail too.
 
I got a Glock 9mm model 17 (it matches the 40mm model 22), a gift card for Sportsmans warehouse, a gift card to Grimaldi's pizza (best coal brick over pizza around), RPM arms for the mini front and rear, Aluminum push rods for the mini, some Under Amrour stuff.
 
Got a Revo 3.3 #5309! Ready for the weather to clear up so i can rip it up with this thing! First RC ever!

Here ya go Lloyd! Color is matte eggplant. Backed it up with a skater style matte black helmet (because wearing an MTB helmet on a bmx would be &#@) :)

Step 1: Remove all reflectors :)

^^^Congrats Josh! 3pc cranks too, a must.
 
Thanks man! I considered the 200.3 or even 300.3 but in all reality it's just for fun and not something I'm going to be spending dozens and dozens of hours per week on so I figured no need to spend more than necessary. If I can perfect a couple basic things next summer I'll feel accomplished. :)
