AHHH!! I need a set of these so bad!

 

Are those Impact Sockets with a ball joint? That sounds pretty freaking handy.

 

yeah. I really wanted the ones that are dedicated 6" extension ones, but all I could find was like $200 snap-on sets.

so there needs be be room to fit the bulky thing over the bolt, but yeah they are nice to have.

 

Our Christmas present was having all of the kids and their wives and grandkids home for Christmas day and dinner one more time,as well as all of the adopted type kids that came with their families
I did get myself a drimmel set as well

 

Nice!!! Lucky guy. This is the first time in my life I didn't spend it with my parents, sister or aunts and uncles. Family fallout 101

 

That is a shame .
The wife and I never spent a holiday with her family or mine after we married.
When the boys came aloneg I guess them doing it with us instilled that tradition in them and some of the friends that they grew up with or have come to know.
two of the sons are talking they will start staying home and we understand it is time for them to do their own tradition
So guess it will slowly die away but the wife and I are ready as it gets really tough cooking a meal for 35 -40 people or more.
It has been an enjoyable 43 years

 

feeding an army lol. no but we always go down to my grandparents on my dads side for christmas 18 years strong on that. cant go see my moms side because both her parents died when she was young, and she died when i was young. cancer's a bitch

 

Yea, my family is small to begin with, 9 people total. Once my grandparents passed away we stopped going there and then my mother took over the meals. I think every year she complained, it seemed as though she hated it. ... when I look back, i think my mother just hated a lot of things that inconvenienced her; like family. lol
I think my aunt and uncle spent the 25th with my cousin
we invited my cousin over and a friend who is away from his fam over for the 24th.
My parents and my sister spent it likely on the 24th elsewhere.

It is a shame, it was a bit of a tough Christmas for everyone in my house meaning my wife and I. My son doesnt understand as he is only 3 and is happy to get monster jam trucks and hot wheel cars.

Feeding 35-40 people is nuts! Talk about hot plates, tinfoil and food sitting in a microwave and oven. LOL
Good on you for being the cookers, big task! What was on the menu?

Damn, cancer is killing my uncle right now. Stage 4. It amazes me they have not solved some cancers.

 

Time to bring this old thread back to life!

 

Already have some presents in mind? I think I have the wife talked into one of the following:

Either a Reverant Built MS3 for the NB

or this for the FD:
