well guys, we FINALLY managed to squeeze Christmas in!
first a little info on our weekend, which fittingly enough, fell right in with the rest of 2013... after postponing Christmas due to illness for a week, I finally had no choice but to actually get dressed sat. the mrs had a 50th birthday party planned for a friend who's family came in from Jersey & WV as a surprise, so no cancelling that. couple hrs into that & one of the guests decides to stop breathing & fall out.. (insert fire trucks & ambulance here) always nice to create some excitement in the neighborhood. get that taken care of & ready for bed around 1am, the S.I.L. calls, the nephew just totaled his car & she wants to have it towed here. tow truck finally arrives, so I'm outside in the rain at 3:30am showing them where to drop it at. we finally get in bed at 5am, so our Christmas breakfast was pushed back further. sleep in, get up & have early afternoon coffee. the S.I.L. calls again later, seems the M.I.L. who has numerous health issues is now not acting right. we load up & go check on her, false alarm, just having a bad day & finally get to start our Christmas at about 10pm last night...
now to the good stuff! finally was able to open the W.E. package from DEL65. packed away neatly inside a priority mail box was the following:
12" ford parts sign
hot august nights hat
travel bag (the mrs already claimed this)
cool diecast 64 coupe
50th anniv mercury pin
rat fink key chain
Disney cars luggage tag (mrs claimed this too!)
MSD keyring/i.d. badge neck loop (our youngest claimed this for his work i.d.)
cool car show poster (will get hung in the shop with the ford sign)
2014 calendar magnet (I use these to hang notes in the shop on the metal cabinet)
car parts; various plug wire seperators & a new manual brake pedal pad with stainless trim ring
local events newspaper from modesto
also included was a vintage firestone tire ashtray! I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I collect those, so was a REALLY great addition!
just want to say THANKS! to John (DEL65) for all the cool stuff!
also THANKS! to Craig for organizing this again this year!
