Got mine early, not a firearm, but my first mechanical clock.

Howard Miller Mantel Clock 142-H Triple Chime 4992. Wound and for the last two days and hasn't lost a second. Made about 1973. Really like it in my office. Chimes every 1/4 hour. Measures 11”x7”x15”.

A great find on craigslist. No way we could afford one like it new.

LOL...my wife has an alternate motive brewing for me...
So far they bought me:
Shop Graco Project Painter Plus Sprayer at Lowes.com
She also bought me a two wheel wheelbarrow, shovel, deck stain stripper, stain, and some assorted things. She's also stated she'll be getting me a router and orbital sander....FML...lmao

She's already had me pick up the 1200 brick pavers from the rear patio...dammit

Heyyyy, thats not cool. Thats like you getting her a vacuum cleaner or washing machine

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

trust me, she'll be getting a cook book and crock pot, lol. Nah, it's good though. She's right there next to me doing the work. Bought our house a year ago. Good bones, just needs some updating. Besides, if she knew I was buying her a vacuum, she'd tell me to get her a Dyson....I know they're good, but 500+ dollars!? OH HEEEELLLLLLLLL no, lol

Mossberg 500 with a 20" barrel. I haven't even had a chance to shoot it. I cleaned it yesterday. After removing the trigger assembly, it fell apart. I had to watch a youtube video to figure out how to reassemble it. I hope to shoot it this weekend.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I got her a dishwasher for Mother's day. The kids operate it, so she doesn't have to do many dishes. That was the deal she wanted and I was happy to oblige.

Too many little hands to keep it down low.

I begged to get NO presents. I end up having to pay for them and somehow there seem to be lots of OTHER stores in the vicinity that my wife feels the need to support.

My Dad no longer wants any toys for holidays, so I got him a gift basket with a bunch of different kinds of nuts. He's thrilled with that and has already hidden them from my mother so she won't get eat them all. Got my FIL some bandsaw blades. He's too cheap (or broke) to order new ones as long as there are a few teeth left on it.

I got one early present: Cabela's Chaise Loungers Mine is blue in the XL size. That thing is amazingly comfortable for a folding chair. Already fell asleep in it twice.

 

[Clockwork]

I gave my father one of my kidneys in 2007.

I figure I'm in the clear for 2011.

I'll give you a box of rocks, and if you promise to be good, I'll paint one.

Tickets to Ben Folds tonight at the Meyerson. It's going to be an awesome show by one of my favorite musicians.

Our 14 y/o son ran away on mother's day (I got him back), so I have NO idea what to expect on Father's day. Although my 17 y/o daughter and 9 y/o son are usually good for a hand-made card...
