Just about to have dinner, but wanted to stop by first. Glad to see everyone had a great Christmas.

And anytime you can get Star Wars in there, it's that much better!
I'll just tell you about the 2 big things I got this year. The first you all know about. It arrived over a week ago: my new gas grill.

Got the thing put together, got the tank, now I just need a decent day to try it out.

The other toy I got is really, really cool. So cool in fact, that I've crashed it a number of times.

It's a beginner's kind of remote controlled model airplane.

Shaped like a Stealth fighter, it's made all out of foam & has 2 small plastic props. You hold the remote switch to run the engine, toss it in the air, then fly it around (no landing gear). It has a small battery that runs for 7 minutes, then needs a recharge. I crashed it pretty good a few times at the IL's yesterday. Hit a fence too.

I need to get some tape and foam to reshape the nose, tho. It's sorta banged up pretty bad (darned fence!). Well, the rest of it is just fine, just the nose.

If you're thinking about getting into flying, this is a good way. Granted, it still costs like $70 or so, but it's cheaper than the real thing!! Tomorrow I plan to "fix" it and take to the skies again.
Gotta run. Dinner calls. I'll try to ketchup w/ ya'll later!!
