I got a new tree stand. Really didn’t ask for much this year, we are in the middle of a house build, and furniture, and other accessories will be needed, so we will be purchasing many new things this spring, so we decided to hold off on other things for now.
A pair of Moultrie cell cams, and a small, cheap Drone from Temu. Not expecting much from the drone but we'll play with it to see if we'd get use out of a better one.
This year was a lot more giving than receiving. I gave my niece and nephew my old Daisy .22 rifle and bought their family a new semi-auto .22 so they could go plinking together. The kids are about the right age to learn how to shoot, buy way too simall for proper guns. I also gave them throwing knives and tomahawks, plus various targets and gardening stuff. I hope it all will give us more hobbies in common. They're all into that stuff already, but mostly just scratching the surface. Should be fun.
Carbon steel griddle. Do a lot of cooking on cast iron but still made pancakes and such on non-stick cookware. Trying to get rid of all that teflon type stuff.
What I asked for .......... Rayovac D cell batteries for cell cameras, I got a couple of 12 packs and hope I have a couple more coming. My wife insisted I needed more gifts. So I also got 3 new 12' inflatables for the yard Rudolph, a Christmas tree and the Bumble! I currently have a 12' Santa and a snowman. I do like the giant inflatable yard decorations. Kansas wind is a bitch though.. LOL. I will wait to set them all up until next Christmas, the new house does not have grass so the yard is a muddy mess everytime we get precipitation.
Got some new Alpha Burleys (800 g variety) and my brother came through big time with a sweet First Lite jacket (my current outer fleece is probably 20+ years old and a size medium..i haven’t been a medium in 20 years..)….here’s to being warm in the new year!
Our house sets on a hill and even with what we currently have I can't believe the FFA has not coming knocking on the door! You can see our Santa from a mile away.
