    So what did Santa bring you?

    I got tired of my son getting better gear (that I paid for, of course) than me, including a new Steve Vai model Ibanez Jem, and an Orange amplifier. So I said screw it and custom ordered a new PRS (Paul Reed Smith) for my self. For those of you who aren't into it, it's guitar stuff. Told my family not to get me anything because I didn't need anything, and had too much "stuff" laying around doing nothing anyway. So, they all gave me gift cards with cash on them. Probably buy more "stuff".

    So what did the great bearded one bring you?

    In addition to the usual "stocking stuffers" I received a drone. Totally unexpected. And, a pretty nice one with a 1920x1080p camera, GPS, "Follow Me" technology, etc. Surprised, and pleased.

    Sounds cool. I bought a cheap one a couple of years ago, crashed it into the side of the condo, and after that it was pretty much FUBAR. Decided right then that I didn't want a good one.

    You'll need to post some cool real time filming when you get that thing up and running.

    Will do. Just went through the FAA process of "registration" for the drone. Now have a certificate, and a number to put on it, legal to fly. Memory cards arriving tomorrow, test flights soon there-after.

    Thank you. And please keep it low. Consumer UASesses can be an absolute menace when not operated safely and correctly. Then again, so can lasers, and there's always idiots out there with both.

    Absolutely. It is in "Beginner Mode" now, and will stay that way for quite awhile. 100 feet max in altitude and distance from the controller.

    Nice stuff, fellas. Jim, I'd like to be adopted if your son is getting that kind of gear. What model PRS did you get? I got my sights on a Custom 24 some day.
    There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

    No shit? Where to?

    As for myself I intentionally asked for nothing. I got some pistol magazines though. I intentionally did not ask or want anything. Christmas is too much work. Too stressful. Shopping gets in the way of Christmas so this year I decided to do something about it.

    Damn, Sinner, I think you got the mega-mojo present of anyone here or else where as far as presents go. Going to do any sport fishing down there?

    Nothing. We bought for our son and all of his cousins, but otherwise, we did not spend a ton.

    Hope you guys all had a great Christmas!

    Spare a moment to think of Luis, for those that remember him.
