Holidays 08: The Payoff

[Chadd 916]

On a sad note our one fox hound Bunker seems to have received cancer for Christmas. waiting for test results tomorrow and if its positive he is going to be put down Sunday or Monday :(

My wife had to have our Aussie put down a few years ago, while I was in Vegas for the hockey show, on my birthday. Enjoy the time you have with him now.

the red ring of death on my xbox

Got it today.

I'm expecting the red rings anyday now.....my 360 can barely read discs now. I thought it was just my 09 disc, but it turns out it won't read anything now.

I got a 360, Ipod Touch, clothes, money, and some games for my 360. All in all it was a great Christmas and I wish you guys all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

Just bit the bullet and picked up something for myself. Since I've been getting back into playing guitar more and more lately, I decided to pick up a thinline tele. This one is a mid-80s MIJ model.

Wow chadd that is a really nice present to yourself lol. I have been considering buying a tele as well all i have electric wise is ibanex gax, totally different sound from what a tele is.

I only have one red ring and the extended warranty only covers if you have three and my warranty expired less than two weeks ago. Its going to be about $100 to repair or 200 for a new arcade. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

Now, I got the RROD, but then I restarted and while the Xbox froze, it didn't reappear (I only tried once.)

Will they know?

[dalebert 8]

I know from experience it will start coming back to haunt you. You may want to call and just explain the situation they may just take it back anyway.

Fletch, google how to clear your cache. I had the same problem for a week or two and since I cleared it, it's worked brilliantly for a couple weeks (knocks on wood).

[Theodoras 0]

I got an amount of cash. Which will be thrown into new ice hockey gear after I'm done paying for my snowboard trip and any other expenses I see fit. Not sure. I got two jackets, one nice and thick one nice and thin. Girlfriend got me a beanie for the snow. And my friend's parents bought me a lift ticket for tomorrow. I did well this year...........

I "loaned" my father my tele copy that I built so I needed a new one. I've been going through a fender phase again lately, and I've never had a thinline tele over the years. I did have a couple Ibanez, 560 and a 570 if I remember correctly. Nice guitars but the locking trem stuff is way too much of a pain in the ass for me. I wouldn't mind a nice Ibanez artist or ghostrider though, the ghostrider was a really nice guitar that flew way under the radar when it came out.

They will take it back regardless, from what I have heard.

Oh yeah, I know all about that. I usually have to do it 5-6 times before the game finally works. One thing I have noticed that helps is starting my system up, letting it sit for about 2 hours, then trying the game. For whatever reason, it works with no problems after that.

[fatwabbit 93]

dont normally get anything. I buy my own presents. This year, still waiting for some sticks to arrive, and thats about it.

[k13 0]

a great deal of sleep. Family has been great by not bothering me much this holiday. Been tough the last few months with a tough term at school, coupled by a rough illness.

Quite possibly the best present i've ever gotten. I almost feel like my old self again ;)

[Rustpot 1]

Got myself a single malt cask reserve Macallan today, late X-mas present to myself. It will be good, 120 proof $70 scotch is worth it.

yeah thats cool

Apparently, I was given financial security for Christmas.

On Christmas morn, we anxiously awaited as the garage door opened to reveal The Big D's new car with a red bow (which had remained on the car lot for 3 1/2 months until Santa's sleigh could pick it up) and a TV in the back seat (although Miss A was slightly disappointed that Santa had misunderstood she had meant "TV's in the seat backs!")

Anyway, a couple of hours later, Miss A said, "I'm so glad Santa brought us a new car and the TV. Now we're not poor anymore!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, because we won't have to pay for them......"

1943 vintage Enfield #4 Mk1 My Christmas present to myself

BEAUTIFUL rifle. Incredibly envious of that one. :)

As for myself, a M1 Garand will be my next collector.

[Monty22 833]

Thanks. The finish ia a bit worn but the wood is in great shape. Can't wait to see how it shoots.

An M-1 is on my list as well.
