Reasons to be cheerful!

My car almost passed inspection. All I need is one tire. That's such a relief.

That's always a nice surprise!

Especially when you know that the muffler won't pass.

Feeling less sleep deprived.

I'm working a normal week, but it's getting quieter by the hour. I like it - getting to actually do that mountain of work I saved for the quiet times.

That's what nights are for!

Going to the shopping centre in a while to buy presents. Since I'm terrible at buying presents, I'll probably just get everyone a gift card.

There is a notion or perhaps a beginning of a sensible line of reasoning.  It is reported that 25% or more of American households are adopting a No gifting agreement with their relatives.   The matter of fact is that many of us already have what we need or want.  Any further introductions into our household is neither needed or wanted.  Christmas gifting, according to Lucy in the Peanuts comic strip, is a scam perpetrated by a big retail syndicate in the east.

Alright already, we still give gifts to little kids who still believe in Santa Clause.  My most revered daughter who lives hundreds of miles away has not yet signed up with the practical matter.  She sent me a beautiful bottle of fifteen year old scotch...... What the hell I may change my mind about the not gifting thing.

I could never stick to a no-gift rule, I enjoy gifts too much.  This year, tho, in order to avoid the giving people things they don't want or need problem, I donated money in everyone's name to a charity I thought they'd like.  I'll see how well that goes over.

I think that I would pour said scotch out, slowly, in protest.

Kind of like the story about the popular professor at a university who was given a box of his favorite cigars by his class at the end of the school year. His comment was, "We are not supposed to take gifts from students, since it may look as though they are currying favor for grades. Therefore, I am going to take these home and burn them."

Holidays!

Well, the newest Nikon is headed to the stable. It's one of their Prostaff rimfire rifle scopes and I have to say that the low light performance is very impressive. I'll mount it tonight and sight it in tomorrow. Five hundred rounds should do the trick.

This is a camera, right?  Looking forward to the results.

No, this is a rifle scope. Clay targets shall tremble at the mention of my name!
