Freebird Posted December 25, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2012 Well come on then...spill it. What did he leave? I'm the only one awake here so far. Nothing under the tree for me though. I got and installed a couple of things for the bike a couple of weeks ago. Twinky covers and saddlebag lid covers. That was SUPPOSED to be all this year but......well.......yesterday I bit the bullet and ordered myself a new 2012 Martin D18 guitar. Martin totally updated the D18 for 2012 and it's awesome. Couldn't find one locally though so I finally ordered one. Should be here by the end of the week. So how about it folks. I know that MOST of you have been naughty but some of you probably got stuff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted December 25, 2012 Share #5 Posted December 25, 2012 Good morning and Merry Christmas ! Had my kids (25 and 23) over for dinner last night. For me that was all I needed... but also got a Tim Horton's gift card, poster for the pool room, and a Home Depot gift card. Life is good... can get a coffee, play some pool and have the rules handy, then get more tools ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am way too spoiled and am embarrassed to list what I found under the tree this morning....A couple of my favorite items is a 2 carrot black sapphire ring, a canon camera and a soda maker....way, way to much to list....I must have been very,very,very good this year...ps. got to learn how to fly this helicopter before my grandkids get here and destroy me with theirs...

Freebird Posted December 25, 2012 Share #10 Posted December 25, 2012 Not much to do with it. It is almost perfect for me right out of the box. Maybe some bone or ebony bridge pins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bvinson Posted December 26, 2012 Share #15 Posted December 26, 2012 That was SUPPOSED to be all this year but......well.......yesterday I bit the bullet and ordered myself a new 2012 Martin D18 guitar. I seem to remember a thread that said that you were done with the guitar upgrades.... I just did some horse trading for a Taylor 314CE. Now all I have to do is learn to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 26, 2012 Share #16 Posted December 26, 2012 I'll take your old one..... Well, I just sold a Washburn that I am replacing with this Martin. My "old" one now is the Martin Custom Shop GPCPA1 that I bought a few months ago. I don't think it is going anywhere. I seem to remember a thread that said that you were done with the guitar upgrades.... I just did some horse trading for a Taylor 314CE. Now all I have to do is learn to play it That is a great guitar. I actually started looking at those but I really wanted just a straight dreadnaught acoustic this time. I did look at the Taylor DN3 which is the non-cutaway non-electric version of your 314CE. I came very close to buying it but just couldn't get my mind off the D18. An yea...I think I do remember saying that I was done. LOL....you actually BELIEVED that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBJ Posted December 27, 2012 Share #17 Posted December 27, 2012 Phew! I finally got on line. I've been doing double parties for families and friends since Sunday. Thank goodness for snow so i can stay home and rest, LOL! But I already bought myself the 87 this year, My 2008 car this fall, and the lil rebel i bought to teach friends how to ride. Christmas brought me calendars, clothes, books and movies and lots and lots of love from My family and friends. THAT was the best gift of all!

Wrench Posted December 27, 2012 Share #18 Posted December 27, 2012 From the looks of some of these posts, I'm guessing that gee-tars are like bikes,,,,,,,,,,,never done "upgrading", huh??!! I've always wanted to learn the guitar, but never tried it, my wife did buy me a banjo for our 2nd Christmas(1978), but my fingers just never got the message. Santa was pretty good to me too I guess, got a new bike jack, the old one was bleeding by just enough that it wouldn't lift the Venture, so my son got it. Got a half-gallon of some primo moonshine too, and that'll help pass the time down in the garage while I'm doing the HD muffler swap and a few other things. BTW, I don't think I've ever seen anybody mention white whiskey. Surely I'm not the only redneck here,,,, am I?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
