Mariner Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 So what was everyone's big score this year? Adam's related or not I'll go first. I spent actual Christmas on the ship this year, but before I came back to work, my parents traveled to Florida from Maine for a week to visit me. I hadn't seen them in over a year now. So that was my best gift by far. 8675309'SS, falcaineer and DieselDude 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwhite0960 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Got a new shotgun and a foam cannon would be my biggest scores. Also me and the wife didn't do gifts we're going to Jamaica in April instead so I guess that takes the cake falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to snag a TON of Adam's, and can't wait till spring! falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wife and I don't exchange gifts any more (43 years married), but we did make the trip to Maryland to visit with our daughter and grandkids and those two are always my best gifts. ocdrifter, LFairbanks, Captain Slow and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) That you in the middle, Rich?! As for my best "gift", it was a tie between a (REALLY YUMMY ) prime rib dinner with family and friends, and watching the kids open their gifts.

PacificNWBuckeye Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 No kids here and all our family on both sides are in Ohio. Not sure I had a favorite thing, but the wife got me a couple mystery boxes leading up to Christmas as well as a couple safety razors. The RazoRock Slant is the best shaver and the 1921 Gillette New Standard is the prettiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Detail Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I got an AR-12 from my mother and father-in-law. This was my awesome Adam's Christmas haul ocdrifter, zapdon, DieselDude and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Aside from having time off and able to get some sleep, seeing my wife and kid was the best. The month of December, a lot of days I leave before they get up and get home after they are in bed. Material wise, my favorite was a code reader. I knew I was getting it, as the wife had me order it.

DieselDude Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well I enjoyed spending time with my family (family is important to me). Well I will be going on a trip to Walt Disney World in the spring (a whole week), also got money to do a road trip (one whole week), and money/gifts cards......and a gift to myself in a couple weeks (vehicle to me from me).

Blue17CamaroZL1 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Girlfriend put a down payment on my 2017 Camaro ZL1 on 12/26/16. Should take delivery sometime around April-June depending on when in the Phase II cycle my dealer got their allocation. ocdrifter, Mariner, 2Fords and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming she's going to become the mrs. If not, you better grab her before someone else does.

Jordan Silveira Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Well I got a Swirl Killer Mystery Box. That was pretty sweet! However for actual Christmas, I got the Glass Master Pro which is something I've been wanting to make cleaning windshields (front and rear) easier 8675309'SS and ocdrifter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, spending the holidays with family is always the best part about it Hey man, being a fellow Sailor I know what it's like to wake up in the morning wanting nothing more than your family only to be greeted by blue-green vastness. Don't discount what you do. Plus, what would we do without guys like you to get us our Korean made MFs? My best gift was getting to spend a week with my kids who live with their mother in a different state. Mariner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world is 70%+ ocean... plenty of us out here just moving stuff from place to place! Glad to hear you got to spend the holidays with family. Since I've started out here, family has a much different meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I got some T4/T5 AAC composit side rocker add ons and two Adams gift certs which I used to buy myself a Sidekick and a few others things :-). I picked up some extra time Christmas morning on the ambulance to let one of the younger guys be home for the morning since my girls wouldn't be home till after dinner time Christmas Day. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
