Christmas day was great. We slept late, got up, went upstairs, turned on the Weather Channel and zoned out on that for a while. We opened cards and presents (best card was one with blinking lights from Dudette and Wichi Dude). Ws called his brothers, and tried to get ahold of his sister, but she has a new boyfriend (according to one brother), so wasn't around. I called WD/Dudette then Cop Car and HH. I got totally jealous because they had temps in the 60's, while we sere stuck with low 40's, clouds and occassional rain.
WS and I just piddled around for most of the day. We brought up the wood CD organizer (which I had finished polyurathaning Saturday) and started alphabetizing our CD's. We got up to Pink Floyd before we ran out of room. That is okay though, the rest of the CDs fit in the small, tabletop CD organizer we have. We did get all the CD's out of the drawer of the china cabinet (which is slated to hold DVDs instead).
We moved the desk back to its place in front of the window in the den (it had been moved so Harry could put in the new window), then WS went out and fixed the generator (that is a long story, but we bought it 1 1/2 years ago from some friends that were moving, and it never worked for us - our luck again. I finally got the part we needed from a web store a couple of weeks ago). The generator actually fired up after WS replaced the sending unit, so now we just need to find an electrician to hook it up, then have PSNH come out and inspect it. I figure another 2 years and we will have the generator hooked up.
Just as WS was finishing up with the generator, Karen came bearing gifts (and cookies), so we excahnged gifts and visited with her for a while. She also brought the movie Robots, so we watched that and laughed our asses off.
After Karen left, we re-attached our asses, and headed to Harry and Heather's to drop off their gift. We gabbed with them and played with their puppy (a 5 month old mastiff that is as big as Prince) then came home and heated up spaghetti that I had taken out of the freezer.
All-in-all, it was a great day!
So glad you had a peaceful and happy Christmas. We did too ... Best wishes for the New Year!

It sounds like you had a lovely laid back day, one I would haved liked to have myself. We had the morning at home, and then traveled to Dear Husband's daughter's for the afternoon. We might have gotten home a bit sooner, but the GUYS were invested in the Bear's game.
Is the generator a back up for the house, or are you going to provide heat for the dogs??

Sounds like you had a great day. And we loved Robots as well. LMAO BTW, try supergluttumus for that ass problem.

Buffy - funny lady, it will eventually be backup for the house (fridge and freezer are the important ones - hot water would be nice). Additionally, it is better for WS to run his welder off of a generator instead of house current - a generator has more consistant output (or something like that)..
WD - Supergluttumus, can I find that at the local hardware store or do I have to go to a hobby shop?

It's in the hardware store next to the unobtainium.

Cop Car certainly knows where the good is on the shelves. I've been looking for unobtainium for a while.
I also think you can find the Supergluttumus at your local body shop. Not too sure about that though.
