Alas, no motorcycle-inspired gifts. However, I got a new IPad, an amazing guitar tuner, two coffee cups, and a case of J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon. A superb haul!

I got a free calendar from the bank after I asked them for one.

That's it and I'm as happy as a sissy on a troop train.

I got one of the Harbor Freight wheel chocks, and a set of long Allen sockets..   Thats my Guzzi content. The chock works awesome! I dont have a center stand, and it firmly holds the bike up so I can work on it, and even jack up the other end for tire changes. To this point Ive only been using hand allen wrenches.. This is my first guzzi, and I mostly work on old US made cars, so never really had a huge need for any more..

Also typing this on a new Lenovo laptop!  SO thats KINDA guzzi content since Im reading this on it, and us it for Guzzi Diag.

A calendar page for the month of November that had been on the fridge. Every night when I came home from work the wife would greet me with a red pen and we'd cross the day off, serving as my countdown to retirement at month end.

She framed it.

(Hope she doesn't want to destroy it in the years ahead.... :thewife:.!!!!!)

A flexible schedule is the best part of retirement. It's a gift that gives all year long.

I cant read this anymore after the last entry :)

It seems that we're all about the same age. I'm still awaiting that every day being free but I can taste it.

Instead of bogus stuff, my inlaws gave me some Christmas cash.  While I was still visiting at their house & memorizing the Internet on Saturday, I turned their gifts into a 20 yr old but barely used Made in USA compact bender with accessories & approx 300 lbs of brand new 10' long assorted hot rolled rod, tube and flat steel & more for the general inventory- all for $100 on c/l just 30 min from their place... very cool-





The goal is to make a little more tooling & use it to bend new head pipes for my Guzzi Corsa Record project plus other projects.

I'd love to comply, but my security officer in the witness protection program told me "Don't post any pictures of your identifying physical features on the internet!"

That and as a part time porn star, my producer made me sign a non-competition agreement a couple years ago.  They have exclusive copyright ownership of all the money making pictures and video.

That's exactly what Mary Sue Yellin said in Little Red Riding Hood meets Sasquatch.!

If you’re a porn star then I’ve already seen it. It looked a lot bigger on the large screen Samsung than on my mobile under the covers..!

Thanks.  Gratifying to hear. 

Bringing joy into the lives of total strangers was one of the primary reasons I got into show biz in the first place.

All the selfish fame and fortune that motivates most stars of the big screen never appealed to me.
