    You'll never know how many posts I searched trying to find you something. Everytime I had an idea, Id read another thread that you had this or that or just got that. So I said heck with it and got you something I use a lot. It's something I use when out in the woods or scrounging for wood. Great for tractor or four wheel trips.

    I smuggled one back from Canada when I worked the Olympics back in 2010. I had never seen them in the Midwest.
    I love it. It's great for dragging back through the woods and not having 15 things to take with ya or just a load up and go. I did some revisions to mine... Pics to follow when I'm home. I added a vent for both tanks. They are stout plastic and has withstood abuse since I got it.

    Anyways that's just the little gift. The other one I made. That's all I'm saying...

    I got this wonderful book from Grizz Grizzly Adam.
    The best part of this gift was I waited to the very end when
    Everyone else was done and opened this last. I got a lot of oohs and an Ahhh.
    Thank you very much Grizz and everyone Else who participated.
    I really enjoyed seeing what others got
    And some of lengths the SS's put into their gifts.

    Glad you like it Uni. Peavey's showroom almost made me pass out. So cool to see tools made the same way for over 150 years... in the same place.

    Dang! You caught me.
    I really thought that the glue was a pretty obscure hint. Oh well. Merry Christmas!

    I thought it referred to what you take wood cutting.

    It did. The hint was that I was the one who mentioned having crazy glue in the first aid kit for cuts and splitters when out in the woods.
    Good job sleuthing that one out!

    Those wedges work pretty good too. Might have to get more of the bigger ones from you sometimes-- mine are getting pretty chewed up.

    The one that I sent was a short wide angle one that is useful for times where you need to fill a gap but cant use a long wedge. Its made out of Delrin plastic so it doesn't ruin the chain if you hit it. You cant get these in stores that I'm aware of.
