    My wife said she thinks its "sweet" how were all so excited over this. She said at first she thought it was a waste of money then saw how into it I was and about what others have said, done. Then she was really excited.

    I said its cause your getting a gift from someone pretty much just like me. Many of the same interests. Not some dumb gift that you usually get. Like a shirt or something that you don't really need. Nooffense if anyone gave a shirt!

    Tell her it's a better hobby than sitting in a bar, or many others.

    I agree with that for instance were doing Christmas with my family on Sunday and with hers next Saturday, but overall Christmas presents should wait until Christmas day.

    The kids tree (foreground) is the Santa presents tree. Tree in the back ground (also single pic) is the family presents tree. My FHC gift is the big white one in the back.

    Can't wait till Christmas! !

    The wife is home every weekend (teacher) and I have to work this weekend. So that means a clean house :)

    Gas- I don't know what it is. Other than my Wife saying "You are gonna Love It"!!

    I don't like to spoil it. I picked it up and I can say, that it feels like a frame? I would not hate a framed pic of a MS 460 or MS 441 for my basement :) I have been on the hunt for chainsaw relics and related items.

    My Wife knows me pretty good (13 yrs) so I very much trust her opinion. I know I will love whatever it is.

    Plus, those 2 rooms are always clean (dining room and family room) we watch 90% of TV in the living room. Which is attached to the kitchen. I could take a pic of that mess? Wife wrapped presents today and it's a mess in there. :)
