    Opened my SS gift! Included a coffee grinder, 2 delicious brands of coffee beans, and a coffee press!! The coffee press is missing the "press" part :zip:. But we still ground some up and ran it through the Keurig K cup filter we have!

    I opened my SS package about a week ago, being the big kid I am. :whistle:
    I received a couple of beautiful hand-made gifts and I'm pretty sure I know who my SS is!

    My wife has already put the bag to use (she loves it) and I've been loading the wallet - can't wait to show it off.

    Thanks to Secret Santas Dennis and Judy (hope I guessed right!)

    I'm thinking my SS mailed the package from a very small town to keep me guessing...
    Using Barcroftb's address:heidi:...that was a good trick!:BrianK:........:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:


    I believe this town is very close to Sullivan, Oh.
    Thank you, DexterDay ! The gifts are so cool!

    I waited to open mine and made it til 11:30pm Christmas Eve.....it's an awesome book on the history of the chainsaw and how it forever changed the timber industry! Hardcover, jacketed, and amazing glossy pics of some legendary chainsaws. And the REAL kicker is I happen to own several saws that are in that book!

    I have NO IDEA who my SS was......so whoever you are, thank you!!

    :thumbs: Hope everyone enjoyed their gifts!! Sorry I got Ruger a little extra something but I had to keep my little buddy happy :D

    I texted Brad and asked if it was OK if I used his Addy as a return address. With everything in that box I wanted to make sure it got back to one of us!! I wish the PO didn't stamp where it came from!! :headbang:

    Merry Christmas!!
