Here we've got this multi-million dollar empire at a stand-still because all of our female employees are shopping! Alright, I'll admit it, I went to Menards before the sun was up, myself, to see if I could save enough to make it worthwhile. Man, I love Menards! I could have shown up at anytime and still would have got everything I wanted to.

Here's the best part: Our family exchanges names every year, but if you get your own name, everybody has to throw their names back into the hat and draw again; with one exception: If grampa ( That would be me ) draws his own name, he can keep it, because everybody hates to draw grampa because his list sucks, because he already owns everything worth owning.

So guess who drew his own name this year? This is going to be the coolest Christmas ever. Wait until I start using a dolly to haul out all of the gifts that I bought for my exchange person.

Love it Paul!

I spent black Friday up in mountains trapping beaver. 7 miles of dirt road with the last 17 miles of my journey out of cell service. BEAT THAT!!!
