LOL same here!! :rotfl:

Our tree fell over this year too halfway decorated. Tree stand was widened out with 1/2" plywood and 3/8" bolts. :headbang:

Ya know, if you have carpet over plywood for your flooring, a few drywall screws solves that problem. I know, redneck tech, but it works!
 
LOL, true, but if I tried to go in there and do that I think Kate would have taken my power tools away :D
 
Glad that I am not the only one that has had tree woes. So all the hardware is on the top and she is cinched down tighter than Dick's hatband. I didn't have to take Landon to day care this morning because I had to get to work at 6:00 to start the prime rib for our Christmas party so I drove the Jeep. 30 pounds of sweet sweet prime rib on the big green egg! Dear lord was it good. I had about a 16-18 oz cut a huge baked potato and salad and 2 peices of homemade chocolate layer cake. That is on top of the awesome deer summer sausage that I had for breakfast off the grill. Needless to say it is a good thing that I wear slip on boots because there is no way that I could tie shoes right now! I need to get a seal on the rear hatch so it doesn't rattle so much. I'll try to take care of that this afternoon.
 
Proof of said prime rib.....

Resting for 30 minutes after 2.5 hours at 250.

Back on the heat a 550-600 to sear the outside until the internal temperature came up to (2) Med Rares, (2) Med, (1) and Med Well.

I think this is the well done one when we were putting the med rare back on the heat.

We used the reverse sear method and I am not kidding it was the best steak I had ever eaten in my life!!
 
Dude, you're killing me! :bow: serious droolage!
 
Oh my. Those look fantastic. :bacon: ok, maybe the bacon icon isn't proper, but you get the point!
 
OK.... Someone here ows me a nights sleep. All I could do was think about how good that looked! :drool: :wave:
 
There BETTER be one of those in the mail for my Christmas diner!!! Heck. I'll happily send you some food from the mess hall in exchange! ;)

I've actually seen a box of hot dogs some years back that were labeled "Not suitable for human consumption". I kid you not! Wish I had had a camera... lol!
 
The best thing about that day was that i didn't have to buy the meat! Second best thing was that I got to spend the whole morning cooking instead of working and third best thing was that i got to spend the afternoon eating and hanging out with my peeps here at work. It was a pretty dang good day!

This weekend was good other than a little bathroom leak that I woke up to Saturday morning. Got a lot of Christmas shopping done Friday night. Then after the plumbing repair, it was time to wash, wax and decorate the jeep for the parade. We were limited to 25 jeeps but we had a great time for sure and won second place as an entry. Here are the pics.....

Great photos. Good memories being made.

PM me your mailing address. I have some good contacts with a big guy in a red suit that says he visits your house once a year. Thought he might drop off a rattle can or two for you. :thumbsup: :wave:
 
Speaking of Santa, you guys check this out. So as I hope you can tell, I love love love my whole family. As any good jeep family does we came up with an upgrade for my dad's CJ5 for Christmas. We are putting a stereo in it for him without him knowing it! It has nothing now so anything is an improvement. I typed out a text message from Santa last night and had one of my buddies that I knew my dad wouldnt have their number send it to him. Here is the message that I....I mean Santa sent him.

" Dear Bill,

This is Santa. I need Brett to bring me your jeep. I seem to have gotten the sled stuck at the north pole and everyone says you have the baddest jeep with a winch and I need it. If you want Landon to get his presents you wont ask any questions and you'll just give Brett the keys. You wouldn't want your precious sweet Landon to not get any presents would you?! Ill have the elves give it a good wash before I give it back to Brett to bring to you.

Ps- just because you can't have cookies don't mean I can't! Don't forget the cookies and milk!

Sincerely,

Santa"

So as I walk into my dad's house last night he is kicked back in his easy chair and he kinka cuts his eyes over to me and says, "I think we have some kind of Jeep conspiracy in progress here." I did everything I could not to bust out laughing and my step mom was doing the same. I'm the ONLY person that dad lets drive the 5. He said he responded to Santa and told him that I was the only one he trusted to drive the jeep. I told him that I wanted to stay on the "NICE" list so I was just doing what I was told and he had Landon's gifts hostage so he better give me the keys. So I made it home with the Jeep and me and Tyler are doing the install tomorrow night and my sis is wrapping all the components of the system for him to unwrap Christmas morning hopefully not putting two and two together that we have already installed it. The last gift we are going to give him is a card that says, "And then there was a joyful noise!" and his favorite song, which is LBT's Pontoon will come blasting from the garage where his jeep parks. I know it is a very drawn out plan but it will be a blast.

MRBEEP....the funny thing is that Jess made me take the doors off for the parade!! :-)
 
Great Parade, and awesome Christmas planning!
