Haven't opened the presents from my wife yet, so I still have hope. HA!
Wish for the stars, and be joyous for the simple daily gifts.

Very true Walt, I hope for all good pictures this coming year and maybe a little more time to accomplish projects. A gift perhaps I can only give to myself. Pretty much have all the gear I want or need. & A happier world to work would be nice also.

Pretty wet up here as well, though we might get snow tonight, unfortunately, all the wetness will freeze as well. Guess I can't have it all.

What I Wanted: To go back to the years when my kids were little and thought Santa Claus left all those presents under the tree.
What I got: Telephone calls with my kids, both many thousands of miles away, and a very comfortable, peaceful morning with my beautiful wife. Age does have some advantages, just not very many.

I wanted was an US manufactured torque wrench that went up to 250 ft/lbs. What I got was a Speed Graphic 4x5 a month early and a Lumber Rack for my truck which I pick up today. Guess I have to buy my own torque wrench. :) Oh and I shouldn't forget the 6 pairs of wool socks which make that Speed Graphic more enjoyable to use this time of year.

Don't worry about it and don't bother retaking the class. Mine was a 3.92 class of 1986. And absolutely no-one since then has ever asked..............
