    I just wanted to wish everyone a very SAFE and Happy Holiday... No matter how you intend to celebrate... Please be safe when traveling... There's always a moron who wants go faster than you or an a-hole who goes slower.... Let them be.... Florida has a saying... "Arrive Alive"... Please keep that in mind when/if you intend to travel this weekend and over the New Year.

    Remember it not the gift giving/getting.... It is the spending of quality time with those that you care about that really matters. Be thankful for what you have regardless if you have a lot or a little... There is ALWAYS someone in worse shape that you are and they are dealing with it.

    And give your Toughbook a present! Clean the keyboard and screen! Recalibrate the battery and touchscreen! Defrag the hard drive!

    Everyone have a good time and please be safe!

    Warm Regards to ALL,

    Rick

    Good point Rick

    It’s not about the gift giving, It’s all about the turkey dinner

    Best wishes to all, and remember to save room for desert ;)

    And please do not forget to keep in your thoughts all those who are in harm's way around this world, including those here in our country...in law enforcement and firefighters. For without their selfless sacrifices all our lives would be far less safe. Merry Christmas everyone!

    We have turkey for Thanksgiving.... Tradition at my Mom's house, where I'll be in about 6-7 hours, is for me to cut up a huge loin and grill filet mignon on the grill.... But you see first I will need to dig out the grill from under 2 feet of icy snow.... Then the freezing rain is suppose to start later today so my sister, who by tradition always hangs out with me while I cook, has already volunteered to hold the umbrella while I cook. But we will (hopefully) have ALL the family there plus a few strays whose families are so far away they couldn't hook up. That's the fun part.... Making someone you've never met feel like a part of the family so they have a good X-Mas.... At the very least... A good story. (And if I have anything to do with it... A funny story!)

    I haven't been posting lately as I have been busy working, shipping, chopping, splitting, stacking, shoveling and aching..... Then all over again.

    I will be back again more full time next week!

    Merry Xmas to my great Panny friends :)

    I hope everybody has a wonderful day spending time with there family & friends. Remember what today is all about.

    As well, I would like to thank everyone here for helping me throughout the past year. The knowledge I gain from you guys is never ending. The kindness that we all share among each other is something to treasure. There is not too many places on the net where it's so pleasing to be like this place.

    Just my luck......My wife got me a new SD card like the one I just bought. I didn't have the heart to tell her though ;)

    Happy Holidays kids.
    For everyone you don't know what to get, get them a Toughbook. Addiction loves company. The first post of this thread reminds me of the comic who said everyone driving slower than you is an a--hole and everyone driving faster than you is a d*nm maniac.

    Don't gift wrap a live cat and keep the squirrels out of the Christmas tree.
    Spend time with the ones you love and forgive the ones you don't love.
    Merry Christmas to all

    Forgive the one's you don't love, and the one's you do love but don't have good relationships with! :)

    Merry Xmas to all. May we all realize how truly blessed we all are.

    Happy Xmas and Merry New Years Conus and Oconus. I thought this was about to be a "post pics of your Toughbook making snow angles" or something.

    If you know a person that is serving in the Armed Forces; tell them Thanks.

    Ask them what the hardest item, for them to get, is . Then send them some.

    If there is a hospital near you for our wounded; go visit, it brings great feelings both ways.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you and yours be safe, healthy, and happy.

    After asking make sure host country customs isn't going to take it before they get it. I remember a A Bag with Hinged Handcuffs and a S&W full size millennium run knife and they were more upset about the cuffs.

    Did you have a kinky girl friend that you needed the cuffs?

    I should have given a caveat about contraband. Our mail didn't go through foreign customs.

    They were Govt. Issued and the Govt. got them back eventually.
