[RC10racer89]

Well I all I'm getting this year is my trip to hawaii for the pacific basin music festival in the spring paid for by mom and dad. Its awsome since the trip is required by the top leval instrumental groups in my area, and I don't have to pay for it! I does kinda suck that I won't really get anything for my B-day either, but I'm not complaining too much. Most of the kids in my area are working their butts off just to pay half.

Ew, an FX5200, lol. If youre gaming you are gonna want to upgrade that. Nice PC otherwise.



Anyways, I got a kitten(http://img159.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img159&image=kitten0225ae.jpg), $1000, then $105 in EBgames gifts certificates, Star Wars Battlefront for PC, $50 in BestBuy gift certificates, and some other stuff I havent opened, will do that in the morning.


The question is, what do I spend that $1k on?

Pretty much gonna buy whatever I want once I get more $$. Thinking of getting an nitro Monster truck, while kinda debating which one to get. Already know which 3 I', looking at and gonna pick between the 3...Monster GT, Savage SS, Smaxx. I'll be happy with which ever one I get. Also for a later Xmas gift, gonna buy some new gear for my 8th scale buggy: one piece exhaust, alum shoes w/ 1.1 springs, diff oils, spare parts, andmaybe a new engine. I still have a gift here under the tree and waiting for my sister and bro in law to wake up so we can open them. it's really chilly up here in Stratford, CT. Colder than Port chester I think. :) Merry Christmas all!

Well worth it.

[bufferoo]

Well they didn't come on Christmas...my wife forgot to put them under the tree so I got them on the 28th. I now have 2 nice pairs of Masher 2000s. We were doing the last little bit of clean up and my wife found a wrapped box and started to blush. It seems in the rush to get everything hidden she ran out of space and put them in a totally different closet. They got left behind.

Kind of a nice surprise if you ask me. Never thought she paid any attention to my RC. Who'da thunk that my wife would know what a MAsher 200 was or where to find it? Turns out she even knows where the LHS is. :D

Add those to my new bandsaw, drills (yep I got 2 of them), intel 915GAGL board and P4 530 cpu I did way better than I had hoped for.

Bufferoo
