Well Christmas was more or less good to me this year. I bought myself a DVD for the workshop, a Napoleonic Wars memoir, and a cousin of mine gifted me a copy, gift wrapped and all of
Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence by Heros Von Borcke, only issue with that last gift, is its the EXACT same copy I loaned him 6 or 7 years ago! Can't complain though, I've been wanting to re-read it for a good while.

Also, not CW but I am proud of it, while the cousins were scrapping vehicles my mechanic grandad had laying around, instead of scrapping his old pride and joy 1949 Ford pickup, (in BAD need of restoration, its really a labor of love at this point), due to my constant yearning to see it restored, my grandmother, and at the insistence of a cousin, I was informed I'm the new owner of it a couple weeks before Christmas, so I'll count it as a Christmas present as well.
Only problem is it torpedo's my plans at casting a bronze Tredegar MR in the near future. One must manage their projects after all.
