Hey Colin - I think Santa needs an Itinerant visit to show him how to properly adjust the drum brakes on his sleigh!

Hey, I just had a random thought .... maybe next year you could do a bay bus rendition of Santa's sleigh....put it on a coffee mug or sumpin'. I would buy one or two.

To answer the original post...other than visiting with family and friends, I will be insulating my garage door so my heater doesn't constantly run, and checking the E39 to find out where it's leaking oil. I suspect it's a rear main seal, but hoping it's a valve cover gasket.

Oh yeah, and framing up some interior walls in the basement....I've got a deadline to meet to have it completed.

Sounds busy. E39 with the M50TU or the M60?

Made it but now I remember why I hate driving at night in the snow. Lookout Pass sucked!!! Snow mixed with heavy fog made it impossible tosee.

Iris, 7 lb, 14 oz., arrived at 3am MST today (Christmas). Esmé, the 5.5 year-old, is a little discombobulated by this severe disruption of regularly scheduled Xmas morning activities.
