    Christmas gift ideas

    the family is after me for gift ideas for Christmas. While I like the t-shirts with Model A's, there are only so many one can wear.

    as for tools, I have the basic wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, etc, although nothing specific to a Model A other than the wrenches for gas gauge removal

    so let me ask for ideas. What would you want in the area of tools, accessories or just about anything if you were good this year?

    Since we had all the winds a few weeks back, it kinda tore up the cover on my easy-up and they don't support that type/style anymore, I asked for a new canopy from Sam's Club. Cheaper than sleezy-up by far.

    See, I don't have a tree or garage space to use for auto work.

    About 10-15 years ago, my family was bugging me for Christmas gift ideas. I started to earnestly think about it. I realized that a LOT of the stuff I got for gifts, I really didn’t need or want. I pretty much know what I need or want and I prefer to make my own purchases - thereby assuring I would get the right thing.
    — so where does this leave the gift giver?
    A very simple request that I have made ever since —
    “Feed God’s children”. Please make a donation - in your own name - to either The Salvation Army or a local Food Shelf. Just let me know you did that and that is all I want. Any physical gifts I get from anyone are subject to being given away or donated.
    My family, for the most part, has respected my request ever since.
    I don’t get a cheap chinese ratchet set or rubber screwdrivers - God’s kids get fed. Win-Win!

    Bill, what does your Carriage House look like ? I was trying to find where my AA came from this summer and ran across this carriage house, which was converted into a Model T & A shop in the 30's-60's. It rests in S.E. Minnesota hill country and the 1/2 population meant there was a pregnant woman living in town at that time. I just had to ask Pat

      Now see,THAT would be worth the re-purposing the wood, or just movin it into the backyard. I'm sure your spare unused space is measured in acres, where mine is in inches, and I'm on a corner lot!!

      Luckier than that, I got rid of the mower and mama pays for a "mow, blow, and goer" to take care of the back yard. When we were under severe drought, I turned off the front yard sprinklers and turned it into a wasteland/dust bowl. I have been thinking about bringing in a truckload of green rocks and calling it a lawn, but I don't have the funds for it.

    I made a personalised calendar for my husband years ago. Something that looks like the calendars you would see in a garage but not quite (I hope you get my drift), more tactful. And it's a real hit with his friends as well, but he doesn't admit it.

      Maybe an original 28 ccpu windshield frame in great shape from Santa !!! I was good once this year, that I can recall, and that's twice a good as last year. P.S.- I would trade that for forgiveness from Carla-cards if she was so inclined. Tactful I'm not !! Merry Christmas to all of you on VFF and a Great New Year.. pAAt
