[fogducker III]

I thought it might be an idea to start a thread so anybody invloved in the "Secret Santa Project" can post their ill gotten gains...........:eek::wink::yes:

I must say, I am DAMN impressed, I believe I live the farthest away from just about anybody to anybody else, and I got my secret Santa present BEFORE Christmas Day!!!!!!!!!:shades:

A coupon over email is about the only way you would have gotten it before Christmas!!! That sounds nice though!! I am offshore and my wife forgot to mail it on Friday so it will be there next week. Plus the person that I got lives a long way away from me!!!:wink:

If the "Apprehension Team" had an accent I think I know what happened..............:yes:

[Carl C]

This is SO cool! I love this plaque that Zelatore hand made with SS Donzi letters. He enclosed a letter describing how he made it and why it wasn't exactly perfect. Well, my friend, I think it IS perfect and that I was lucky that you drew my name. Thank you, Don. A homemade gift by a Donzi bro. That is the best. I will probably hang it in the cabin which has a nautical theme. Here are pics, even Jojo aproves!:yes: BTW, it arrived a couple days ago but I spent the week at the cabin in northern Michigan. Hung out at the Glennie Tavern New Years Eve. Oh yeah, it came with a nautical theme Christmas card too. I am lucky.

Just a little edit to note that Don custom routered a piece of teak, varnished it and secured the SS letters with 4200. This thing would be sweet in the cabin of a larger Donzi. I will find a good location for it somewhere.

[McGary911]

I got mine a couple of days ago, but just had a chance to post now. Whoever my secret santa is....you did quite fine.

I just moved in to a new house a couple of months back, and can always use something to hang on the wall. This will do just fine. Thanks again. :wink:

[Carl C]

Has anyone else received their gift? I mailed a package 11 days ago.

[txtaz]

Still waiting on mine. I will notify the sender when I receive it.

Da Taz

[zelatore]

Nothing to report here. But assuming it goes to the home address I only check it on the weekends so it could be there already...

[mike o]

Got my addy late. My gift on its way down south to Dixie.:shades: Good things come to those that wait.........:wink:

[CHACHI]

Santa made his delivery between 7PM last night and 6AM this morning.

A Mercury racing gear bag. With all the stowage on a 22, it is a welcomed addition.

Thank you,

Ken

[mike o]

I received my gift from SILVERBACK this week..... Folks - R - gunna - need -a - pair - of - new - sun - glass....:shades::shades::shades:. Cause my boat gunna.... shine - shine - shine..... with my leverage polish.... Thank you. Mr. SILVER BACK

[Donziweasel]

I was sick but finally sent mine today.:)

Damn, you guys all gave boat gifts, I don't have a boat place in 300 miles....:bonk: I had a prop laying around though....LOL

Oh well, sent a little something with a little Jackson Hole flavor. No, it is not elk or edible.:bonk::wink:

[Donziweasel]

I hope Don draws me next year, that is a hell of a nice plaque and gift. Nice job.:)

No problem!! I love that stuff and if anybody has not tried it yet they are shortchanging themselves!! I have tried every product and they all work great!! Sorry to give you a gift that is going to put you to work but it will be worth it!!

[zelatore]

My gift arrived late yesterday but I didn't see the box until this morning. I think the secratery may have been trying to hold on to it for herself since it was clearly valuable.

I'll post a pic of it in use on my carver this evening around dinner time in the morning when I get to the office. But in the mean time I can say it "works like magic" and it's "perfect for barbeques, boating, golfing, parties, trips to the beach and more!". :)

[zelatore]

If this doesn't make you picture the 50's, nothing will!

Pretty cool! They'll live on the Carver instead of the Donzi as I've got a little more room there. :wink:

Thank you Mr. Poodle!

[zelatore]

The Original - Since 1946 Baby!

[mike o]

Looks like y-r breaking them in with a Guinness.:wink:

[Team Jefe]

Got my santa gift today and can't find my camera. I too got some leverage...will be my first try.

and I got some "yankee BBQ sauce" from my adopted state of New Hampshire (Winnie Bandits Forever)....aka "Pure Maple Syrup"

Just imagine....Cajun Spiced Maple syrup glazed boudin stuffed Pork Loin at AOTH.:yes:

I sure hope Santa is going to be there:crossfing:

[Team Jefe]

Don, teh tumblers are nice. Got a pair at the Hometown rally....really first rate.

[Carl C]

I sent a package to a far away, snowy place 16 days ago. Hopefully the weather is just holding it up but it will be replaced if need be. Santa will have some 'splaining to do though. :(

[Donziweasel]

I sent mine, but haven't received anything yet. Mine went to sunny Florida.

You know something John, your gift was PERFECT!!

The jacket is AWESOME!!

Living in S. Florida, you take comfort in the fact that the temps are usually warm, and because of that, I haven't bought myself a jacket like this,... well, since I was in the Navy lol :eek::)

So,... I didn't have one! Also, it will be perfect for the early morning runs on the boat (when it's done), or when I'm hanging outside shooting the breeze while working on the boat! And, contrary to popular belief, we do get some chilly mornings and evening here. In fact, we're getting ready for lows into the mid to high 40's, and I spend quite a bit of time outside.

Again, many thanks, a PERFECT gift,... and with the local flavor, heck, maybe I'll even get a chance to have a run-away vacation with Cari sometime up to your neck of the woods :yes:

Thanks again, I hope you and BooBoo are doing well.

Wayne

Removable sleeves and all :yes::pimp:

[Donziweasel]

Glad you like it Wayne. Poodle helped me with the size and it looks like a good fit. I see you already figured out is unzips into a vest. I know you probably won't have many days where you can use it, but I am sure it is chilly, especailly on the water, occasionally. Plus, if you ever come visit, and we hope you do, you will look like a local! Merry Christmas, even if it is a little late.

While on the subject, the member who drew me sent his package and it may have been lost in the mail. It was the thought that counts and I want to thank him for the effort. Sorry it got lost, just send me two gifts next year! It's all good.:)

[MOP]

Don't feel bad mine is lost to but all things will end well!

I still have to get something for my brother too. New pm sent. If it was undeliverable it should have been returned. It did have a return addy on it.

[Donzi Kat]

Nice gifts guys:cool: I wish i had signed up for the secret santa:frown:

[Tony]

Don, reading some Clive Cussler, I see...maybe a Dirk Pitt adventure?!

I'll keep that in mind amigo. One must preactive one's technique:kingme:

too bad about Rita..its been too long since I've see Winnie. If you run into Woodsy have him call me....He never answers his phone.

thanks again.

[zelatore]

:beer:
That one is The Sea Hunters II. But I've read most of his stuff at one time or another. It's not exactly Great Literature or anything but it's entertaining and sure beats the reality crap on TV.

Michele calls his stuff 'man smut' because of the way Dirk gets to have all his toys, a steady relationship with the girl in DC and still gets to mess around 'on the job', and then miraculously his two kids turn up fully grown so he doesn't have to raise them but yet they just happen to be into exactly the same things he is so they can pall around.

Michele may have a point.

I guess that mine got lost too!! Or Santa doesn't think that I was good this year!

BTW...How do you know that they sent it if it is lost in the mail???

[SilverBack]

Don't feel bad mine is lost to but all things will end well!

Phil


How do you know that yours is lost??? I hope that one of us was not on poodles list...that tuna is going to be ripe by now!!!!:shocking:

[Carl C]

If people didn't get their gifts then we need to find out what happened. I am presently working with DonziWeasel (John) to find out what happened to the package I sent him. If it was stolen from the mail then I will send something else. I already have something in mind.

Mop (Phil) says he did not receive a package. Did anyone send him one?

Silverback also says that he didn't receive a package. Can anyone verify that one was sent to him?

We're not talking about big bucks here but how would you feel if you mailed a gift and received nothing?:frown:

[SilverBack]

Any word??????

[Donziweasel]

Well, Carl was given my correct address, but no one told him you have to send it UPS, Fed ex or DHL. All USPS goes to PO Box, others go to the physical address given Carl. He sent it USPS. It is in Jackson in a pile of 700 other packages sent to physical addresses through the USPS. The Post office said it would probably find it this week and will deliver it to my PO box now that they have it. It was not Carl's fault, no one told him to send it UPS or FED Ex. Carl, thanks for the gift, I am sure it will show up next week.:)

Next year I think we need to contact Scot and PM our addresses and correct method of shipment.

I wonder if HM forgot to give out some names??

[Donziweasel]

Carl, thank you very much for the lifejacket coozies, little lifejackets and boat bag! Great gifts, thank you very much.:) Showed up today.

[Carl C]

Carl, thank you very much for the lifejacket coozies, little lifejackets and boat bag! Great gifts, thank you very much.:) Showed up today. You're welcome. What a relief, finally done with Christmas :). Hopefully the other "ungifted" members can get things sorted out.
