We left on the 26th and went to a cabin in the Blue Ridge area with the entire family (11 of us). Somewhat of a nice 3 days all together but with enough space you could have time to yourself occasionally.
Here's the highlight of Christmas.

On top is Kuhnhausen's shop manual on S&W revolvers. So much stuff about pivot pin taper and bolsters and other technical details of these revolvers. All written from his experience. Really cool, about how to fix certain problems and where to expect wear.
Next is Supica's 4th Edition of THE Standard Catalog of S&W.
And last is Jefferson Bourbon, Special Reserve rumored to have been a left behind cask from the previous distillery owner. Oh so smooth. Wait, wait, there's more. I ended up with two "special reserve" bottles and 2 regular. Should last until the spring.
Happy New Year all. <clink>
