What's under your tree?

Santa arrived a bit early at our house.

This new 2012 Dodge 3500 LB DRW Laramie was our Christmas present to ourselves, we have had it now for 3 days and just got the hitch rails installed today and the Reese 20K installed as well. We think it will look very good with the 3402RL behind it. Can you see the smile on my face.

Some specs:

GVWR – 12,300 lbs
GAWR Front – 5500 lhs
GAWR Rear – 9350 lbs
GCVWR – 25,000 lbs
Max Tow – 16,600 lbs
6RFE six speed automatic
3.73 Rear Axle ratio

Congrats on the new truck. I just bought the same rig in black on gold with the longhorn package. Had it for two weeks now and love it much more than my 2011 Ram 3500HD SRW. I look forward to hearing how your truck tows your coach.

Nice Truck, wish you many happy and trouble free adventures with it.

Nothing under our tree this year. Relocating and trying to sell our house has us a little straped this year.

Got each other new Nikon S9200's when they were on sale half price at Amazon. Have to save money this year, we're paying for a daughter and her family to fly out here and then taking them on the train to the Grand Canyon. Spending money like we had paying jobs.

WOW, That certainly must be a big tree! Congrats on the new TV, safe travels!

We keep it simple for Christmas between us so that we can help those who are less fortunate. This year as part of Soldiers Angels we adopted a family to help them out during the holiday season. To us it is about the giving more than the receiving.

Merry Christmas to all!

That's one beautiful Christmas present that will keep on giving for many years to come, but where is the bright red bow?

I bought my truck a shiney new Grover air horn. She loves it and wears it all the time. I also bought the bike a new Hypercharger air intake. She is just waiting to get it fitted.

My Christmas present came to me today. For a few days now my 5 lb Yorkie has not eaten or drank water. He only would lie in my arms and shake. The vet gave him medication and shot him up with fluids, but nothing seemed to work. I have been sleeping with him on the sofa.
This morning I was awakened and when I came to conscience Maui was by my face licking me. I picked him up and noticed he was not shaking and his eyes looked so much brighter. I took him outside where he did his business and ever since his housebreaking
training when I would reward him forgoing outside he looked at me and licked his lips
looking for a treat. I knew he was OK.
Best present I could have received.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
