Yep...

An 8 piece S&K 3/8 extension set. From 1-1/2 to 24 inch extensions.

Not the biggest or most expensive present, but I love nice tools.

Oh, and a gift card from Northern. They have a workbench on sale,
half rubber topped, half steel topped, 2 drawers and 3000 lbs
capacity. If they have one in stock, it'll be in my shop today.

This was from my kids.

That's cool. :)

Nice camera. Isn't that called a
point-n-fiddle-n-measure-n-tweak-n-shoot? :-)

Reminds me of a friend back in my college days who was attending the
Art Institute of Atlanta, taking photography. For a class project, he
checked out two 4x5 view cameras, in their big, heavy cases, and a
large, heavy tripod. We hiked those cameras about a mile upstream
somewhere in northern GA to some falls, and set them up in the middle
of the stream to photograph the falls. Managed to do it without
dropping anything into the water.

That broke me from ever ever wanting anything bigger than a 35mm SLR.
