I got lucky. My work needed a certified welder, and gave me a free ride to go to the local tech college to get my welding and general fab degree. Free Jeep skills. I started on an old Lincoln stick when I was younger. Im about halfway through with my degree, and im certified in SMAW(stick), GMAW(mig) FCAW(flux) and im working on my GTAW(tig). Now that im taking these courses, I can't believe I didnt do it sooner. Its pretty cool, and the best part is no student loans.
Back on topic, I got: 2 boxes of .45 ammo, Samsung 50" smart led w/new stand, some camping gear for our upcoming trip to Mexico, $50 gift card at the liquor store, and a stihl weedeater(I think the wife is trying to tell me something). I also got a pair of RK front uppers which I have no Jeep to put them on. It was a good Christmas, and I got alot of things that were needed. Im just glad I dont have to sit 3ft from the tv to see who is shooting at me on call of duty. Going from a 32" to a 50" is a nice upgrade, and I re-gifted the 32" to the kids
