Come on Christmas!

Folks,
A few weeks ago, I posted of the purchase of my new Sub-C. I bought it, had it sized, and handed it over to the wife until Christmas morning. I have recently convinced her that I should "throughly inspect" it before Christsmas morning, because of the 30 day return policy. I know, I know, but heck it worked! So here it is, all I have until Dec 25th! This photo and a fond memory!

Maybe celebrate Christmas this year from a "pretend" place where Christmas comes one day earlier than in Georgia?
