Christmas presents?

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/25/2012, 08:03 AM

So what did the reefing Santa bring everyone? I got lucky this year and got a fragging station for my fish closet (mostly because my wife is grossed out when I frag on the kitchen island, lol). Anyways here is my new fragging station, lets see what everyone else got

suicideissleep · 12/25/2012, 08:11 AM

Nice next time you have a place to bust open oysters would be better to stab the wood top

I also have a glove you can't cut your self while wearing it you want it?

suicideissleep · 12/25/2012, 08:12 AM

Also how did your wife hide that

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/25/2012, 08:32 AM

Thanks Ron. Not sure how or where my wife hid it but I didn't look for it so it could have been anywhere. It has a stainless steel for easier cleaning too. After last night I think I will just buy food, lol. At least for now anyways

bryan06107 · 12/25/2012, 09:36 AM

Santa brought me 2 maxspect razor led's. Not even sure how she figured out what LEDs to buy? She said she knew I wanted led's and she narrowed it down to acan prizm or razors based on looks alone. Now time to hang them!

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/25/2012, 10:08 AM

Very cool! Can't wait to see the pics

limey1955 · 12/25/2012, 11:14 AM

Nice Bob, is there a spot for a first aid kit lol!!!

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/25/2012, 11:16 AM

Definitely! I'm also gonna put in a phone line so I can call 911, lmao

Pallobi · 12/25/2012, 11:45 AM

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/25/2012, 11:53 AM

saltychick · 12/25/2012, 06:43 PM

Well Collin got me an led fixture but Santa messed with my car. And it will be out of commission for a few days. :/ was stuck for about an hour waiting for AAA this morning

Collinrb · 12/25/2012, 07:54 PM

Santa brought me an Apex! He also got me a wireless webcam. So I will have a live feed of the tank going. Saltychick got me a fragging kit which will soon be put to good use. She also got me a new PS3 controller with clownfish on it. Twas a reefy christmas for me this year!

brutuscz · 12/25/2012, 08:48 PM

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/26/2012, 03:06 AM

Very cool everyone, except for Saltychicks car that part sucks.

Tweaked · 12/26/2012, 06:07 AM

Had the ok from the wife last week to buy a new tank. Was getting the the Monterey DD 120 with top and bottom for 2200. Had everything measured and even lined up some trucks to pick the items up and changed my mind last minute. Bought my wife an awesome jeep wrangler. Peace of mind not worrying about her was the better move.

Captainfester · 12/26/2012, 06:35 AM

its not exactly for the tank but its gonna end up in there im sure.... my wife got me one of those new gopro hero 3 cameras

What model/year?

muppet · 12/26/2012, 08:52 AM

I didn't get anything reef related (my wife isn't that brave, lol) but my wife did manage to do some serious bargain shopping and get me a really sweet stainless steel Citizen Eco-Drive watch for less than half price and stay within our gift budget which was certainly not enough for such a watch under ordinary circumstances. I've had my eye on Citizen Eco-Drive watches for like 10 years, but could never justify the purchase. I'm pretty ecstatic.

I just have to bring it to a jeweler to get the band adjusted. I told her "Thanks a lot, like I wanted homework for Christmas." :-P :-)

Sounds like the right move man. Since we know your wife is into reefing anyway, I'm thinking that gesture may pay itself off 2 fold in years to come

BubbaBoBobBrain · 12/26/2012, 11:41 AM

Nice Muppet. Those are incredible watches.

Tweaked, definitely a smooth move on your part ;-)

Jack, I know nothing about cameras but I'm sure it's an awesome 1
