I think we're buying our tree this weekend, but I'll have to Photoshop the cats in because I'm sure they'll have no part in it. :lmao:

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in, fastened his seat-belt and shoulder harness, and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun.
"What's that for?" Santa asked.
The examiner winked and said, "Well, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you're going to lose an engine during take-off."

An oldie but goodie for this time of year!

Happy Holidays everyone!

I sent that around to some of the people here at the office, and had to explain it to one of the girls here. :lol:

I noticed that when Santa gets to Portland he slows way down. Now I know why.

MERRY CHRISTMAS GANG!

From the wilds of Canada. It's hard to believe, but we are having a BROWN CHRISTMAS?????? The snow melted in the last few days, but more on the way. OH well, easier to take the dog on a walk eh?

Cheers, Pete

Santa finally grew tired of Portland and left my package from Creative air on the front door step this morning. The position lights for the RV CAME!!!! YAY. I had them sent in kit form. The assembly looks dead simple.
