The obnoxious "Look what I got for Christmas" thread

[seatazzz]

fwiw, that 6 glass set has been sold for many years now and actually comes with plenty of guidance on usage.
The Spousal Unit bought a set for me many years ago and they still get used...

Cheers!

My daughter gave me this set a few years ago, I still have it in the box because I don't want to break them (and currently have no space in the cabinets for them). Need to break (figuratively) them out.

Just so happened I needed to take a gravity reading on Christmas morning. This thing is fantastic.

First Christmas I didn't get anything brewing/fermenting-related in years, but it's been an odd year. Did get a case of pints from Bow & Arrow Brewing in New Mexico when my 2nd mom drove through in fromTX to visit us for Christmas.

Waiting for this gift to show up, though.

I got a lot, but the kids got me this…which I just tested. They both stood there looking at me, while covering their ears while I continued to ring, and clang and say “I don’t know why you’re just standing there….”

It was legitimately GREAT!!!

Other than the obvious it's a Red car, what is it?
Many mental guesses but they might offend if I wrote them down.

'63 Split Window?

Yes, 63 Split Window! My uncle was the original owner. He passed away a few years ago and my aunt just got it running again as a surprise for me. Her neighbor has a Ferrari that I got to also play with. It was a very, very good Christmas for me.

Wife got me a refractometer and my buddy got me a finishing gravity hydrometer, so I am pretty set!
Also, @Konadog nice 63!!!

Santa brought these and a $50 gift card to NB, grab bag Santa at the HBC holiday party gifted an 8pk from a local brewery.

The wife got me two brand new 5 gallon corny kegs to add to my collection. 2 Clear Beer floating dip tubes, and two fluid level indicator floats with magnetic beads to go with my new kegs. Not to mention two boxes of some really nice cigars! I must have been better than I thought this year!

Mrs. Claus got me a Avantco 3500 watt induction cooktop. Hoping that will boil 3 to 4 gallons more vigorously than the big gas burner on my kitchen stove.

Got to run a 240v line from my breaker box to the wall behind the kitchen stove before brew day on the first day of the year.... or is that bad luck?

I got 2 new Alchemist glasses (to replace the one a buddy cracked on 4th of July), and this awesome Heady Topper poster (which I promptly bought a frame for).

Also got a giftcard to Morebeer, and it came just in time as I cracked my 5L flask. Spent it Monday morning. Wanted to get a bucket blaster, but that'll have to wait for the next order.

I need to be more careful with glassware...
