    Celebrated a late Christmas today.

    Dasha was in San Diego for Christmas with a friend of her 'real' family. She came home a few days ago and is staying with eldest & natural daughter Melen at her condo in Chicago. But between my foot recovery, the lovely Mrs_Bob recovering from her eye surgery and Kobe's schedule we were unable to all get together until today.

    So we had another Christmas today. Up at 5am today, I made a brown sugar glazed ham and home made baked beans early this morning. Melen and Dasha prepared the condo, made green bean casserole and cheesy potatoes. The lovely Mrs_Bob managed to take care of Kobe, make deviled eggs and also made homemade fudge (with walnuts). So everyone pitched in and nobody had to do too much work. We were joined for the dinner by our Godson Matt and his parents. After dinner we exchanged gifts, sat around talking and eventually departed for our respective homes. Dasha staying with Melen until she returns to Notre Dame . . . date to be determined, but I'll probably drive her back sometime between Jan 10 and Jan 13th.

    Got home late this evening.

    Foster son Kobe, adopted daughter Dasha, and crabby old Bob.

    Wife is organizing the kid's play area in the basement. We have a rule, if toys come in the house, like Christmas, toys go out. We donate/give away so other kids can enjoy them ( his previous daycares, kindergarten classroom, friends with younger kids, etc.).

    I may help, but she is an organizer, so best to stay out of the way. I'm going to update my firearms spreadsheet. It's a catalog I keep with my Trust (make, model, year, serial #, paid price, current selling price). I started this a few years ago when we refinanced the house (never see rates that low ever again in my lifetime) & reworked the homeowners insurance.

    Kid and his buddy conned his buddy's mom into another sleepover. This is fine since they are going to MSI to see the U505 submarine tomorrow anyway.
    So far my New Year is kid free.
    MSI is an amazing museum. I worked there a number of years ago. They need to be prepared for it to be a mad house of visitors. This time of year was always crazy.

    :woot:

    jedi managed not to kill jedi as jedi changed the transmission fluid, gaskets, filter and cleaned the pan.
    The magnet in the pan had a little bit of stuff on it.

    Plus jedi managed not to spill the red fluid all over the place. Just a few drops here and there.

    Special thanks to darkkevin for answering some questions the old gasket and the process.

    Still dislike being under any vehicle but alas this is what happens when jedi losses the mechanic jedi went to. :(
