Mine went pretty well.I got Dad to cook up some barbecue and make his famous BBQ sauce,then my Mom made her potato salad.Talk about a great Barbecue!

Oh ya, I got new gas lifts for the rear hatch of my cherokee(desperately needed those),the US Marine/Army counterinsurgent field manual(courtesy of my little sis),Gerber LMF2 ASEK(Now what can I do with a survival knife that can break plexiglass and is electrically insulated?Hehehe),and finally Ghost Recon(from my other little sis).

That was about it.

Well, I don't, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten one for christmas. I intend to learn though.

I do a mishmash of random stuff, potato guns just happen to be one of them.
