It was a good holiday for the r-pod.  Santa brought an upgrade for the fantastic fan,  a new shower head, a cover, an electric heater and some other little goodies.  Big smile

What did you get?

Our RP-177 got a 22" flat screen on a pivoting mount, and a Dish Tailgater satellite receiver/antenna system.

I would love to post pix of the whole system, but I'm still trying to figure out how.Embarrassed

Here's a link to the Tailgater system:  http://www.getthetailgater.com

There's also a new Sony DVD player.

The Audiovox system went away to make room.  I was not a big fan anyhow.Angry

Santa forgot about our Pod when he left the presents this year.  You guys got some good stuff, though!

A new pod - great gift.  We bought our pod in August.  Linda said it was my birthday present.

I forgot to mention that we also got a coleman 'directors chair' from santa.  I didn't like it at first but used it for several hours while photographing birds and it's growing on me.

Dar has often told me that if I don't get up and do something while camping the chair is going to grow on me.  I thought she was joking!

I got a book, FOIL COOKERY by Lori Herrod. It is mostly camp cooking, a lot of neat ideas in there. I acutally have been cooking on the coals in our fireplace. There just is not any better baked potato than one poked full of holes, rubbed in extra virgin olive oil, rolled in sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, twice rolled in foil and put on hot coals. turn every 15 minutes for a total of 45 minutes. when opened the potato steams and is cooked fully through and has the best flavor ever. I have also done Elk burgers with fresh chopped red onion, and chick 1/4 ers. I still have a lot to learn, but you can make pots, skillets, etc from foil. Happy Poddin and Happy Cookin.

Ok, I lied.  Not intentionally.  We drove past a Gander Mountain last week and had to stop in to browse around.  Walked out with two new anti-gravity chairs.  We bought our original 2 right when anti-gravity chairs were just coming out and we have used the heck out of them over the last ~10 years.  It was time for some new ones.

dsmiths- elk burgers and campfire potatoes - yum, what time is dinner.  I'll bring the beer.

Doug - those chairs look comfortable but kind of pricey.  I've looked at the $60 version but they had lots of plastic and seemed 'cheap'.

We bought cheaper versions for presents last Christmas, I couldn't resist and opened a box to give it a test sit.  Didn't like the comfort level much, and it did feel cheap.  Came to the conclusion that its one of those things you need to try in person first - and pay the money for - for the comfort.  We splurged on the ones we bought 10+ years ago and never regretted it, we spent 20 minutes deciding on the ones we just bought, and now I'm sure that in 10 more years I'll do it again.  I've spent entire vacations planted in my old chair so an extra $30, $40 is worth it.

I guess that makes me a chair snob.
