I wasn't very bad this year so Santa brought me a 13" Ridgid planer. Obviously I wasn't a very good boy either, the planer is pre-owned and doesn't have the best reviews but I hope it will be ok to use it here and there.

Well it's better than coal . My biggest experience with them is most people buy one too light duty for there needs . They buy the cheaper one because there only going to use it a few times . Or they expect thee machine to practically do all the work for them . Thous it gets bad reviews . Anything sold at Home depot is going to be lighter duty , knowing that don't try to do more than it it is capable of and you will be fine .

Payback from years of picking on my kids.

Everyone gets rubber worms in their stockings except the youngest, she doesn't fish, so she gets gummie worms.
The switchblade spork might come in handy in truck for pudding on days when I forget to bring a spoon.

It was the usual Christmas for us here, with my daughters coming over with their families. Exchange gifts and then eat dinner play a few games watch a little football on TV.
I'm curious wow well the battery maintainer charging system will work on four batteries.
Keep the Peace

I don't have one of those chargers. But it should be good as it looks like 4 chargers in 1. Unlike the ones I have that claim to maintain up to 4 batteries by hooking them up in parallel to the charges 1 set of wires.

Santa brought me a 4500# winch for my new-to-me trailer. And a 3-in-1 hitch ball. (You permanently mount a special stud and you can instantly install an 1 7/8", a 2" , or a 2 5/16" ball onto the stud. So you don't have to carry around 3 different hitch adapters) And a replacement Ryobi 18V hammer drill. (New old stock. NOT BRUSHLESS. I'm beginning to form the opinion that brushless tools don't hold up well in the long haul.) And a set of caliper centerline jaw adapters.
Am I the only one who's struggling harder and harder to find gift items that are both desireable and remotely affordable? I guess I have everything...
LOL

I connected the charger this morning to four tractor batteries still in the tractor that are located in an unheated area of my shop. I just went out and checked the status of the four batteries and two were fully charged and in standby mode. The other two were still charging which was understandable. I also had my wife purchase two 10' extension cables, so the charger clamp cables would reach the tractors. This causes a voltage drop and charge at a slower rate, which was explained in the instructions. I'll keep checking the charger and let you know how it is working.
Keep the Peace

@thebuildist Your not alone , most of us get to a point where the only thing we really want are the things we have not been able to afford , don't have room for , or are out of reach for some reason .
