December 25, 20231 yr Got the DMN hard bound Rangers WS book, some WS Champions dress socks and some other cool little items.
December 25, 20231 yr Funniest thing I got was a fucking ultrasonic denture cleaner. No, I don't wear dentures. But a month ago I got my first dental mouth guard to wear at night & prevent me from grinding my teeth when I sleep. Apparently I picked up that habit later in life since, you know, stress and shit. So Mrs GOTJ got one over on me when I unwrapped that box. Oh, I've got 12 months to come up with a suitable gift as a retort.

December 25, 20231 yr Popular Post I got a good one this year. I was extremely close to my grandfather growing up. He passed away with cancer my freshman year at UT. So, last night, my mom hands me a USB stick. Plug it in. It's all the home movies and pictures that he took from his time in the PTO during WWII until a few years after I was born. There are videos of trips to Yellowstone with my mom, his war buddies, etc... from the 50's. There are videos of me as a 3-year old at Lake Brownwood and Pioneer Town which is/was apparently in Wimberley. Really cool stuff as both a historian and one who wholeheartedly delves in nostalgia.
December 26, 20231 yr I got a Johnnie-O t-shirt with a little longhorn on the pocket. Just in time for Sugar Bowl. Low key.

December 26, 20231 yr Only thing I wanted was some Rangers championship gear since I didn't wanna pay the over-inflated prices for it 2 months ago. Wife hooked that up. Got the usual knick-knack stuff from the in-laws who are pretty good at finding little stuff like that that I like. Several bars of Squatch soap which smells really fucking good and my BIL swears is the last soap I'll ever buy. Lots of Bomba socks.
December 26, 20231 yr Goldbelly gift certificate, anyone have a suggestion on what to order? I was thinking Chicago deep dish pizza maybe.

December 26, 20231 yr You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner f***in' year at the old NWBuck family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny." Seriously... I asked the family to not buy anything for me; we have enough 'stuff' and there are lots of opportunities to spend money on people who are in need instead. So my (art student) daughter made me a painting, and the youngest wrote me a letter. The wife purchased tickets for us for a concert... that's on Super Bowl Sunday. Ah well...

December 26, 20231 yr Popular Post My stepmom has talent. She wove “Starry Night” from my late father’s shirts and presented me with this to hang in the house I bought on Friday.
December 26, 20231 yr 5 shirts, only 3 of them are exactly the same, a few gift cards, a book, and a new soundbar. I couldn't bring myself to buying one since the old one still worked even if the remote was broken and couldn't link to the TV remote. All is well.

We’ve done Malnati’s through Goldbelly, never had any issues. Wife gave me this before heading down to Texas, it only plays selected scenes…
December 26, 20231 yr My kids got me an Xbox Series X. My wife got me a pair of Blundstone boots. That’s all I got.

A couple of years ago, I got this as a gift and it turned out to be better than the one I mentioned above. Long story short, when my daughter was born, there was a chance she wasn't mine. Didn't matter. I was there when she was born, so she was mine. I went through a 5 year custody battle while working 2 jobs ~ 75 hours a week. Ok, enough with the sob story. Anyway, I did the 23 and me. When you go to your dashboard, they have a link that shows DNA matches as a percent. So, your closest relative would be a 99%+ match, with your 3rd cousin a much lower percentage. First one I see at the very top is my daughter. 99.9%. It wouldn't have made a difference, but it was something I always wondered.
December 26, 20231 yr I got nothing, just as I hoped. Actually, a case of beer, which I can use. The GF and I agree that we'd rather spend on travel rather than gifts, so that's what we do.

We also spent $5-6K for a long weekend in Mammoth, which was awesome. Great skiing even though the snow was terrible. Maybe because this was the first year the entire family could ski together (albeit slowly).
