It is my Birthday today, 02/11/2006.
I have received my best birthday gift ever.
My Beautiful wife, Christine, bought me a boat.
Carribean Sandpiper half cabin, 15' 6", Canopy, 1996 40hp merc (370 hours), fish finder, stereo, radio, Nav lights, all white, on a trailer and all licensed.
I am stunned and just a little excited. I may get it by the weekend or early next week at the latest.
Chris had a devious plan. Over the last 3 or 4 months I have repaired, reformatted or installed software on computers for her friends at work, and their friends, at no charge other than some parts(with only slight cursing on my part). Unbeknown to me all had got quotes from shops and then paid Chris half of their quote price which she used as a deposit. Chris financed the remainder and has to pay the princely sum of $12.00 per week for 24 months or $1248 including interest. She will not tell me how much it was but similar boats in the same yard are around $4500.
Apart from hand made gifts from my Daughter I have never received a better present.
So what is your best or most memorable gift? Monetary value is irrelevant.
