Our Christmas tree was fairly small this year (9-10 feet).
However, it was large enough to put my present under ...

No ... I had a pretty good sized hammer when Lars was here,
but it started to crack the handle after wedging a bunch of firewood.
The yellow handled replacement is a 2pound blackmith hammer.

Family comments on the new wheels ... yes four of them with
Goodyear F1 runflats and only a few months of gentle use since new:

Wife: Those look really NICE !! (unexpected)
11YO son: Why are you gonna take off the ORIGINAL wheels ?!?! (He'll come around)
