Santa is polling us for the most popular items. His elves are all tooled up. Let the list begin!

Brooks saddle for my hybrid.
Fairing for my recumbent.
Another set of DiNotte lights.
Nah, I'm not greedy

Looks like an old time traditional Christmas this year. A visit with family and hope everyone gets a lump of coal for the fire so we'll be warm.

You Know!? For Kids!
With employment worries and such, Christmas is gonna be pretty much kids only this year at our place, so no new gadgets will be brought by Santa for me.

So far I see:
Garmin 705
Brooks saddle
Garmin 605
Lump of coal
MTB crankset
Whole bike
Fenix L2D
Erector set . . .
Only 3 out of those items appear bike-related and none of those are specific. If you all are not more clear I'll just drop coupons for inner tubes in your stockings and save my elves a lot of work.

Starting next Monday (11/17) the Costco coupon book has a $9 off coupon for an Eneloop package: 8AA, 2AAA, 4 each C and D size adapters, and a smart charger. I have no idea what the cost will be, but I bet it's a deal!

I got the same ad from Costco, but noticed every coupon in the mailer was only valid at the new store they're opening that's about 45 minutes away from me. That ended my desire to go check those out.

Shimano's new DURA-ACE 7900 set with electronic shifter. That will be a late Christmas present, as this doesn't come out till Jan. 1.

Sorry, the elves vacation in the Bahamas for a couple weeks after the Big Push. You'll have to depend on other sources anyway.
