I'm at a loss; he never wants anything.

Sincere condolences for any of you who've lost your old man.

I got mine a bunch of titanium coated drill bits because he is kind of blah on what he wants.

He’s also getting several terabytes of TV and movies for his Plex server but that is a last minute addition.

I want hookers and blow, you gigantic disappointment.

I told your momma that we should've just raised a pig instead, but she didn't listen to me. At least we'd have bacon.

I got him two books. Blood and Champagne by Alex Kershaw and Ernie Pyle’s War by James Tobin. Those should keep him busy for a week or two.

He never asks for anything and never does for himself, so I put back some money every month and got him a new Benelli SBE III. He's going to be stoked.

I got him one of the new Craftsman Brush-less 20 Volt drills from Lowe's that comes with two batteries and a charger. (They are really made by DeWalt)

I was working with him in his shop a couple of weeks ago and I notice both of his old drills chucks were stripped out so I decided then he would be getting a new drill for Christmas.

He is a farmer that also owns a small trucking operation, either his drivers are farm hands are always breaking or losing the tools in the shop so I always make it a point to get him something that he needs.

Last year I got him a tv.

This year he is getting one of those exercise machines you can sit on the couch and pedal. He is being very stubborn and resistant about exercising more(which he needs to do for his mental and physical health). Figured maybe he will at least do that.

I got him an Echo Dot and an Amazon Fire Stick. After Christmas I'll have to go over there and set it up for him. But he will get a kick out of talking to Alexa. And he's been talking about how he wants to "cut his cable bill" so we'll see if the fire stick and a couple of services gets him what he needs.
