Bike wise I got Enve bars and the last few bits to make my bike all XTR (FD, cassette). My mother in law bought me a $500 backpack.... I guess it will carry dirty bike stuff back and forth? heh
I got an XTR "trail" crank set, a XTR E2 FD, a KMC quick link chain connector, a new set of S-Works Ground Control tires, a new XTR 11-32 cassette...that's it for bike stuff.
Gore Phantom jacket
Long sleeve jersey from the LBS
LG bibs
UnderArmour thermal base layer
Shimano R087 road shoes and un-pictured 105 pedals
A new tool box
Nashbar balaclava
LG shoe covers
2 new LBS water bottles
and 3 pairs of Merino wool socks
I got a new bible with concordance...I like the updated American translation much easier to read. I wanted a GoPro 3 black edition but money is tight this year but not a big deal - I have a Hero HD and Hero 2 and if I had choice between that and a trip - I would opt for the trip anyways.
My in-laws are selling us a house/duplex on the cheap. Gave us the papers Christmas Day.
I was/am nervous about dealing with family, but that's because my family hasn't treated me well when it comes to mixing money and family. My wife's parents really are different though. Good solid people. If the numbers work out, the tenant in the other half will be paying for 95% of the mortgage.
