Nothing except the following items?

1. XM weather for my Lowrance 2000c (According to Lowrance, this is
supposedly "in the works" and "to be ready to roll out at Sun N Fun '06")

Is this official? I have been holding up upgrading to the 2000c
awaiting XM weather capability. Appoach plates display will be another
nice item to have.

2. A new faceplate for my Narco CP-136M audio panel (yes, I'm STILL looking
for one...)

If the faceplate is plastic, you can repair it yourself. We
repaired all the interior cracks in our Cardinal with ABS plastic
(Royalite is ABS plastic) and cement then spray-painted with SEM vinyl
paint. The panels looked almost like new (one has to look real hard to
find the repaired area).

3. A DVD recorder that will let me quickly and easily transfer 15 years of
home movies onto DVD....

You must have flying movies to include this item in your
aviation-related wish list ;-)
The DVD recorder is easy to operate but extremely limited. I
transferred all old home movies and tapes to DVD using a video capture
card (for something like $20 with nice video editing software - just
got another card for another pc for free after rebate). The software
allows me to mix slide show with movies with editing, music addition
etc. or just straight converting avi, mpeg files to DVD file format.
For the last two years, I have been sending these DVDs as Christmas
presents showing both old and new movies and pictures which are greatly
enjoyed by recipients.

Can you add to the list? What do *you* want for Christmas?

Good health!

Are you attempting to hijack this aviation related thread Larry? Shame
on you... :^)

I'm merely following up a followup.

You like aviation GPS? How about a car GPS? Nice to push a button in a
faraway town and get "nearest Insert your fav Resturants". Turn by
turn instructions on where to drive the courtesy car.

I use mine all the time. Got one made by Energizer for $13. It has a one red
LED and two white (not at the same time of course). Petzl makes them as well
but at over twice the price and you can't even angle the beam. Bought mine
at Target.

A must for any pilot who flies at night IMO.

One gizmo that our eldest daughter and her husband gave me a while back is
a
LED head-band flashlight, which is very comfortable to wear under the
headset. Should the lighting fail at night, it provides excellent
illumination on the panel. It is also a very convenient hands-free light
for refueling our C172 in the dark. Highly recommended.

Happy Holidays!

As usual, that's the question I'm hearing from relatives. Also as
usual,
I have no friggin' clue what to tell them -- I need nothing.

Therefore, it's time to open the topic up to the opinions of this
newsgroup. What do *you* want for Xmas this year? What's the latest,
greatest, coolest, must-have aviation thing that I should want under my
tree this year?

I'll list a few things that I'm not likely to receive, just to get the
ball rolling:

1. XM weather for my Lowrance 2000c (According to Lowrance, this is
supposedly "in the works" and "to be ready to roll out at Sun N Fun
'06")

2. A new faceplate for my Narco CP-136M audio panel (yes, I'm STILL
looking for one...)

3. A DVD recorder that will let me quickly and easily transfer 15 years
of
home movies onto DVD....

Can you add to the list? What do *you* want for Christmas?

For enough AMU's, you can find my Ercoupe in your driveway.... :-)

This year my family is going to meet all the in-laws at Grandma's
(Scottsdale, AZ) and the guest of honor will be my son, Michael, home for
his first Christmas with family since going active duty with the Navy in
2002.

My parents ran away from home again this year to Phoenix. My brother and his
family and I are flying down there in January to celebrate Christmas
together. I've celebrated Christmas late a few times now. It gives me a few
more shopping days. :-)
