The class 3 dealer opens at 10, i have a feeling i will be waiting at the door before it opens :) oh yeah i got some socks and pjs. I am not one for gifts, i give a lot, but i never want anything.

I got a lump of coal. :'(

A healthy wife who is healing well after being field dressed and reassembled with just the good parts.
Twelve weeks today, and it keeps getting better.

Good News. Hoping she continues on the healing path.

As for me, an Emerson Gentleman Jim knife.

The pleasure of watching the grandkids tear into a huge stack of gifts compliments of my wife and daughter!

I got a 20 rd mag for my px4. Funny how this little metal box with a spring could make a felon if I took across a state line.
-
Me? Just a box to store all my gun cleaning stuff and bouncing self-healing target.
My youngest son, however, got a used Remington 514 I bought at a charity auction for the family of Marty Kolodziej of Accuracy Speaks.
-
I got some racer back tank tops for the gym I've been looking for for a long time,nice sweat pants,1.75 litre bottle of jack daniels,axe body wash,movie tickets and lotto scratch off tickets,now I just have to heal up from major back surgery I had a week ago to use my new gym clothes.I also got the go ahead from my wife to purchase a half case of ammo for my AR next month.

One year's house payments vs. ammunition
Nice trade Daverz ;)
-
i think a case of 556 would pay off my house. the price of ammo has really made a huge dent in my shooting. not too long ago a box of 45 acp was $10 and so was a brick of 22s. no longer :( a range trip is an easy $100 now. if not more.
-
I got a nice range case for my AR (I refuse to call it a "tactical case")....... Got a new study Bible and some books I've wanted plus various other items like boots and some Dremel tool accessory kits that I asked for.
Having served as a pallbearer at a life-long family friend and neighbor's funeral less than a week ago, and the fact that he was only 52, put things into clear perspective......
I was just thankful and happy to have my family here and healthy for Christmas....that was my biggest gift of all.
**EDIT**
I just used an Amazon gift card to order an aluminum 4-rail handguard with rubber covers, a single-point sling, and a set of aluminum flip up sights for my AR......cost me a whopping .78 cents total. :D
-
My gift to myself was 3 new books in the last month. I'm starting the last one tonight. I spent Christmas Eve at my mom's house. That was gift enough for me.
-
I got a nice wireless weather station and a few other odds and ends.
I got little Odin a toy MP5. I figured that they aren't going to be selling toy guns much longer the way things are going, so I'd better get it for him now, even though he's only 2.
I'm thinking 5 is a proper age for his first .22 depending on his maturity.

5 DVD's.
The first season of Hogan's Hero's. ;D

Bunny got me a nifty little gadget called a FitBit.
It is essentially a smart pedometer. It hangs on my shirt and logs the number of steps I take during a 24-hour period, the number of calories I burn, the distance I walk, and more. I can input any food I eat and water I drink to get a more precise reading.
And it all updates on my smart phone with graphs and stuff to keep me motivated about my training.
See, the thing is I hit the gym 5 or 6 days each week working out with weights, and three days adding in 45 minutes of treadmill, and I then rationalize an extra bit of dessert or a second serving at dinner because I have burned off so many calories. Then I am totally mystified about why my weight loss program isn't working as well as I'd like.
This holiday season I've managed to gain 6 lbs. that I neither want nor need. Most of that has been taters and gravy, cookies, several types of cake, and copious amounts of adult beverages. All those foods are mostly gone, now and we're on the road back to "normal" eating.
Last night, Bunny and I just trashed two boxes of assorted chocolates after mutually deciding they weren't worth the calories. See, I can resist almost anything except temptation.
I'm hoping this little gadget will assist in getting me back started in the other direction.

I got a pretty cool grumpy cat shirt.
-
My wife got me Phil Robertson's book Happy.. Happy.. Happy and Si's book Si-ology.
Looking forward to some good reading between reloading batches of 9mm this winter. ;D
-
Almost forgot .. Santa dropped a Glock gen.4 23 off too. ;D
-
Got a pretty good fever, complete with a fever blister that doesn't like being shaved, some sort of respiratory infection, and not a soul to hand me the remote when I whimpered.. :-\

you too? I have been coughing up all kinds of green and yellow junk. still not made it to the class 3 dealer.
-
I hawked up a greenie yesterday that probably could have walked away had I not immediately washed it down the shower drain.
Santa Me picked up a Vortex Strikefire red dot on Sunday. Between gift cards and returns to the sacred store of testosterone and last stronghold of manliness known as Mills Fleet Farm, I had $175 in store credit to pick something out.
Now I just have to figure out how to get it sighted in. I've never used a scope of any kind before, so this should be interesting.

Ask that in another thread and you will get over a mile of answers. ;D

the easy way is to shot a group, but the rifle back on point of aim and move the cross hairs to the centrer of the group. a vice makes this easy, another person works too.

Thanks much. I don't think anyone makes things more simple than Larry Potterfield. I wish I had half of the firearms knowledge that he had in his little finger.
