edit to add - should have kept reading down the list! Now if there was only a 20rd clip for the PSL! The terminal ballistics are better than a 30.06 and the recoil is very minimal. You'll be able to buy stock piles of 54R ammo at a bargain - just be sure to clean it OFTEN if you'll be using the corrosive primed ammo. |
My GF got me a few things for Christmas...
working keychain turbocharger Grado sr-60i headphones x-fi sound card rovk band 3 nose hair trimmer wallet lots of clothes Im posting this from the kindle 3g that I bought her. :bigtu: |
Fiancee and her family got me:
Citizen EcoDrive Watch Pioneer Surround Sound Receiver Voodoo 36" Tactical Gun Case 2 Magpul 5.56 30-rd Mags Jack Daniels w/ 2 Glasses XBox Chatpad Stanley Tool Boxes MSM Engine Mounts Box Chain Bracelet |
Was a pretty good christmas for myself, i got:
Brake pads (axxis ultimates) GPS (I get lost alot) Jump Box Some really nice clothes Trip to NYC Managed to track down some miata parts at the salvage yard as well, treated myself. Overall another excellent year |
My father in law bought me a pencil sharpener (and 15 pencils) that hooks to a drill.
My mother in law bought me a large see through plastic bank with a picture of Elvis on it that looks like a guitar and is full of popcorn. My wife bought me a Audrey Hepburn calendar and a calender with pictures of guitars on it. No, I am not making any of this up and these were the only presents I got. |
I got a broken-down dryer, (the thermal 'fuses' went out) and a rootball in the sewer system at my mom's place, resulting in a rather spectacular back-up! Whee!
On the up-side, I ate a lot and went to many parties! I'm a happy one! |
I was really surprised as I usually don't get (or request) jack.
Day before Christmas wife snuck out and next time I came in from garage I noticed she had thrown something under the tree. http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/pub...AUGkgsiJZ1pwMe Wireless headphones so I can stay up late watching stuff without disturbing them. I'm a bit of a night owl, but don't ever plop down in front of the TV before 9pm since I stay moving taking care of things around the house or garage, playing with daughter, or enjoying cooking most of the evening. Invariably as soon as I get interested in a show my wife and daughter decide to go to bed. Most of the time I'll follow suit, but for the times I don't these are super nice. I'm a deaf bastard, and hate how most movies seen to have incredibly loud action sequences followed by hushed dialogue....just can't stand it. Now I can enjoy actually knowing what's going on. Wish I had them that night I caught "Lost in Translation". I didn't have the foggiest fucking clue what was going on in that movie...but was afraid to turn it up and have my wife come out wondering why I was watching Scarlett Johansson in her panties. |
Stomach flu On Christmas eve and Christmas day. How awesome is that?
I get myself Christmas presents all year anyway. Got an MS2 daughtercard, forged connecting rods, Gran Turismo 5 and COD Black Ops. I just gave them to myself early because I really like me. |
Flu for me right after Xmas also. Made its rounds through the entire family over 2 weeks... ugh.
Got a Dewalt Drill/Sawzall set Few tools/gift cards Wife got me a picture of a Hutchins Hybrid as a future gift to me :) Also gave me permission to go ahead and pick up a range pistol. Ruger MKII here I come :) |

My gf ended up loving everything I got her, so that was a relief. She said she was torn between getting me a laptop or an ipad but didnt know what I'd rather have or use more often, so she passed on both. She ended up getting me a couple small things and a pretty badass telescope instead. I had mentioned to her before that I always wanted one of my own, but would never buy one and never asked for one as a kid. She remembered and hooked me up. :) I keep telling her I'm a fucking scientist now and I'm going to find the next planet. lol
From my one brother and sister in law I got cash, and the other set got me a iTunes card and a marijuana desktop calendar. :laugh: We usually focus on the kids because that's what Christmas is really about. Seeing that there's 6 of them between the ages of 9-15 its pretty loud and crazy. My dad was a little unsure about the projector and screen when he saw it. I only had it temporarily setup for him and it wasn't lined up and positioned right for the room, so I don't think he knew what to expect. Now that everything is mounted and hooked up my mom says he watches a blu-ray every night. I'm happy he has something to look forward to and enjoy now after working in the freezing cold all day. Here's a daytime and nighttime shot of GT5 on the screen. |

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...c/7d7cce26.jpg I got a couple cool radio antennas (another hobby) and a nice set of speakers (Boston Acoustics Pro60SE's) for the miata. Friends tell me I shouldn't have a radio in such a car but my autocross times always got better with Motorhead cranked up to ear bleed levels. |
