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.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

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.

Looking forward to some good reading between reloading batches of 9mm this winter.  ;D

There is room for all of God's creatures ....., That would be on my plate right next to the taters and gravy.

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..  :-\
