Re: what did you get yourself for x mas?

Well...I let the wife get a new computer (a nice and fast laptop one) she let me get a new interior for the ole' Baja...ordered the series 200 helm seats w/ swivels and flip-up bolsters from www.veada.com (you can choose your own color combos) and all new vinyl for the boat. Cannot wait to get the new covers back from a friend's wife that is sewing all my new patterns!!!

The wife brother got us an iPad and now I joke that the wife should return her new computer as she loves the iPad...as do the little ones!

Happy Boating!

As many of my friends here know I have had a pretty tough year this year and my purchase of a Barrett M82A1 will be postponed for a year or two, BUT I start my new Career in January and life is seriously looking up for me in 2012 so why not start it off with a BANG!! I have never shot a 50 Cal before so this will be a thrill for me!!

Anyone in Colorado want to meet me I will be here on Saturday!! http://www.barrettbrothersllc.com/

Barrett's building is about 15 minutes from my house, and I've done a couple of charity shoots with them. Got to shoot the .416 a couple of years ago, but never the .50 (no range in the area here can handle it ... even the USAF range in Tullahoma is too close to the flight line ... 1 mile). You'll love shooting the rifle, it's awesome.

I've met Ronnie Barrett a couple of times. Real nice guy.

Post pictures Lipp. I'll get a kick out of hearing how you liked shooting it.

And scored an upper and lower MC-1 outdrive.

The wife got a Kindle Fire, the youngun got a PK Arms 22 conversion kit for his Glock 21 and I got a Masterbuilt 40 inch Digital Smokehouse and a Rockem Sockem Robots game !

I'd mentioned to Donna a long time ago that I'd alway wanted one of those when I was a kid..........well I guess we never grow up.

My wife got an iphone and I got a Kokatat gortex drysuit for my winter kayaking trips. I've used it twice and it is far better than the drytop/ wetsuit combo I've been using.

Refurbished gauges for the Century. Unfortunately it's going to take another 4-6 weeks to get them back.

I haven't bought anything yet. I'm out of town for the holidays, but when I get back home I'm getting an onboard charger and power pole installed along with the stereo my father bought for my boat.

Well Mother Nature had other plans for us in Colorado yesterday, we had 100MPH+ winds yesterday and the last place I wanted to be was on the plains during a Hurricane(I didn't want to drive to Kansas to retrieve my children) so we never got to shoot, so I will just have to wait a little bit more......

it's pretty much always windy at ben lomond. but it's not a bad facility and not a bad drive from where you live. I kind of miss it, since moving up north I'm stuck at an indoor, but at least they have an indoor 100yd range.
I certainly miss the 80 some dollar a year dues.

Re: what did you get yourself for x mas?

Xmas present to myself is a movie theater with a 144" screen. Yes, a home theater, I have been slowly chipping away, custom painting the wall "screen", running all sorts of audio and video wires through the drop ceiling, and a 75' Cat5 ethernet cord. All my A/V equipment is tucked away in the closet there to the left. The most expensive part was the Epson 8350 projector which really was cheaper than the cost of a nice TV, and if you have the room definitely the way to go. See pics and vids for more info.

Ahh did they find a way around that locked down bootloader preventing you from running cusotom roms?
