Another spin around the sun.....

.
I'm in the mood to buy myself a birthday present.

Someone.... talk me down. Toys are SO expensive, and money is SO tight.

DaddyBear said...: Happy Birthday! And yeah, treat yourself to an exercise in turning fiat money into tangible assets.; October 22, 2011 at 8:46 AM
Borepatch said...: Happy birthday!

Maybe some old mil-surp in need of some TLC? That would be charp, and give you a project. ;-); October 22, 2011 at 9:41 AM
Suz said...: Happy Birthday!

Toys/tools. It's such a thin line...

btw, are you still tracking WWP donations? If so, I have two more receipts for you.; October 22, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Carteach0 said...: Suz, There is another Wounded Warrior fund raiser scheduled to come up here in a week or so. Send me your receipts then, and you'll be in the drawing!

Thir said...: Hey, we share a birthday! Congratulations on completing another solar orbit.

I would try to talk you out of that M&P 15-22 but, I broke down and bought one myself this summer. Nice weapon and 22LR is still cheap to shoot. I don't have a good argument to talk you off the ledge here.

Happy Birthday!; October 22, 2011 at 2:44 PM
Hat Trick said...: Happy Birthday!

As DaddyBear says pickup a tangible asset rather than holding the fiat money.; October 22, 2011 at 3:47 PM

If it were me, I'd go for one of the Romanian Tokarevs, or maybe a Swedish Ljungman, but I'm weird.

Old NFO said...: Hell, buy it... It's YOUR birthday, you can do anything you want :-); October 22, 2011 at 9:25 PM
Murphy's Law said...: If it was MY birthday, I'd want you to buy ME one. So I suppose that it's only fair that you buy yourself one. And Happy Birthday.; October 23, 2011 at 12:03 PM

Carteach0 said...: Well friends... my 'Birthday present shopping' ended up with me acquiring a new cell phone for Princess. Needs must, and she needed one ASAP for business. So... while she worked, I solved problems... one of which being her lost phone.

So be it. Such is life as an adult. At least I got her a fancy top of the line thing that will do all sorts of tricks... including being a credit card machine for her business.

As for me... I haven't given up hope. There are lots of toys out there, and as time permits I'll hunt up one of my own.

Have to say... as I look at all the possibilities, my thoughts always include "Would this be a good one to write up for my readers?". That tempers the alloy a surprising amount, tossing out a lot of silliness in the process.; October 26, 2011 at 6:18 AM
Kevin Delaney said...: I wouldnt get a 22. Get the real thing if you dont already have one. I bought a cheep Smith and Wesson (well $799 cheep..)and added what i wanted. You can always get the 22 conversion kit and shoot both .223 and .22LR.

Just one mans humble opinion.; October 27, 2011 at 6:08 PM
Huey said...: belated happy birthday Carteach0! I would try and dissuade you from any birthday purchases but that would be mighty hypocritical of me....; November 15, 2011 at 3:56 PM
Carteach0 said...: Thanks Huey!; November 15, 2011 at 4:43 PM
