I got some smalls: a coffee mug that says "Papa, the man, the myth, legend"; a gel seat cushion for my car (don't know why on earth my wife thought I wanted one, but I'll not look a gift horse in the mouth); a box of assorted tool bits for my Dremel; a bag of high-test dark roasted coffee beans; some hard root beer flavored candy, and enough money to (eventually) buy a Ruger 10.22 Takedown AND a Kel-Tec Sub-2000 which followed me home yesterday.

Edited to add...... I also got a slice of AndyC's homemade biltong, which is quite delicious. I'll have to try making some.

Ruger American Rifle in .308 which gave me all the centerfire calibers of the American in non magnum rifles, until I opened the email from Ruger announcing the 6mm. Want the .338 Win-mag next and then will see about the rest of the magnum rifles.

My wife knew I'd want a handgun but she didn't know which one. Her solution was a $600 gift card. I've been wanting to add a j-frame to my collection for a while now since all of my EDC's are semi autos so I got a shiny new S&W 642, holster, speed loaders, and ammo.

1) socks
2) lump of coal
3) note from the EPA that they're going to be investigating me during 2017 for damaging the environment with (1) & (2)

Always good to spend time with the family and friends; plus take a little time off from work.

DeWalt Cordless Drill (2 batteries and charger included) also quite a few bits and attachments (Honey-do list item)
A 12-year old bottle of single malt Scotch - (pickling my liver I think.)
Bowling accessories (towels, glove, resurfacing pads) - (improving my game average I hope)
A 30-round PMAG for my 5.56mm
A little bit of fold-over money (always nice to get)

.30-30 Marlin 336W and 60 rounds of ammo
(This model had a %50 rebate offer - a bonus) Just need a sling for it and I'm good to go.

Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year!
