There was a bit of holiday gift exchanging going on around here and I figured I’d share the haul with you guys. (Or “Y’all”, if you’re of that ilk.)
- This required me to actually go to the website to figure out what the hell it was. It thought it was a fleece-lined jockstrap of some sort.
- If I ever get time to read, I’ll probably spend an entire night reading this and this.
And that was really about it. The older I get, the less I’m concerned with getting gifts…although, naturally, I do enjoy them.
Santa didn’t bring me a slightly-drunk and self-destructive Jennifer Lawrence this year, but, hey, a man’s reach should exceed his grasp else what’s a restraining order for? I’ll get over it…eventually. (For those keeping track, Jennifer Lawrence replaces my old celebrity crush/stalking traget of Angelina Jolie who is looking more and more like the trans version of Sekletor.)
One thing I need to jump on, sooner rather than later, is planning the goals for 2022.
And, sadly, these goals are not going to be helped out by the looming “Hey I know a guy who wants to sell…” opportunity that landed in my lap today. It may be nothing, or it may have some life to it, but the phrase “Pallet of loose .50 BMG ammo” was used. Could be interesting. Definitely be expensive. Of more interest were the pictures I saw of the stacks and stacks of ammo cans of 250 round belts of .308 w/ tracer. Uhm…yeah…might be buying that.
be careful. i smell a trap.
J-law can’t keep her mouth shut when she’s sober. Getting her when she’s “slightly drunk”… You’d be praying for the end of the world.
Santa is your new best friend in this regard. A fresh bottle of Chivas Regal and a thank you card are in order.
If you do act on that pallet of ‘loose’ ammunition, you will prob. need to closely check for pulled bullets and reloaded rounds, which are not uncommon among .50BMG offerings. Avoid yellow-tipped Dominican .50, if it is offered. Otherwise factory sealed and/or and loaded are all good to go. You will eventually reach that point and age where you will be gifting others and trading your stocks to those that might need them and/or for barter….ask me how I know, I think the saying goes….redclay7
redclay7 is absolutely correct on all counts.
we call those yellow tiped Dominican rounds ‘grenades’ in my circles.
You can never have too much ammo, RAM or $. Unless you are trying to swim or on fire. No pallets of ammo, but I did get some .450 BM, a shop manual for the jeep and a gift card to the local cop shop. Other stuff was nice but not prepping related. I gave a PCC in 45, a “pistol” in 5.56 and a Ruger takedown 22, so I did my part for the prepping of others.
There you go again. I can’t even find used guns in my area. Wallies hasn’t had a box of anything in like forever. But there is a sign that says you are limited to two boxes of each caliber or gauge. More stupidity from the marketers.
