Okay, most people I know do it..what ya get yourself for Christmas?

[mmissile]

I generally buy myself something for Christmas. This year I bought an optic for my 7.62 carbine.
Elcan Specter DR. 1.5X6 power. It flips from 1.5 to 6 power, with lever on the lower-left side. Dual illuminated reticle[ranging and dot] and 5 illumination levels. These are used by our military snipers and special-ops units. Superb quality, and you could throw it across a parking-lot...and it'd still function. I have a couple other Elcan models. They're all super optics, made in Canada, with German glass.

I don't buy myself anything for Christmas but do get a Christmas bonus and will sometimes buy something I need. This year I bought ball bearing drawer slides for my workbenche.. 32 pairs of them! Thank goodness for Ebay, what would have cost $500-600 only cost $140 and the quality looks amazingly good.

I got a set of seven Silvolite pistons that’d been sitting on a machine shop’s shelf for many years for a huge discount compared to new. Now I just need to buy a new one to complete the set.

I'm the last one left in my family tree, so there's no one to exchange gifts to, so at the end of the year, in December time, i consider some small purchases, gifts to myself.
Got a coat rack to hang my stuff on, here in the house, a field jacket liner, a couple of different diameter flex Hones, 2 Mini Mag Light's, a mechanics creeper stool when I'm tinkering out in the garage.
And and excellent replacement drivers seat for my regular driver, (I know, I know, a 01 Accord) for only 15 bucks, at the local Pick-N-Pull, at the on sale price.
Gave out some gifts to my doctors & staff, and personal friends, and others, here, around my area.

I went all out for Christmas this year, at least that's how I substantiate spending way too much on the Cordoba, engine and driveline. What started off as a 'freshen-up', turned into a full rebuild with some long desired parts. I figured Christmas was coming.

Pictured are only 2 of the pieces I purchased. Edelbrock heads, eagle pistons and H-rods, Hughes cam-lifters-1.5 rockers, moly rings, rebuilt 727 & 3000 stall, TTi 1-7/8 polished headers, Strange chrome moly driveshaft with 1350 yokes.

As a general rule I buy things that I need and not things that I want. The one big exception is the 1970 Super Bee that I bought in 2006.
