Birthday 2008 Wish List
Much as it pains me to admit it, my birthday is coming up soon, so I’ve put together a last-minute birthday wishlist for my family.
Shooting Stuff
- Range Bag — NB: Luci technically owes me this bag, seeing as how she put a few 5.56mm rounds through my old one
- Aerosol degreaser
Computer Stuff
- Canned Air
- A new mouse for my laptop. It needs to be small and portable. I prefer corded since there are no batteries to replace, and I further prefer the sort that coil up the cord with a spring, like the one I have, only not a fragile piece of shit. Optical only, of course.
Bike stuff
- A fender for my front tire so I can ride in the rain without getting a mudbath. I have a 26″ mountain bike. I think something like this will work.
Amazon Stuff
Geeky Kitsch
- Browncoat T-shirt, XL
- Zombie Repellant T-shirt, XL
Misc
Happy Birthday
Today is the 27th anniversary of the beginning of my life, in the Blackmun sense of the word ‘life’. It’s been fun so far; hopefully it continues to be.
No big plans for this, The Actual Day, though this weekend I’ll have the few remaining family left in the region over to my place for some KFC and cheesecake. I can’t even go to the range for some celebratory fire, since this being a Tuesday it closes at 5PM for kiddie swim.
I’m not sure what I’ll get for myself. I’ve been eying a new Rock River Arms mid-length M4, but now that I have a decent collection of guns I’d much rather spend that money on training if only there was some decent training options that didn’t involve flying to Nevada. Anyway, we’ll see. I’ll think of something.
