SANTA Report
Give it up.
What did you get?
Especially if it was weapons or speed related.
Santa left me a beautiful Nightforce NXS 3.5-15X with the NPR-2 reticle.
Thanks for the help, Wes at MSTN!
When I got the box, I said, "This is the biggest Toblerone bar I have ever seen." You have to have seen an NXS box to get the joke.
Hope that Santa was equally generous to all of you.
Merry Christmas all!

bottle of Jim Beam at the company Christmas party, along with a set of Old Fashioned glasses, provided by the other token Southerner in the office (seems she was provided an alleged Mint Julep made with Canadian whisky during the Kentucky Derby and wanted to make sure i would not commit such a fox paw...)
bottle of Balvenie Doublewood 12 year old Scotch from the guys in my department...
Elite Forces by Richard M. Bennett...the book appears to be an encyclopedic description of various special ops units throughout history and in various countries....
a book on the Donner Party, which give me pause regarding the upcoming holiday meal at the in-laws (Donner Pass is on the way there),
and some jin-you-wine German haus schuh...
good year for booze, but lacking in gun powder and accessories for motorcycles...

A new mid-length carbine upper and a TA31F (thanks for the tip SeanBaker) to go on top of it. Already tested the upper but I'll have to wait for the Trijicon. Seems they're behind on deliveries and it won't ship until tomorrow(?).  Peregrino

Damn, that is bad luck.
Some days, it must really suck to be an LA lawyer.
