Not a purchase but I won this today from Triple J Armory in The Springs!
Ruger 10/22 MagPul MOE stock with threaded barrel.
They raffled off 7 firearms and you got the place your ticket in the ammo can for the firearm of your choice.
Just got called today to do the BGC. So I went down there and while I was there I decided to pick up the new Ruger RXM handgun.
It is a true Festivus Miracle today!
I picked up a nice computer for $130 - and added a sweet 1/2T M.2 drive.
It even has wifi built in.
The hardware is one of the newer CM5 - Raspberry PI systems, only 4 gig of ram. However,
this photo does not show the m.2 drive I picked up from Crucible. I could not find
the 8 gig available which would have made it a perfect little portable machine running
at full speed. I picked up the basic hardware from Spark Fun just outside of Denver.
On the install I went with the power CPU cooler, and removed the case fan. I am
running with the default speed on the M.2 drive. I can get a bit more performance
with a minor configuration file change.
I picked up a second one; dropped the wifi to reduce cost and it works pretty good.
My intended use was to upgrade my old DNS/DHCP server. I nixed that when I found
out that the hardware I was using was just fine, I had a firmware update to my routers
caused some 3 - 4 latency hit, which looked like issues with the raspberry pi hardware.
I was able to fix the latency issue, with a firewall config change. If I read the bug
report from the router folks; yep - we have a fix in beta that should fix the problem. The
firewall rule changes were pretty cut and paste between machines to make sure
all the hardware was safe.
So it works well right now browsing web pages, playing tunes, works ok running the
open source office. Another fine use, is as a eBook reader. Mostly from Amazon via
the browser, or calibre software.
Until this generation of hardware for the Raspberry PI, getting and M.2 drive working with
the Raspberry - made it a bit more expensive than I would have liked. I could have found
a low end throw away Intel NUC computers could have been cheaper...

New bike.
My "new" 2023 Tundra CrewMax Limited with 10,750 miles on it! Perfect for our needs because we just bought a Lance model 1985 travel trailer. This thing is freaking awesome. I had no idea what a 3.4L V6 with twin turbos could do. I hope they don't arrest me and haul me off to jail.
I had the retractable running boards installed.

Sadly, I will be selling my trusty 2003 Tundra which has never broken down on me, and which I wouldn't hesitate to drive to Anchorage AK tomorrow.

Bought this bad boy last week at Murdochs.
I’m out at the NRA Whittington Center in NM for a few days testing her out…………she’s fun!
Doing plenty of shooting to.
Congratulations, Sir! That new green tundra looks amazing! Good luck with the sale of your trusty ‘03!Quote:

On Tuesday afternoon, I brought home a new-to-us Lance model 1985 travel trailer to go with the new-to-us Tundra.
One of our first trips will be to Castle Valley along the Colorado River northeast of Moab.
