This morning Wifey noted that I am back to my normal self. Getting away from work and my normal routine has really helped. Also I just plain like America a lot. There it great cheap stuff all over the place. Man this country is just awesome.
Went to Walmart for the first time in about 16 months. Looked at ammo just to check it out and see what I want. They didn't have a whole lot of pistol ammo but that is really just hit or miss. The only real big suprise was that 500 round packs of .22 ammo cost $19 bucks. Think the last one I got (almost 3 years ago) was about $13. Think I will pick up another 2,500 rounds to put away. The observation from One Second After that the ammo people actually ran out of was .22 and game shot has been registering with me recently. I am getting close to warm and fuzzy stages with centerfire ammo anyway. They had 15 round packs of buck and slugs for 9 bucks. That is right at the breakover point where if you plan to purchase a few hundred rounds of the stuff then ordering from an online dealer like Lucky Gunner is the way to go.
I got a couple new pair of pants which were much needed. I don't wear civilian clothes except hanging around the house stuff very much so it is easy to all of a sudden realize I have 2 pair of pants I actually wear. Also it was just great to be at a place with all kinds of options of stuff I like and cheap prices. A real culture shock after being overseas.
Tonight we are having awesome giant steaks for dinner. Tomorrow evening is Cops which I am super excited about.
Merry Christmas,
Ryan

It's good to stock up but just to let you know here (Oregon) the stores have bulk packs for under $13 these days. Don't assume Walmart is the cheapest.
Also watch for online deals, I bought 5 cases (10X500) of Federal 510 for about $16 per 500 delivered from Wideners a while back. The 510 is about the best "bulk", it's actually in individual boxes of 50 inside the big box with each little box containing a plastic divider to hold the rounds and keep them from banging into each other, good stuff. Been shooting 1.5" groups at 100 yards with it and my CZ 452.
I know people may look down on me - so be it - my absolutely favorite gun to shoot is my .22 rifle.
LOVE IT!! One of the best farm auction purchases my Hubs has made, in my opinion ;)
