ZJJ Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 It may sound sappy, but my best gift was a call from someone I care about whom I couldn't be with at Christmas (no it wasn't from Rabbi). I also got some money, a gift certificate and several books to read. Now I need to decide if I want to buy COD4 and/or NFS Prostreet. I hate decisions. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WP33 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 The highlights: *A couple fine bottles of bourbon from two of my clients. Can't go wrong with Knob Creek and Maker's Mark. Also received a bottle of Johnny Walker Green from another client. *The Bourne movie collection from my brother in law *From my brother a wonderful offset serrated Shun bread knife and a new block to put all my Shun knives in (I started a collection of good kitchen knives a couple years ago) *A gift card to Barnes & Noble from the mother in law *Some (more) Chip McCormick 1911 magazines and a set of custom AlumaGrips courtesy the wife. Still waiting for the grips to show up, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dporter Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 SInce the engine went in my car I spent Christmas watching the kids open their presents. My wife spends way too much on the kids so I just went without this year. Hey papa, I'm interested to hear how you converted your dvd's to MP4's. We bought my stepdaughter the 30 gig zune for $80 and I have been messing around with a few conversion programs to put full dvd's on the zune but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? buy #1 DVD ripper. in the main interface, at the bottom you can change the output type for "zune video MPEG4(MP4)", where it says " output profile". there's a long list of formats but, "Zune video MPEG4(MP4)" is listed. then you won't have to worry about converting anything, when a movie is ripped it's ready to play! see a link of the main interface :Here download it: Here just rip your DVD and transfer it straight to your daughters Zune..

mwgfghost Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I got an XGO Flame Resistant Foliage t-shirt, 5.11 Tac ACU Tan Loose T-shirt, socks for hiking, Halloween Unrated on DVD, 3 war/military books, a barnes and noble gift card, pajama pants, a pic of my nephew, a DCU hoodie, and Mountain House Freezer Dried food packs for when I hike/camp. My faves were probably the pic of my nephew, the XGO shirt and the Barnes and Noble gift card. Already spent most of the gift card on a book by Dick Couch called Chosen Soldier about Army SF's Q-Course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA sear Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) A lot of nicknacks (socks, shirts, phone, etc...), but the one that I am enjoying the most is the one I bought. 2X-12X IOR scope. Very compact, it only measure 11". I was looking at a Schmidt Bender until I found that it measured over 14" and it only goes out to 10X. No thanks. Here is a pic of the ret. I have not mounted it yet since my rifle is not ready as of this moment. I also got an A.R.M.S. quick detach mount for my 1.5X-8X scope.
