Life Intrudes.

Remember my long-range rifle? The one I bought back in NOVEMBER? I've got it back from refinishing, and I have a scope base for it, but I have yet to purchase a scope for it.

Glass is expensive.

I thought I was at the point where I could afford to drop some fairly serious cash on one, but I need new glasses for my Eyeball Mk. I's, so I had my (bi-)annual eye exam today. (BTW, my eyes SUCK.)

My new glasses cost as much as a decent scope.

All I've got to say is, when they come in they'd better be 4.5-14X and have a mill-dot reticle!

(My eyes have finally returned from being fully dialated, so I can actually read the screen now.)
