I came real close, but don’t need one, and I’ve been bad enough
Just think of it as "early" retirement presents ... You sure "earned" them!!!
Danger for me is I now have "unlimited" shooting/reloading budget and whatever catches my eyes, I can just get without thinking twice (Like, life is short and we all die and stuff kicks in and all bets are off) ... but things can get out of hand quite quick ... Like in thousands of dollars quick ...

I mean, I have even got to the point where when I see some real good deals/clearances, I go ... "Hmmmm, these would make really great 'Pay It Forward' (PIF) gifts" and I end up buying the entire shelf or shopping cart full ... Oh yes, they even had to get an extra cart for me to do "santa claus" thing to unsuspecting victims.
And things will really get exciting when I can access my 401K funds ... Oh my (I already told my wife that whatever my 401K fund earns that month, we HAVE TO blow the entire gain, especially by PIF means and wife has been "practicing" ... Paying for unsuspecting diners, especially vets, watching anonymously from the parking lot and elderly grocery shoppers surprised by manager showing up to pay for their shopping ... makes my wife smile

So my Black Friday spending was focused on "at the range" reloading for portable 0.1 gr incremental powder work up of 62/69/75 gr .223 loads (Beta testing for Lee Precision came in real handy for Hand Press, Deluxe PPM stand and Deluxe APP primer pocket swager purchase) with Mr. Buddy Heater to stay toasty in the minivan for 50 yard 22LR/100 yard .223 accuracy testing/reloadng regardless rain or shine (I already got tri-fold 5" mattress/chair for comfy prone shooting for rainy days and table/round stool for sunny/foggy days).
