I like to visit my favorite internet airsoft dealer and putting to the shopping cart what I'd want to have someday. Yesterday I thought about buying a MP5k PDW replica. The gun itself costs about 280$ (including battery, I have three chargers so I don't need another one), but I'd like to have it made silent. Silencer (sound suppressor), silent set of cylinder and piston heads, tight nozzle, spring guide with bearings, motor with ball bearings, helical gears -- the same set I mentioned few days ago.
All the gear I'd like to buy costs about 650$. That's not the money I have on me all the time. Though if two of my coleagues paid me back the cash they owe me, I'd be almost able to buy it. But I don't like spending my savings -- I have better goals for saving money. I'll need to repaint my car next spring / summer, buying another replica is not the most important goal. :)
This semester I got scholarship from foundation "Power Engineering For It's Own And Future Good" (that's probably not the way it should be translated, but makes sense and shows what the foundation is about), a bit less then 100$ a month for five months. But I promised my girlfriend that I'll keep the money and spend it when I move from home to live with her. So I can't use this cash to buy anything in the next few years.
The only way for me to get money pretty fast is to get myself a job. Working is very distant idea for me, I'd prefer not working for my entire life, rather have some passive source of income. But in this circumstances I must find something... :)
I'll probably change my mind long before I will earn the money I need, so then I'll have to find some way of spending it. But that's better than knowing how to spend and not having the money. ;)

Every government has it's idiot(s)...
Our minister of national defence (something like secretary of defense in U.S.) decided that no non-soldier is allowed to wear polish military clothing. This way my field jacket mark 93 is no longer legal and I can't wear it in public, since I'm not a soldier. Now it's only a rag, though it costed me more than 30$.
There seems to be a good solution to that nonsense -- to alter that jacket a bit. Removing one or two pockets (I don't use all three pockets on the sleeves so two of them will probably be removed) and / or changing buttons to a different colored ones will make it just an ordinary jacket, that doesn't comply to "field jacket mark 93" description.
Our army sell much surplus clothing very cheap. Now they will have to do it even cheaper, who will buy a rag for more than 1$?

Some cool airsoft stuff to buy
Yesterday I went through website of best polish airsoft replicas / stuff supplier. I was looking for parts that'd allow my M15 Classic Army replica to shoot silent, e.g. silencer, helical gears, engine with ball bearings, precise barrel and "quiet" piston / cylinder heads. The set I'd like to buy costs about 300$. I paid for my gun about 220$, so I believe I won't buy that set in near future.
Unless my AdSense revenue will grow faster than I am afraid it'll do.
