Last weekend at the local funshow, I purchased a cheap 20 - 60 power NcStar Spotting scope for $50 bucks and change. It came with Bipod, Carrying case and a laser aiming device. Now, I knew when I bought it that a laser on a spotting scope are about as useful as tits on a tailgate, but what the hell, the price was right. So last night I am messing around with thing. All the lights out, bouncing the beam off mirrors, making smoke to see the beam...all the stuff all men do when they get this type of toy. But, true to fashion, I got bored. So I decided to go OUTSIDE!!! I bounced the beam off of my car, the neighbors house, trees, telephone pols etc. But when I bounced it off of the reflectors on my truck....WHOA!!!! It lit up like the 4th of July!!! COOL!!! Then I began to look for more reflective surfaces. Green street signs were ok, yellow dead end sign...pretty cool, but when I hit the Red Stop Sign on the corner......you wouldn't believe the display it put out. The entire sign lit up like the space shuttle! The little red beam caused this thing to glow and throw red beams of light everywhere! The neighbors came out and were duly impressed! Thats all....I am just a kid at heart! |
Quite possibly the most fun I've ever had while sitting on the couch, years ago, was watching a roomate's 2 kittens chase the red dot around the house. |

I was playing around with my laser keychain and my puppy last night. He is a hyper 7 month old lab. Except I got scared he would chew or dig a hole in the carpet later looking for it, so I stopped and did something else with him. He had more fun with it than the cat, and that's saying a lot. |
