YAY!!!!

Glad to see ya drop in 'Bug.

Stuck training a tech. Be back in a bit.

ADD: SO its good to see you are wel. 'Bug. Get to worrying about our Cali BC's because of the usual dry conditions and smokey tendancies. We're pretty much in the inland cloud of the burning state and so feeling your pain on that.

Training yet another Youth Technician here at work. Gets to the point where I don't even want to get to know them, figure they won't last long anyways, and happen to be generally annoyed by their presence. Is that wrong?

Okay, mulling over the rebuild in mind for my SP8 before the Oroville shoot in August before D*C. I bought another marker at an incredibly cheap price to take its place until then. Selling a smaller marker and starting maintenence on two others (SARA JANE and the unnamed SP1) also. Planning on another marker that isn't released to the public until September.

Now I truly understand how the beginning of the BDM applies to me as I justified a few hundred dollars in parts and hours of labor and testing.
It popped in as "All I have is two hands but I like to leave my options open".

CLICK! Took about half an hour longer for it to sink in completely enough. Ridiculous it is. Five markers to one guy who can only use one at a time and thinking of one more to add to the arsenal. Considering a launcher build and possible assault vehicle in the next year or so.

How sick is that? I might even be hired out soon to one or two of the teams in town, seriously.

Mercenary? Yup. It's already been discussed.

Too bad I'm not a bigger fan of grenades.

Hmmm...

Hi Rugbug!! Haven't seen you posting on here in a long time. You need to stop in more often. Your employers can't expect you to work all the time can they?

Work went from boring to annoying. Now I'm once again fumbling around trying to figure out how some stuff worked because the person who used to do it left and never told anyone. Such fun. *mumble grumble*

I've though of stuff like that but came up with others. Seems the scenario in Oroville has a theme of Battle of the Spandex: A rockband War. The team has chosen the side of Twisted Sisters and I'm looking for props to use. I might even get brave and enter the field sans a marker. The last scenatio the were approved to use black wiffle ball bats with Stalker Paintball painted on them. Several guys scored multiple kills with the bats. I'm thikin' tagging people with a Wally World kiddie guitar might be cool.

If used properly they work quite well.

Can't wait to get home. Got some small stuff to work on and some nothing to do. Then dinner and sleep. I never knew how grateful I could be with all that.

Got to do a prevention activity with the kids this afternoon. Felt good to sit around talking with them.

Yay, Rugbug returneth and all... proceeding.

The burning state, yeah it was a surreal experience for me when I, residing presently in one of the most polluted cities in the nation, read on the news that a health advisory warning was being issued for all of California NORTH of bakersfield. It's just a strange strange irony, that.

Good morning!

It is pretty much the stste of things here every year. This year is a little worse than the last but at least it keeps the sunlight down a bit.

*Sigh* See, this is why I don't make it around these parts much anymore. I can't stand the disappointment of only 5 posts is 24 hours. I should be proactive and come up with something fun and/or controversial to discuss...but I'm tapped out. I'm like a toddler demanding to be entertained. At least I don't hit, like MSB's combative charge. :D
