Warm Weather===Paintball Tourney

[rawhide]

Geez,

 

It was only 80 here today and no snow darn. But there is paintball on the horizon. Big tourney in Huntington Beach this weekend. Be there be square.

 

I am too old and fat to play but I can still watch. I like to watch. Did I just say that outloud?

It was in the high 80's last week down here. Man you talk about some great weather! It's going to be up in the 70's again this week! Although it's still Texas, you can't beat the weather down here!

We had rain here last week with snow in the higher elevations. Had to keep my paintball gun undercover to keep it warm and dry. They don't work much like real weapons. Can't take much moisture especially in the barrel, way to much loss of accuracy with a wet barrel. My only experience with Texas weather was basic training in San Antonio. Summertime freakin' hot and humid worse than Nebraska. Got blisters doing pushups on asphalt. Somewhere in a federal file somewhere are my fingerprints with small blank spots in the middle of each print from the blisters.

Lackland or Medina? Mine was Lackland, drilling in the rain in 48 degrees.

Lackland 30 second barracks. If they caught fire you had 30 seconds to get out. No a/c how barbaric Went there 5 days after HS grad night. Low draft number and all. I had joined in February so I wouldn't get a draft notice. cluck cluck.

Ah, the memories - the Lackland latern, demerits, drilling. Can't say I miss any of it...
