1. I’ll be heading up to First Strike Paintball in Newberry, Florida this weekend to participate in a scenario game there. I’ll be killing for Acara and Sideshow.
2. The NCPA Tournament happened last weekend out at Central Florida Paintball, and I was out there along with my security consultant for a meeting with Mike Phillips and Willie Galarza about some upcoming project. Mike was his usual self, but Willie was being overly difficult, refusing to talk to me until he got his Ford Report “Minion” shirt.
3. Fortunately for me, the next batch of Minion shirts arrived today.
4. As an added bonus I got to hang out with Frank “Light Fighting Vehicle” Connell for a bit.
5. …then he went off and coached Purdue’s college team to victory! Congrats to both Frank and Purdue!
