• Gino from Valken sends his regards to everyone who wasn’t able to make it to Oklahoma D-Day this year!
• If one of my ex-wives shows up out there, tell ‘em I said wazzup.
• Then run like hell!
• Valken’s Greg Muller snuck in and passed me this note: “Valken player party at D-Day tonight. If you’re there…DON’T MISS IT!”
• A picture of the upcoming GEO 3 leaked: http://thefordreport.com/2012/06/geo-3-picture-leaked/
• Then official pictures of the GEO 3 in various color schemes started popping up on FB…I feel so manipulated.
• I bet if Ian and Ledz sent along an Atlantic GEO 3, I’d feel better…just sayin’.
• A bright red Empire E-Flex mask showed up today…I’ll have to keep it hidden from the Dark Child. She’s into red.
• Speaking of females….there’s a new female sheriff in town in the scenario world. The Bombshells are already scheduling events for the rest of this year and moving forward. Make sure you like them on FB: https://www.facebook.com/bombshellgirlz
• And no, that’s not my wife sitting on the missile.
• I asked Machine Paintball for a bright red Vapor to match the E-Flex….I think Andrew’s still laughing…
• Speaking of Andrew Spurlock, he’s going to PSP Chicago next week. Make sure you stop by and tell him I said hi!
• …which means that Will and Greg from Valken will materialize in the booth and scare the crap out of him…
• Speaking of Vapors, Mike, Jimmy, and Andrew (yes, it took all three of them to do it) took my development mule back from me and replaced it with a production Vapor. It makes me all giggly in my no-no spots…

• I heard Cyndi has the hook up if you’re looking to shoot GI Sportz paint at the PSP next week. cyndi@procapsdirect.com to see what it takes.
• Funny. To this day I still haven’t actually shot anything from GI Sportz. I bet if Barno liked me, he’d send some for me to try…
• Probably just as well, because Potter would beat me like a bongo drum if I shot something other than Valken…

  Be free to reach Loic Voulot (Energy Paintball Sales Director) in Chicago, he will play with Grad in D1 and be able to show the product !!”

• Ian Stella King Pinchen tells me that Tippmann stepped up to put Crossovers in the hands of the Scottish Warriors. Those guys with those quick little guns in their hands….sounds like yet another reason Ashley and I need to make a trip across the pond for a Shoreline event…

• This week my mother in law, AKA The Almighty Madam Hagfish had surgery. For most people it’s not a major thing, but The Almighty Madam Hagfish is not in good health, so needless to say it’s been a stressful week for Ashley and I. The good news is that Gwen (her real name) came through the surgery just fine, and the docs didn’t see any other issues while they were poking around on her innards. Thanks to all who gave their prayers and positive thoughts.
