- I’d heard some rumors about some personnel additions at Machine, but my Minions haven’t reported back from Mobile, Alabama and Tainan City, Taiwan yet. I have my doubts they’ll be seen again…
- RAP4 is having a Mag Fed challenge at Camp Pendleton this weekend.
- Over on the east coast of Georgia, there’s been HUGE changes at LCP. Those coming to the game in October are in for a bit of a shock, as Billy, Bubba and the crew over there have cleared trees, set up new bunkers, and overall changed how the field is going to play completely. Http://www.lcpscenariogames.com to keep up.

- Event #4 is coming up in just one week for the RPL.
- Back in my old stomping grounds in Tampa, Alternative Sports is coming up on their 2nd anniversary at their Dale Mabry Highway shop, and they’re looking to celebrate. http://alternative-sports.com/ to check it out.

- This evening while I was writing the Report, my daughter walked in, and in the manner of 3 year olds, draped herself over her mother and asked her what she thought about. My wife, being the amazing woman that she is, tells The Dark Child that she thinks about how much she loves her and “Furby” (which of course, is me). The Darkness then relates to her mother that she sits around thinking about the paintball field. I believe she’ll go Pro by the time she’s 10. Hopefully Machine Paintball will push the Palm Beach Vipers into going Pro by then, because she insists on using her mother’s Black/Purple Vapor.
