Good Grief...Does this madness end?

Hi, I'm Don, and I've got a problem.

I've got around 7 functioning markers, and well upwards of 15 projects. Many of them very rare. I've got a gun that cost me $1,110 stock and it's a pump pistol that shoots 10 round tubes and is run on 12g's. I just bought two more markers in as many days, and I'm paid in full for the new Tippmann SL-68 II that's coming in just about a month. I'm currently looking at Intimidators and Matrices. All in all, I've got more money tied up into paintball than my car is worth.

And you think you have problems...

	It only gets worse. One person really doesn't need as many markers as I have, but I can't help myself. Of course, there are the justifications: I have to have pumps set up for heavy (large tank and hopper) and light (small tank and hopper) use I have to have extra pumps in case other people want to play pump and don't have their own Anyway, the SL68II and Kingmann Hammer are collectors items. I can't get rid of my 3-digit serial number A5 that is still pretty much stock I have to have at least one 98 series marker Anyway, 98s make the best AK mil-sims There's more (much more) but I'm sure you get the point.

	So...My kids dragged me into woodball. Well, woodball behind our house. They have A5's and because they didn't want Dad to have the same I wound up getting the Project Salvo. Trained in the military on AR's so the feel was right. That was about two weeks ago. Now, I have already put a Cyclone feed on my PS. I am going by the local field/pro center this afternoon to get my e-grip....and am headed to a gunshow Sunday for some good iron sights and see-thru rail riser..... ....Not to mention bidding and winning a new Tippmann TPX.....or pickup up a BT-4 (really cheap) for my daughter to play in the woods with us.... Crap...I thought my real guns were addictive. Jay
