Replaced the battery today, but electrical issues remain (dim headlights until rev). Gonna round up a voltmeter tomorrow and see if I'm gonna need to yank the alternator or investigate grounds or what... New car, new problems. Would be great to make it to the E30 picnic next year, if I'm still living in the PNW. Edited by BARREL BREAK - 16 October 2014 at 2:12am |

I'm still playing paintball... Hit the field Sunday with my Tipx and A-5. Did some dual wielding and it was a blast. Here is the first game.
I've moved into another project home and have spent the summer redoing it. Flooring was a huge pain and took me way longer than I thought it would, but I did 1,000 square feet in hand scraped walnut. It looks amazing now. I have been replacing all the switches and vacationing this month... So I figured I'd play some paintball! I'm getting the new TCR as soon as it comes out, along with a bunch of the 12 round tru feed mags. Already got a second generation zeta for my Tipx and put an apex 1 tip on it with the 2011 A-5 barrel. I'm still using my MonsterSpin barrel on my A-5. It is annoying how bad field paint is around here... I realize they have to buy in bulk to get the discounts, but by the time it gets down to the lower part of the skid, the paint is horrible... Dimpled and leaking... Biggest problem with paintball is finding good paint... I'm so sick of both political parties, you'd be hard pressed to even get me to talk about them... I'm driving a 2005 Acura TSX now, gonna pass 230,000 miles this week... That's my update!

It's hard enough just typing on a 7 inch tablet so no quote but;
FE, you mentioned BOTH political parties. I didn't realize that there is two and thanks for the heads up. And your a5 maintenance video assisted me in reassembling my a5 valve. For some reason the washer and o ring came loose during dry firing. Edited by Lightningbolt - 16 October 2014 at 9:09am |

Both parties do the same thing... spend more money than they have, while always taking more money from us dumb workers who put them in office so they can rip us off more...
Glad my A-5 video helped you! I've heard from a ton of players that they really like it. I'm gonna do one for the Tipx when I get some time... That thing is a PAIN to take all the way apart!

Oh crap, FE, Impulse, and I all seem to have the same general feeling on politics? Get ready for Armageddon boys!
 Post some picks of that hand-scraped walnut goodness FE! I'd love to see that. I ♥ me some walnut. Got my el-cheapo M44 from AIM yesterday, it's a strange bird. No refurb markings, and the whole thing is matching except for the bolt. It's a nearly perfect Factory 21 bolt from China's T-53 production. That makes me think it came through Albania, which is pretty rare for M44s. It's also mainly held together by surface rust and cosmoline as the wood is beat to hell. As for shotties. I'm finding myself falling in love with O/Us these days. Used on on the sporting clays course up at Snowshoe this year, and am champing at the bit to buy a CZ "Mallard" now. |

The house I bought was ROUGH... mold in the basement, water lines in the house busted, water heater missing, floors in horrible shape... Bathrooms nasty. Vacant for over 2 years.
if your bored, I made a video before I bought it showing how bad it was to my folks... and so I could remember the room dimensions... I tore out the walls in the kitchen to make it open concept, and found cabinets used on craigslist for $900... I'll have around $25,000 fixing it up, but it will be worth it as it is in a great neighborhood in the fastest growing area of Ohio! I bought this house at auction, for WAY under market value! Here are the floors I put in. This is the most accurate lighting wise  They aren't as dark as they show in these pics    Edited by FreeEnterprise - 16 October 2014 at 7:15pm |

The flooring looks nice but it is it a floating floor? It looks cut in tight and they need room to float.

Awesome looking floors FE. Wish I had the kind of know-how to do things like that.

Looks great, especially after taking a look at the "before" video.
On a side note, if there's one thing I've learned from looking at short sales and foreclosures, there's ALWAYS a purple room.... ALWAYS.... |

FE, why didn't you film the before video with your zoom cam while it was still mounted to the A5. The lady would have loved that...

You guys are funny! I'm still in shock that my channel has blown up like it has... Paintball woodsball videos... who would have thought!
The house was scary when I got it. And the video didn't have smell so you only got part of it... haha! But, it has been fun fixing it up. I used 3/4 inch solid wood floor stapled in tongue and groove, so you can go pretty close to the wall with it, as long as you have space where the drywall is, you should be fine. Real solid wood makes your house worth more than laminate, as it is considered "permanent". And if you do the work yourself, you save a TON of money. I got this flooring for less than the cost of bamboo, so I did really well, but it still cost a ton! If I remember right, I paid $4.59 a foot for this... USAFPilot, it is REALLY easy to do wood flooring like this, it just takes forever to do. It comes in pieces, and you just lay it in a row as you go and staple it. I got my stapler from harbor freight for under $150. Did that whole area, and two of the bedrooms. I want carpet in my room... So all you need is a chop saw, and a table saw, and floor stapler. And good knee pads... Getting the first row is the key, it has to be perfect, after that, it just lays in row by row... And takes forever! haha!

It's something to easily lose count of but I've put in maybe 100 wood floors and just a quick look tells me that you're a perfectionist. It's the kind of thing that wins awards and what the industry needs. Foreclosure flips, new builds, either way quality work is fantastic to see. I just wish that I had the same drive for perfection on my own home as I did when I was involved in the industry. Still a silent partner in a very busy company.
Did you continuous run or put in thresholds in the doorways? |

They see me lurkin'.
I have an insane paintball collection, and it's still growing. Latest is a red X-Valved (yes, the valve too) R/T ULE. It's sweeeet. Too bad I don't actually play anymore. I'm also hotrodding my Bike (VTX 1300). That's proving to be fun!

If it looks like what I think it looks like, I am jealous and I want it! I think it was You Wont See Me who had a blue one and that was the sexiest gun I've ever seen and then he sold it to a friend.

I had a ULE body X-Valve with the R/T with a 90° trigger frame. Shouldn't have gotten rid of it, even if I don't play anymore.
