Life Thread v2.0

I have never bought a flagship gun.... until recently. Proud owner of a PE LV2!

Got a old buddy back into the game and he's having a ball. Also got a kid (18) that I know from AA into the game. He's absolutely hooked and I just introduced him to speedball, he really wants to play snake haha. Now looking at visiting some SoCal fields (always wanted to go to SC Village) and might even head back east once it warms up.

Getting back into paintball. Just ordered new gear to replace the expired or non functional equipment. Detrevni, I sent you a PM to see if you are still playing and in the area.

Other than that, my wife and I have been taking a hip hop dance class for over a year. It’s a fun activity to do together.

Got a onewheel, which is a blast to ride on. Also helps keep my legs ready for snowboard season.

I'm certain I mentioned it! I'll have to dig through the thread. Well, that was 2 years ago, and I'm very happy! And now, clearly, there's a little boy on the way. Naming kids is hard. :(

Whoops! Weeks!

Anyhoo, I'm back in Texas for a bit to celebrate my dad's birthday. We think we all caught it during said celebration. My wife has it, and she was worried about its effects on the baby. Doctors don't seem worried. I feel cruddy, but mostly fine. Mom and dad got it too, so far they also seem fine. My sister also got it, and she's... Delicate. She's not doing well. We're a bit worried.

My wife is 18 mo pregnant, and I got COVID. Hooray!

So I've knocked someone up. Luckily it was the bird but I might have made another English person which I'm not entirely happy about.

Welp, I'm officially playing paintball again. Ordered a PE Etha 3 M, tank, pod pack, barrel maid and some other goodies. Found out my buddy orders pallets of paint at a time for his team and will sell it at cost, so that will help a lot. Airsoft was fun, but it isn't paintball.

Why not? It was a completely unfounded opinion when it happened. The stretch of it being a "right to privacy" issue has nearly unanimously been called BS by scholars on every side of the issue. Even one of the authors for Roe said it was outright the wrong thing to hang it on.

People are pissed off at the SCOTUS on this one, but they really *shouldn't* be. Scotus looked at this, ruled on the case's merits, and found Roe to be lacking as everyone has said it was for decades.

What they SHOULD be mad at is multiple Democrat majorities and super majorities in Congress in the intervening years who failed to codify Roe into federal law. Had they done that, this would be a completely different situation.

They also need to be mad at RBG for hanging onto a seat long enough that she died under a Republican administration instead of retiring under Obama when she had a chance. But she wanted to hold on and relinquish her post under Hillary, rolled the dice, and came up short. Instead of cursing her hubris, I see countless RBG quotes and homages for a ruling she absolutely laid the groundwork for.

The shortsightedness of it all is just astounding.

For the record, I'm pro-choice.

I´ve bought me Bike ! Wink

It still feels hard because the last time i had a ride, is more than 4 years ago. Only one leg forced is also strange and hard together. Slowly i get used to it !!! Wink

I like Tippmann !!!

I need to make a pack list, for sure. Painkillers are a good call...

I'm shooting for late summer, like end of August. That would give me 4ish months to burn some of my rather excessive fat and do some altitude training as well.

If this doesn't kill me, I really want to work my way up to summiting Longs Peak, which has a bit of a reputation. But that'll be dependent on how Bierstadt goes, and maybe a few more lower level summits.
