Food - Biscuits from a Can
on Tuesday 01 September 2009 - 10:34:22 | by CoopGreetings,
I haven't had Pillsbury Biscuits in YEARS. I mean, just pop, grease a pan, lay 'em out, bake for 8 minutes at 450 degrees, slice 'em in half, butter 'em, and enjoy. The whole tube! Hell yeah it's a shitload of calories, but it was damn tasty, and I haven't done that since I lived at my parents, lol.
It was good.

Music - 60's-70's Pop (AKA Classic Rock)
on Wednesday 22 July 2009 - 19:46:15 | by CoopGreetings,
I have found the best Youtube Channel EVER.
This guy records himself playing classic 45 vinyl. The sound is very warm, and he has a lot of songs I really like. Definitley subscribe worthy, as this 40+ song playlist isn't even half of what he has.
For any of my older friends, if you've listened to WABC AM before they went off the air in the early 80's, this stuff is right up your alley.
Enjoy! I know I am!
Here's the youtube channel, check out everything else while you're there!

Work - Working Hard or Hardly Working? You Decide.
on Sunday 05 July 2009 - 21:43:44 | by CoopGreetings,
A quick site update before we get into the goodies: I have updated the following galleries:
Gallery -> Paintball -> 2009-07-05
Gallery -> Paintball -> Markers
2009-07-05 shows Today's game.
Markers shows my complete collection, plus Kitty's A5 thrown in for good measure.
Now, as for working hard. I took (or had someone else take) the following series of movies of me at work. This is not a typical day. In fact, today was pretty abnormal given the events featured. Save each link before you view 'em to save on my bandwidth.
1. Bailey the Cat (Found out on the paintball field, missing an eye and near death) learns about Gravity
2. Coop shoots some clays on the Skeet field.
3. Coop refs a speedball game.
4. Free Lance of Delta Paintball brings his wife to play, then becomes a moving target.
5. Kevin and Bailey have a moment.
6. Coop's Pimp new ride.
Sunday the 5th was Awesome! Not only did I get work done, but I had a darn good time too!

Paintball - Added Photos & Thumbnails
on Tuesday 30 June 2009 - 20:47:12 | by CoopGreetings,
I have added a few photos of work under the Paintball section, dated 2009-06-28. I am also slowly updating the gallery thumbnails so each sub-folder has a preview pic associated with it.
I also figured it's been 3 weeks since I've posted an update, so here it is!
Hippy No More: Kitty takes Scissors to Coop's Long Beautiful Hair
on Monday 08 June 2009 - 21:48:59 | by CoopGreetings,
Well, it was bound to happen. My hair, going well below my nose, needed to be hacked. In a 2 hour session involving hedging shears, a weed whacker, and my shag carpet hair, Kitty successfully tamed the beast.
So, my barber of 23 years (been going to this guy since I was 2) decided to up and retire without getting my permission, I let my hair grow until I was able to determine a course of action. It became difficult to read books as I was constantly brushing my hair out of the way. At the paintball field, I could always be found wearing a hat just to keep my hair under control.
So, while bombing around on the John Deere Gator with my hair whipping everywhere is no longer an option, it is nice to be able to see again.
Here's the aftermath, click for a larger version:

Special thanks to Kitty for dealing with my whining about Fred the Barber.
Combat Action: Pics are up: June 7th, 2009
on Sunday 07 June 2009 - 20:51:49 | by CoopGreetings,
I have uploaded the pictures for 2009JUN07. Huge thanks to the folks that came out today, especially the Military Dad that brought his son and friends out. It looks like ya'll had a great time and I'd be happy to have you out again!

I love the players that come out to our field. Everyone is safety-conscious and with our simple Barrel Covers Off, Goggles On rule, everyone can ensure they're having a safe time without slowing down the game much. I'm looking forward to you folks coming out again, this time at 9, for some all day play!
To see the photos, click on Gallery, then click on Paintball, Then click on 2009JUN07. Browse through the thumbnails and click on each one to see a larger version. You can click next to go to the next full size photo, but if next isn't working or showing up, then you've made it to the end of the page. Simply close the current photo, click on the next page, and you can resume viewing the awesome action out at R-14 Paintball!
Multicam: Now you don't see me. Now you still don't see me.
on Saturday 06 June 2009 - 17:02:58 | by CoopGreetings,
I now own a set of Multicam camouflage. Now, so does kitty. We're dangerous now. Multicam is the best camo ever. Just look at some of the example pics here: http://www.multicampattern.com.
I'll try and get some pics up of me in the new pattern, either blending in to the paintball field, or standing out in my living room.

I should probably get some sleep...
Victory is Mine: I solved a Rubix cube.

I solved a Rubix cube. It only took me an hour. That's the first time I ever solved one on my own without plugging the colors into a computer and following the on screen instructions.
Work Antics: Paid Per Ticket
on Friday 15 May 2009 - 07:52:25 | by CoopGreetings,
During the week I work for the Technical Support Helpdesk of a major (Global) financial publication. A conversation came up about not putting in tickets for test emails, as they're just tests and not legit issues. The conversation went something like this:
Y: But yeah, if you don't get paid for every ticket you enter, then you'll start to learn that not everything that comes in is a ticket. Now, if you do get paid for every ticket you enter, DEFINITELY ticket those test emails!
Coop: Man, that'd be great if we got paid something like a commission for each ticket. I'd be writing tickets for myself: "Problem Description: User needs to go to the restroom." and "Work Log: Everything came out okay, issue closed."
*Chuckles from all*
AM: And this is why we don't get paid per ticket!
*Laughter from all*
Coop: Man, that'd be great if we got paid something like a commission for each ticket. I'd be writing tickets for myself: "Problem Description: User needs to go to the restroom." and "Work Log: Everything came out okay, issue closed."

AM: And this is why we don't get paid per ticket!
*Laughter from all*
And this is why we can't have nice things!

R-14 Paintball: Take 2: Success!
on Tuesday 12 May 2009 - 10:16:40 | by CoopGreetings,
Awesome weekend for R-14 Paintball. We had a church group on Saturday that had a blast, and our first walk-on customers on Sunday. All in all we had 13 players show up Sunday, and all had a great time!
I got a lot of useful feedback from our customers, including folks who have worked at other fields and reffed games, and every little bit helps! Everything I get from all players is taken into careful consideration.
I wanna give a special thanks to Free Lance of the Delta Paintball Team. I used to be a member and left to finish school (as money was tight back then). Free Lance showed up early on Sunday morning as the first paying customer of R-14 paintball. With nobody else there, I gave him some free paint, we chronoed some markers, toured the field, worked on some equipment, and after folks started showing up, Free Lance offered up his years of experience in reffing and helped me keep the day running fairly smoothly.
I learned some great things about the lack of capacity in our reserve air tanks and our crap compressor. I learned a great deal about balancing teams to keep it fun for everyone. I especially learned that Delta Paintball is still full of honor and integrity, and a strong willingness to promote the sport in any way possible.
Major props to Free Lance!
I have uploaded 2 galleries worth of photos under the Paintball folder, 09MAY2009 (The church group on Saturday) and 10MAY2009 (A few group shots of our first paying customers on Sunday). Lots of cool action shots on Saturday! Thanks to Kitty for playing photographer!
R-14 Paintball: A Little Rain Turns Opening Weekend into Work Opportunities
on Sunday 03 May 2009 - 18:25:42 | by CoopGreetings,
Well, for our opening weekend, we raked in exactly $0.00 thanks to the weather! R-14 Paintball's Grand Opening was this past weekend, and unfortunately, Mother Nature decided not to cooperate with us. We had a few Army folk come by and ask about the field and our prices and lots of false promises of showing up on Sunday.
It was a light drizzle the whole weekend. Cowboy the fuck up folks.
It was so bad that the Department of Defense (DoD) Police canceled their event at the field (again) due to weather.
I for one hope I never have an emergency during bad weather on Ft. Dix!
Anyway, for those needing their paintball and humor fix, click Here.
Hopefully next weekend Mother Nature will be more forgiving and players will be more manly!
An aside: This is where Airsoft beats Paintball. Airsofters play in all temperatures and weather conditions. We're the god damned postal service of 6mm plastic death and pretend armies.
Registration is Working: Submit to Your Overlord
on Thursday 30 April 2009 - 08:32:07 | by CoopGreetings,
Just a quick heads up, the registration system is now working properly (minus email verification). If automated registration or spam becomes a problem, I will pursue email verification with the site's service provider. Until then, you've got pesky CAPTCHA numbers to deal with.
Oh, if anyone is interested, that youtube video I had up here for a while is available here.
As for updates, continually check the gallery. I'm always posting new stuff there, and as they come to me, I've been adding to the likes and dislikes page too.
