Pellet guns

I recently got into pellet guns and purchased this Crosman 1077 and made a tactical style stock after seeing a pic of a guy from Poland did to his.

Alone.... a true surf story.

A hurricane came to our area around 1982-83. This was the hurricane that took out the end of Sunglo pier. Anyway a large group of my high school buddies and I decided to charge the huge surf. It was exciting there was like sixteen of us, we were pumped, we drove and parked a group of cars at one end of the beach and drove a couple miles up the drift from the current and headed out. I remember thinking these were really big waves as they thundered across the beach. The noise was almost deafening.

The shore pound was a fierce solid six foot but we were determined to head out. I remember my two buddies Tom and Jimmy were on each side of me as we paddled out. I had a single fin 6'6" Gerry Lopez Lightning Bolt, it was a beauty dark maroon with white lightning bolts. The shore pound was a monster. I remember that I just kept paddling and paddling, duck diving relentless wave after wave for at least thirty minutes. I remember I paddled past the trough and to the outside breakers which were about half to three quarter of a mile out. I finally found a spot where there was lull.

I sat up on my board and started looking around for everyone , I couldn't see anyone. I looked back and I could see I was way out past the pier. I turned around facing outward and realized I was alone. I could hear the wind blowing across these huge faces. I could see huge waves breaking way out and finally they started breaking where I was. I probably had about a year's experience at this point and I realized that I needed to catch the smallest wave I could find so I could get back to the beach. Looking back I would say these waves were easily twenty to twenty five foot range.

A nice looking peak came in and I knew to try for the peaks because you could stand and have a face to ride. I started paddling for it but as it broke I pulled back as it just slammed down. I went for the next one paddled real hard and as I went to stand up , I was launched out in front of it . As I fell upside down I was amazed as at least six foot of wave face went by, then my board went by vertically on the face and then another six foot of water went by so the wave was at least eighteen foot. Then with tremendous force I was slammed underneath the water, I remember hitting the sandbar and pushing up off it but then the wave dragged me violently yanking hard on the leash. I had my leash leg bent hoping that the leash would hold. As popped my head through the whitewater my board slams down on my face. I grabbed it and got on it and bear hugged my board as walls of giant white water came slamming down, tumbling me end over end.

I finally made it to shore and started walking back towards the car after few minutes I see Jimmy and he comes running up to me asking me if I'm alright. I hadn't realized my board had slit a cut above my eye and blood was all down my side. At the car was the rest of the gang and I asked them where and what happened to them. They all said they couldn't get past the shore pound. Guess I got lucky!!!

Noah

On August 27th, 2010 me and my wife were blessed with a beautiful boy Noah. He has definitely brightened our lives. He's a good lil baby not too much trouble. Can't wait til he can talk. He's pretty noisy but no words as of yet.

Battlefield,Dark Railers and La Cantina

Online gaming has always fascinated me from my first introduction to it in Warcraft which was basic but better than playing the computer. From Warcraft I moved onto Tribes which just engulfed me as a first person shooter that was 3d, had massive maps and you could build stuff.
It was really an engaging game but after awhile I went on searching for more. One day I seen an ad in a PC magazine for Battlefield 2. It looked kool and sounded very interesting.

However the specs for the game meant I couldn't use my old office pc(500mhz 258 ram), thus began my first PC build, I bought some gamer magazines and read up on building my first gaming rig. After finding New Egg and their fair pricing I took the plunge and bought everything I needed to play BF2.

First I played the demo which was awesome and everything seemed to work alright as far as my pc went( I had the lowest specs for economic reasons). I then went and purchased the game.
After a few months of playing problems emerged and I then dabbled in overclocking to allow my pc to play the game . And for awhile I was an OC expert or at least I learned to recover from BSOD screens.

Anyway I eventually found a server La Cantina that I enjoyed playing with some of the people there. I played under the name ZipSnipe and my first BF2 friend was Angry Inch, he was a kool guy and an admin plus I thought the name was kool, then Matix( I might have his name wrong it's been awhile).
After awhile I began to have a nemesis ]DR[ Devadander and no matter what I did he was always a step ahead of me. Eventually I was waging a personal war against these ]DR[ guys. They ruled the La Cantina server, they're constant teamwork and sneaky strategies made they a respectable foe. On one particular map Mashtuur they would fly around in a Blackhawk and just lay the city to waste with the devastating fire power that at the beginning of BF2 would go through buildings and you weren't safe if you were hiding. They eventually patched the game and fixed that but if any La Cantina vets are reading this I am sure you can recall the frustration these guys brought to the game.
Eventually La Cantina closed down and I ended up joining Dark Railers aka ]DR[( if ya can't beat 'em join 'em).
They turned out to be a fun group of gamers and we competed in BF2 tournaments and scrims. We won many but there were a few clans out there that we never did beat -R- and LAW. I remember those -R- guys putting a beating on us during a regular game on some server somewhere we were all pissed.
But our crew was fun, we had Dev,Cy,Mal,Spuey,Toast,WTH,Space,Mad,Shawn,Azrek,DrakoTyphoon,Deadman and Etc.. Fun times but eventually it died out.
Along came some mods like Point of Existence and then Project Reality. PR stood out the most, it completely changed the way the game was played. WTH aka Whattheh3ll was one of the first to play it and convinced me that this was the way the game should be played and after I adjusted to the way different way of playing I agreed. PR had huge maps and required yet another pc build for the game. Soon it was me,WTH, Drako, Clock and Mad dominating the PR landscape. I was really surprised that the rest of ]DR[ never got in too it. I agreed with some of their complaints but I always felt some of them should have given PR more of a chance and they would have seen the light. Well me and WTH are still playing and we are waiting to see what BF3 brings to the table.

A couple of lil' new projects
