What a busy weekend.
I went paintballing for the first time on Saturday! As part of our company party, we took the entire office out to the paintball course. Now, I've been airsofting plenty of times, and I always considered paintball to be too extreme for me. Well, that view changed after half a day of getting splattered in paint and covered in welts. And now my legs hurt more than they have in a long time.
Pain aside, I really enjoyed learning the skill behind paintballing. Yes, there is skill involved; it's not just a bunch of 10-year-olds running around acting like they're playing real life Call of Duty. Well, there are a bunch of kids, but at least my co-workers and I had our own private course to shoot each other in. Oh right, skill. As you might know, bullets drop when they leave the barrel of a gun. No matter how fast a bullet is going, it will drop at the same rate due to the effect of gravity. Paintballs actually travel pretty slowly (from far enough away you can see them flying towards you, and if your reflexes are good enough you can even dodge them). As a result of their slow speed, they don't travel very far. In order to hit targets on the other side of the course, I had to arc my shots like artillery, which was pretty fun!
Sunday was full of productivity. I hit up the hardware store to pick up some supplies to finish a few projects I had started a while ago. The first was a simple addition of shelves in our bathroom, which provided some much needed storage space. There wasn't a lot of room to put things in the bathroom (a small overcrowded medicine cabinet was all we had before) so these will really help a lot.
Another project involved a simple modification of hooks that we are using to hang our oven mitts up with. We had a lot of space on the side of our fridge facing the stove, which I decided would make a good space to hang things from. I bought some hooks and magnets from the hardware store, fastened them together with super glue, and voilĂ ! Adjustable hangars!
I'm really tired, so imma go watch some Star Trek. See you tomorrow!
