Paintball at Lock and Load Paintball and AirSoft

Smaller field, but we had a blast. There were about 25-30 people there; plenty of players to keep things interesting.

Had trouble keeping the goggles from fogging up, but it was a rainy day, so that was expected. Generally, after about 2 minutes, it was impossible for me to see through the goggles. I just shot at anything that moved. :)

Good times.

Years ago in Montana, my friends tried to get me to go folfing with them. I never did.

So a few days ago, when my buddy here in Portland asked me to go, I figured I should probably check it out. I officially suck at it, but have discovered that I really like to play. It's free, simple, and doesn't take much time to finish a around.

I'm not giving up regular golf, but I'll definitely be spending some time at the various disc golf courses around Portland.

Golf

I love to golf. I suck at it, but it's one of those therapeutic activities that I'll probably never give up. I started golfing way back when I was a kid in Montana. The courses were different there. I remember golfing the Fort Benton course when the fairways were just patches of green surrounded by brown, dry grass. It didn't matter to us, we just went to have fun. These days, I don't get to go as often as I'd like, so when I can't actually golf, I like to hit the driving range. I've been playing with the same set of clubs since the mid-90s... But a few weeks ago, a friend of mine offered to trade a fairly decent set of hardly-used clubs for an external hard drive. How could I refuse? Time to hit the driving range. It's amazing what a new driver did for me. It's like night and day--I can't wait to actually hit the course with 'em.
