It's a rainy Sunday and I'm bored. So here's a family photo!

It's a rainy Sunday and I'm bored. So here's a family photo!

My son's (13) LV 1.6

Pnuemagged Mini Mag w/ Retro Valve & lvl 10 bolt

My little brothers (RIP) trilogy. (He also had an Epiphany that my older brother now has)

Shocker NXT w/ Virtue board

OG non-vision Impulse w/ tapeworm and Sci-fi board

Sci-fi'd E2 Autococker. That one started life as a 2000 that I bought brand new back then. Slowly over the years every last part was upgraded or changed. At some point I swapped out the body because I stripped out some screws on the original and couldn't fix them.

Blue Dasher

Looks like he's been through it and back. Flew away right after I snapped this picture.

Spicebush Swallowtail

Finally got a picture of a Spicebush Swallowtail! I'm new to loving butterflies and have been trying to get a picture of one for a few weeks. They're always so fast and never land long enough. This one gave me a great photoshoot though!

Tiger Moth

This little guy accompanied us on a walk through Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown NJ. I wanted to get a picture with it's wings open because they're such a beautiful vibrant red but he didn't want to cooperate.

Help with trilogy ram leak

I'm trying to get my little brothers old trilogy back up and running after hanging on wall for the last 17 years. I took the whole gun apart and replaced all o rings, everything in the body, inline reg, lpr, ram, everything. I got the gun shooting and leak free. I sweet spotted the inline reg and set the lpr perfectly. I had it over the Chrono and couldn't get it to shoot over 260, even with the ivg turned all the way in. I replaced the main spring with a heavier one and now the ram leaks from the back where the rod goes in. I tried another ram I had on hand, an ans mini ram, and that one leaked from the same place as well. Neither of those rams leaked before. I do have another ram on my cocker that I could try but I really don't feel like taking it apart to swap. There's no way a stiffer spring would cause that kind of leak. It doesn't make any sense. Is there something else I'm missing? It doesn't look like there's an internal o ring in the trilogy ram and the ans ram isn't rebuildable. I had the ans ram on my cocker and it didn't leak. I'm stumped. I can turn the lpr down low enough that the leak stops but then the gun doesn't recock, so that's no good.

Sci-fi board app Issues?

The app won't recognize the autococker or impulse boards I just got. I'll open up the app, plug the USB cable into my phone, then into the board. That will turn on the board into menu mode. I'll hit scan on the app and the circle will spin for about 10 seconds and stop. Nothing happens, just a blank app screen. I ordered a new USB cable thinking that might be the problem but I don't think it is. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S21 if that matters at all.

I posted this in on the sci-fi Facebook group too

What is your useless super power?

I have the ability to put any item back into it's manufacturers original packaging with ease, sometimes better than the manufacturer did. Things like sleeping bags, air mattresses, the big blow up bounce houses for the kids. Pretty much anything that needs to be rolled or folded back up to be put away neatly.

[WTB] Pants for my 12yo

My wife said she's tired of my kid destroying his joggers and sweats playing paintball so I have to buy him some paintball pants 🤣 He's 12 years old, just shy of 5' tall and 120lbs. So probably looking for something in an adult small. Looking for something budget friendly since he'll probably outgrow them within a year anyway. Whatcha got?

[WTB] looking for a loader

Preferably a Spire but open to what's out there. Not looking for any crazy colors, black or gray are preferred but I'll look at anything and maybe something will tickle my fancy. Trying to spend around $100 or so.

My first tooth

And a beauty from a sand tiger. At least that's what I think it is. Found in the local fossil beds near me in NJ. I was super stoked when I found it 😄

Old school SP Impulse not firing.

I went through the whole gun and replaced all of the o rings. I dry fired it a handful of times and it was good. I brought it outside to set the velocity and it fired about a dozen times then suddenly stopped. The bolt cycles but it doesn't fire. Reg is set to 200psi, I've tried adjusting the lpr too and nothing makes a difference. And yes, the air tank is full. I'm going to pull it all apart again tonight to see if there's something amiss, but if anyone has any thoughts in the meantime I'm all ears.

UPDATE I took everything apart, made sure all of the o rings were good and everything is installed correctly. Took the solenoid apart to check that too. After reassembling now the solenoid won't click. I'm assuming it's either a failing board or a failing solenoid. If it's a failing board that's whatever because I have a sci-fi board on order. I ordered it probably about 2 months ago. I also ordered an autococker board at the same time. I'm assuming he's waiting for the cocker boards to be ready to ship and he'll ship both at the same time. I tried emailing sci-fi and DMing Brandon on Facebook to find out what's up but I haven't receive a reply 🤷🏻‍♂️

Getting back at it tomorrow!

Tomorrow I'm coming out of retirement and bringing my 12 year old son to play paintball. I haven't played in about 15 years, maybe more. I'll be rocking my 06 Shocker NXT and my son will whip the LV 1.6 I picked up off the BST here not long ago. If he likes it and wants to keep playing the LV will be a gift to him. I'm going to bring my Cocker and Impulse too. I definitely plan on dusting the cobwebs off the Cocker for a few games and might use the Impulse as well. Hopefully my back and knees hold up! 🤣🤣🤣

Edit: We'll be at Long Live Paintball in Monroe NJ. If anyone is there say hi! I'll be the only one playing with a royal blue Shocker 🤣

Good deal on a mini gs?

I'm not exactly looking to buy another marker but this popped up on FBMP and it seems like a solid deal. New they retail for $380. It could be a new marker for my 12 year old who wants to get into the game.

UPDATE: I sent the guy a message but according to Facebook I'm unlikely to receive a reply. Oh well. It was worth a shot.

Thinning the herd! Free bags!

I have too many bags so I've decided to give some of these away. They are all well broken in but still very playable. Definitely good for a beginner or someone wanting to get into the game and not spend a bunch of money on bags. Just cover shipping, so like $5. Lmk what you want and I'll gladly send them on their way!

EDIT

All bags are claimed and paid for. Thank you everybody!

Worth it on FBMP?

The seller only has these described as a limited edition purple angel with predator board and autococker with upgrades. I have a cocker, don't really need another one but I wouldn't mind more toys. I'm more interested in the angel. I'm not too familiar with them so I don't really know what model this is. They have this whole lot listed for $300

Sous vide dry aged ribeye dinner

I had some 40 day dry aged ribeyes in the freezer from the last dry aged prime rib I did. Decided to sous vide them. 135° for 3 hours then torch seared. I seasoned them last night with Meat Church Blanco seasoning, then let them dry brine in the fridge. I made some garlic herb butter with fresh rosemary and thyme from the garden. I used that in the mashed potatoes and put a dollop on the steaks after searing. Absolutely phenomenal! Scratch made gravy with homemade chicken stock (I ran out of beef stock and haven't made more yet) and the little bit of juice from the sous vide vac seal bags. The carrots are butter, oj, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, s&p.
