Beside the garage Sale, Tommy and I had a paintball game to film. I took over 500 pictures. some interesting, some not. Paintball has become a family event.

we were finally allowed to have a community wide garage sale. The traffic got a little crazy.

We had a lunch for the Knudson’s who are going back

to Illinois on a more permanent basis. maybe. Illinois

was nice when we visited in the summer but I don’t get the

place’s winter appeal.

Wayne ask me out today to get some pictures of the newest

addition to the paintball field.  It is quite clever.  The fuselage is

made up of flat bottom boats.  Tippmann helped fund the project

which made a great tie-in to their new marker the X7 with X being

the destination of experimental aircraft.

It was decided that Chip needed to go have his first haircut.  He

looks like a completely different dog.

He seems pretty happy with the new look.

Tips was wondering why her picture wasn’t being taken.

This one is my favorite as the shot looks professionally framed and

the detail that the camera captured was amazing.

The Holy Grail game is not your typical paintball game.

The Final Battle ended in a draw so the XOs had to battle it out to

see who won the final battle. Again not your typical game.

The Nocer girls gave each general a shield to thank

them for their service this weekend.

King Arthur had an easier time storming the French castle

then the one in the movie did.

Hard to believe it has been five years since I filmed the very first Nocer Production’s Holy Grail game based on the Monty Python Movie. This year’s game was one of the most photographed games in paintball history. PBJUNKIE.com has put up 977 pictures and 68caliber.com has up 1,019 pictures and Dad for Ragtopvideo.com took 892 pictures that I haven’t decided what I want to do with yet. I am thinking about putting them online with a watermark and selling the individual pictures, but I have two DVDS I will have to complete soon and will not have time really to look in to it right now….so I might just put these up for now. Anyway I found pictures of me on the other sites but none of Dad.

Went and videotaped the Rocker’s Rocking Country program

at the the Spanish Oaks Social Hall.

We showed the movie NOEL at the Social Hall for the Wednesday Night Movie. It was a Christmas story but a very good movie and worth the “price of admission” just to watch Cruz dance.

Didn’t like too many of the portrait shots we took, we are going

to have to look closer into the camera’s manual.

We got in a new Canon Rebel camera in today…so the site can expect a lot of new pictures of pretty much anything and everything as we test it out.

First picture has to be of the dog, some kind of rule

My room is still a work in progress

The macro function of the camera is really good

Well, sort of. I have started a webcam that updates every minute. It is at

http://www.ragtopvideo.com/webcam/webcam.html

Currently it is showing the view from our front porch, but I am working on finding a placement without the window screen in front of the camera.

Dad made it on TV for all of a second. Paintball World TV which airs on the Men’s Outdoor Recreation (MOR) channel to probably an average of 10 viewers, had the full show devoted to the Camp Blanding Game.

Paintball World is on DirectTV channel 604 Saturday’s 9pm eastern.
