Brandon still has a bad cough but it’s definitely getting better, or at least I think so. Hopefully he’ll be back up to 100% early next week and Maggie and I (more Maggie) can catch up on our sleep. Last week my Surefire FM13 IR lens cap finally came in for my Surefire M961XM07 weaponlight, now all I’m waiting for is the more powerful MN11 bulb and my M4 PTW will be NV ready too. Interestingly enough though, during limited testing in my basement (which I know isn’t very scientific) my Surefire M951XM07 (60 lumens) + FM63 IR lens cap illuminates the darkness better for my PVS-14 than the more powerful Surefire M961XM07 (125 lumens) + FM13. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when I get the more powerful lamps for both lights in (hoping this week).

Last night I also rigged up a new mouth protector out of an old paintball mask and some paracord, it doesn’t protect as much of my face as the mesh mask but it protects my teeth and allows me to sight down my weapons much easier.

I signed up for an outdoor game on March 3rd, I guess that’ll be when I test my new contraption. I’m really jonsing for a game right now, there have been a few games at TTAC3 I wanted to go to that were snuffed out due to unforeseen incidents. 🙁
