We left our wet weather climate last weekend to get some solid grindout time down at CEPP in Sacremento, California. We left at 10:30pm from the Puyallup area, with Big Geoff piloting the Ford Excursion. Loaded up with 60 cases of paint, 6 people, the clothes on our back and enough caffeine to fuel a jet we headed south on I5. Along the way we managed to dodge the Fuzz and average good time, making the trip down with 1 stop in about 10.5 hours. Most of us didn’t sleep much the way down, I got about 2 hours total. We arrived at the hotel at about 7:30 am, and hit the field at 9. The weather was crisp and clean, overcast and cool. We played from 10:00 to 1, ate lunch, and played a few more hours. Fuzion is a good team. A squad had a rough start, but by the afternoon they had ironed out the wrinkles.
All 11 of us stayed in a two room hotel, so it only cost something like $13 each a night. A team favorite is Panera bread, which we ate for dinner, and then spent the rest of the evening watching the Winter Olympics. The following morning we hit the field early, and started playing by 9, and finished the day by 1pm. Between the two days, we shot about 55 cases of paint. We had already checked out of the hotel, so we grabbed Panera (again) and cruised on back home. Thank god for onboard DVD players! We watched everything in the car the way back up, arriving back in Puyallup at around 2am. From there I jetted home to catch a few hours of sleep, and dragged myself up to go to work at 9…
