good to hear that. still in canada right? do you plan to reside there or go back to cali?

i'm doing well. not taking much pictures these days. Just enjoying life and being lazy haha. I recently got into archery so that's something new. Like photography, spending a lot of $$ on gears. Not as expensive but it's still expensive. say about 1500-2000 for a bow set. and of course, gotta get them bags/case for them too. so it does remind me buying photography gears. i'm not competing or anything like that, just shooting for fun. there are different kind/type of shooters, I'm doing Olympic target shooting. my goal and aim is hitting the target at 70 yards :P I go to a local park that has an archery range free to use. If it wasnt for that, there are indoor ranges that you can shoot at for $10-15/hr. other outdoor ranges will also have a fee. so I am blessed to be able to go use the free one, and it is a very nice range too.

The Las Vegas hockey team, Kights, might recruit Fricks so we can shoot together

He has grown so big specially in his hockey uniform I would not recognize him if I meet him in the street...from a young boy to a hockey man.

Enjoy your youth Fricks...and Baan, nice hobby will you be as good a Robin Hood and William Tell?

I remember the archer who shoots using his feet and the Korean archer who lit the Olympics flame...post some pics of you you with your bow and arrows, with the quiver.

I am currently at college playing hockey in Virginia. Going into senior year....

I kind of in the same boat have not been able to shoot much or have I had the motivation lately. Archery is awesome!! I spent the last 5 weeks working at a summer camp and one of the activities they had was archery. I was terrible but it was very fun. I had no idea it was that expensive though!!! I feel like any hobby is quiet expensive lol. Im glad you are doing well and enjoying the shooting it sounds like a blast.

Tony I am actually currently in Vegas as I type this!! Here with some buddies to watch the UFC 239

That would be a dream but that time has passed. I think this will be my last year of hockey as I graduate from college. Off to the real world. There is options to go play pro in the ECHL or somewhere over seas. Hard to make a living doing that though. I need to get a real job so i can start focusing on grown up stuff.

Fricks, enjoy the UFC and congrats on your completing college soon...you will be surprised the real world culd be fun if you find a good career to pursue. I actually enjoyed my corporate stint selling computers then as country manager for IBM division and then my running own companies retiring here rejoining the work force at CA and IBM again...looking back I was part of the computer history, from selling the IBM System/360 in 1968 to the IBM PC and not infavor of the Micorsoft OS...... although I did not make the billions as other prioneers, I enjoyed the ride.

I feel nostalgic watching some of the HBO etc shows on the computer, knowing I was part of many IBM innovations adapted by companies from online banking to airline reservation systems to petroleum applications....and being the Y2K and Euro compliance executive during th ehectic years of 1998 to 2000 making sure many large institutions world wide got their systems ready

Cheers

the little boy who was pumping up his car tire with a manual bicycle pump has changed??? lol

I say little, but I'm sure he's taller than me. I'm 5'6

wasnt sure who William Tell was so had to look him up. Stay tuned, I'll have my own series in the future ^_-

I actually did not knew about the para shooters, thats pretty amazing what they can do. I can't even shoot that well with both arms and legs. the only problem I have is that my right vision is very blurry so its hard for me to pinpoint the target. ehhe I'll take some pics of my bow but a self portrait will have to wait almost done getting the gears I want for my bow.

thanks bud! glad to hear from you too. Did you enjoy your time in Canada? I was going to say I never got to visit canada before, but I did, sorta. It was during my cruise to Alaska. I got to go to Yukon and Victoria Island. Did not really do much in Victoria Island because it was too short of a time duration for us to get out and enjoy a part of it. I only walked down on dock and check the souvenir shop and went back on the ship to pack up for the crew to pick up to have ready for when we leave the following morning.

Archery can be cheap if your shoot a basic bow and arrow. I dunno why I always tend to go for the more expensive route.. :P
