Primetime Paintball and Skateboards

My friend James!
This is his skate shop, aye, and much more at that!
Paintball guns gear sales and service, skateboards, parts, stickers, dvds, shoes, snowboard service, clothes, accessories, odds, ends, snacks, air and waxing.


He became a business man in highschool.
Built, ran, runs, owned, owns and operates Primetime from scratch.
James makes his living living out his favorite ever-evolving hobbies.
He started with paintball gun sales and service, and never stopped!
Interest in skateboarding and lack of local support prompted expansion.
He began selling skate products to compliment his paintball inventory.
Now he quite comprehensively covers key action oriented outdoor activities.
Voila!
My friend is an independent business man for fun!
With his store's custom decks printed and pressed by a tier-1 skate company.

Crescent City Christmas

Dad and I spent the holiday together this year.

Our time twas short so we spent it with precision.
We filled our two days with a shared love for the outdoors.
Hikes were in order; mountains, seas, trees.

Dad taught me this some time ago, now I'm a believer.
Redwoods get something like 60 percent of their water from the fog.

The immensity of these trees is hard to capture.

We hiked down to a river which hosts salmon.
Their annual run was over, but we imagined them!

The trees reminded us of Lord of The Rings.

Gllleeeahhhaaa!!!!!!

Dad wanted me to get these Jurassic Park ferns.
He said I could use them for reference, and I will!
They will make perfect roadside foliage for a shortcut!

____________
On our short drive back to town, we passed through this.
A rare old covered wooden bridge - awesome!

Snowy Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving was a snowy day here in Vancouver.
Snowy days in the city are very rare indeed.
It has been predicted that this will be the snowiest in 50 years!
Vancouverites last ice skated on Lost Lagoon 100 years ago.
This was the first time in my 3 years here I'd seen it freeze over.

The snow excited me, very much.
Both because of rarity and reminiscence.
I took the long way to work on purpose!
It was fun to drive on the snow, very fun.

Are you my mother?

game nights

Some Wednesday or Thursday nights, I go to game night.
We eat chips, drink pop, order pizza, and play boardgames.
They are nights of rules and objectives friends and learning.
I have strengthened my creativity, prediction, logic and tactics.
These nights are a welcome respite from modern entertainment.

Bald Eagle

There is a bald eagle out my window right now.
2 bald eagles, actually - I can hear them chortle.
I saw them each land atop my favorite tree.
How wonderful is it to live downtown.
And see bald eagles out the window.
