James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 4hThroughout the warmer months I see people doing their sports and activities and thinking "Wow, they are doing such cool things, I wish I was doing cool things." Now indoor archery season is starting so I'm in the club leagues and entering tournaments. Now I'm doing the cool things! 040
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 22hDoing Nocktober this year because it is important in Archery to take care of your nocks! Unless you want a dramatic nock failure. 061
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I shot 90 arrows total today! The most since throwing out my back for the second time! How do I celebrate... a takeout coffee? 1100
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A 240 today, not terrible considering a year ago this would have been a PB but today it was more of a good score with a few shaky ends. I need to remind myself my levels are increasing overtime. Growth isn't linear but the trend will remain upwards. 060
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Once again I am one day back from vacation and already done with work this week. Incredible stuff really. 020
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Meant to go to range today, got irritated by inconveniences and completed an errand instead. We'll get back to it soon but the brain be a little cranky right now. 😂 030
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I just watched the SNW season finale and I'm just sitting here like ????? I swear this season they have had a few episodes that had interesting plot to start but then they realized they were running out of run time so they kinda rush through the rest of it with some weird finisher plot. 100
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Went to the range in hopes of setting a league score for this week. Basically had an hour and a half crashout session instead. At least I got my new Beiter plunger tuned close to where the old one was but holy hannah my mental game today was abysmal. I *know* I am capable but brain says no. 030
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I forgot to mention I saw this Ram shaped dew pattern on the hood of a car yesterday morning and am now wondering what could possibly cause such a dew pattern. Under hood heat insulation maybe? 230
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Okay, while driving an Audi for most of a week was great, getting back into my car (especially since they just fixed the AC, hopefully permanently) is like getting home and getting your favourite pyjamas back on. It feels so light, responsive and eager. 160
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So I drove about 650 km today, probably closer to 700 in actuality. I'm a little wiped? And to think I have previously driven about 1300 km in a day in a manual transmission car that lacked cruise control. ALONE. Younger me was built different. 130
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I swear GTA drivers generally have some of the slowest reaction times I have ever seen... Green light? Oh yeah let's take 2 business days to react to that. Also a lot of blindspot riding going on. 010
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Homeward bound finally. Probably won't get back to the NCR until late of course because we're doing some meandering but we'll get there... eventually. 😂 070
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Got to experience Toronto rush hour on the Gardiner. So that was fun! Now I'm back at the hotel for pizza time. 040
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Gonna shoot arrows while on vacationnnnn. Going to an archery store that I've shopped at online but never been to in person tomorrow, and they have a little range to shoot arrows too. I'm such a nerd LOL. 040
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Gotta use that hotel lighting for at least one photo eh? 2230
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Falls viewed... they are quite intimidating I must say. The scale of them gave me vertigo. More adventures tomorrow. 080
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I have driven many kilometers today in a car I am unfamiliar with and I am here safe. So that is good! Niagara Falls tomorrow. 0110
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 21/09/2026So I was expecting a Chevy Equinox Ev as a rental but we got an Audi Q4 E-Tron instead. I'm NOT complaining. 240
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Went to the range today despite my brain being like "be lazy". Shot 50 arrows in just over half an hour (of shooting time, more like 45 minutes with my rest). That's encouraging! I was also doing 6 arrow ends and my back was holding up. The second I felt true back pain I stopped though. 140
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 18/09/2026A while back I did finally watch an episode of Heated Rivalry but I found myself having to zip theough the spicy scenes because my ace-brain was like "mmmmm no, not in the mood for that". 120
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 17/09/2026More on this... I compared the 4 and the Sportage on CarSized (I had a Sportage for a little over a year). The 4 Coupe is shorter, wider and slightly longer, stands to reason the "SUV" will be the same. I think it's more wagon than crossover and that does it for me. 100
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Mmmmm I think I like the Polestar 4 "SUV" version. It's giving me more of a wagon feel like the EV6. 140
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Today is the start of the Fall League at the range. Naturally coming back from a twice repeated back injury I'm not expecting much this season. Doesn't mean I can't put in an honest to goodness new PB in for my first score. I will persist and overcome. (Also credit to my Ottawa Wolves hat) 260
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Pretty sure my car's AC is broken again and there's something wrong with the cabin fan too. It's very loud. Ugh. 000
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Gosh I wish I was this good at real archery. (On paper targets of course). 020
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 11/09/2026So despite all the walking my back feels good. I was even lugging a small bag around and it feels fine. It was my left thigh that was suffering more (Also a good sign that it was getting worked because through physio I've learned I lean a fair bit to the right) 050
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Yesterday at Physio: Oh yeah, I'm going to try to go for a walk tomorrow. Nothing too crazy. Me today: *Walks almost 6 km before noon* Because wtf is moderation anyway. 030
James @jamestigrato.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I need to figure out what to do with my day off tomorrow. It's being taken out of necessity (car glass appointment in place far enough from work to be inconvenient to be at work)... but I'm sure I can make something out of it. 030
