What Else Do You Dork Out On?

Usually just biking but in the winter i do a little bit of snowboarding (I suck) and some MW2 and MX Vs. ATV Reflex

I would have to say my fly fishing stuff send my check book into lean amounts

I am a Visual Effects artist/Colorist (I use Autodesk tools as well as The Foundy's Nuke). You could say I am pretty fucking dorky. I wired an video editing company, built their machine room and now am helping develop our Visual effects department.

Oh and I am really into movies from the original SNL cast.

Probably Gaeilge (Irish). I never really used to like the the language until recently when I started going to some club thing called Cumann Na Bhfiann. Since then, I've pretty much fell in love with the language and its really cool to be able to speak it and have a conversation. Its such a small language, even though its taught in schools, that Irish people are amazed to hear people speaking gaeilge.

That and the Arctic Monkeys. Insane band...

Had a thing going for nitro Rc trucks for a while, you wanna talk about geeking... hours in my shed cursing myself out for stripping screws my shrek hands weren't meant to handle! But oh the sweet smell of nitro fuel, almost as good as the mixed scent of blue lock tite & park grease!

COOKING!!! Music, If the weather sucks and Im not working or riding, Ill just sit around with my bong and my guitar all day writing songs about anything. Then once Im good and baked the cooking starts...what else WELDING and Fabrication!! From caging prerunners and rhinoes, jeeps, to building spiral staricases I do it all. Its what I do for a living and I dont see myself ever working behind a desk...maybe a welding desk.

Watching boy porn at spomer's house. If there was a world cup, we'd be champions.

Just the usual really, playing guitar, beach, hit the gym... but I love graphic design still, even though I left it at uni to study commerce, maybe I will go back one day lol

It's great to see all the interest in cooking. I love the "PINNED!" engraving on the knife. I set the speed record at the culinary school where I went. I've got a great technique for micro dicing garlic, that I developed while working at a restaurant that was famous for it's garlic fries and didn't have a Quisinart. Lately, I've taken up the ukulele and archery. I'm making my own bow risers as I'm rather tall. The first two broke. Number three is solid hard maple and seems more rigid than the first two laminated ones. Dork, dork, dork!

I'm still at it. The maple one works great, or at least pretty well. After ruining the feathers on my first set of arrows, I bought a fletching jig and now build my own. Carbon shafts, right wing helical 5" shield feathers and screw in field points. All target, no death. Fun. Dork, dork, dork!

What, no other dorks out there. I guess I'm the king of dorks. I seem to have a habit of ending forum threads. Am I a dick dork? Anyway, still shooting. I'm finding that how I shoot is governed by arrow availability. I'm 6'7" and have a draw length of 33 3/4", or 32" to the rest. Most people buy arrow shafts and cut them down to their size, but I'm stuck looking for the longest arrows available, which happen to be the stiffest arrows available. No light weight bows for me I guess. I'm now making a riser out of Wenge wood to accept ILF limbs. That's international limb fitment. They just snap into place.

Welcome back to my private thread. Dork, dork, dork. I've given up on trying to guess the right bow geometry and have bought a Hoyt Horizon Olimpic style target bow. It's the longest one that I could afford at 70" with a 25" riser and long limbs. Boy, what a difference. It turns out that my geometry was totally wack and was over stressing the limbs, which were too short to begin with. The rough wenge bow blank that I made is pretty much useless. With the new bow my grouping is twice as tight. It's finally smooth enough to actually tune for proper arrow flight.

I didn't really contribute the first time around

This summer it was back to bikes, bikes, and more bikes sol all the other hobbies have suffered. Trying to learn guitar as well, but suck at it so far.
