    I am enjoying it even though I am up at 5am every morning, and generally not able to relax until 10pm. Tons of information, and lots of physical exercise. A great combination of white collar and blue collar work. I am built for this stuff. The instructors have an immense amount of knowledge that I am trying to soak up.

    You entering the winter academy?

    Thanks gentlemen. Fitz, that sure is true. I will be rooting everyone on this year. I have a feeling that several people on here are going to have their best bow seasons yet! I am hoping to get out for a 5-6 hours each week, and possibly 1-2 full days around November 10th and 11th. That is as good as I can do.

    Congrats, Brett!! I'm proud of you. It's gonna be the most grueling 6 months of your life, but you're going to miss everything about it someday. Enjoy it bro!

    Thank you Josh, I appreciate the advice you gave me awhile back. Back at it early tomorrow morning. Just took care of a stubborn boot that would not shine. Had to strip it back down and build it back up!

    Ahhh... good times :tu: ..but glad it only has to be done once. Shaving twice a day gets old quickly.

    TY Michael! And guys, I really appreciate the motivation. I have been one big injury ball the past six weeks. Hurt my knee and hurt my groin pretty bad. Have not missed one day of training at the academy even though some days those injuries hurt like heck. KILL!
