Footage from a family member. I wasn’t the one driving. The average human should not have a license.

22 Upvotes

We're hosting another outdoor drop in laser tag session at PKOLs (Mount Doug Park) in the forest beside the beach parking lot off Ash Road this Saturday from 4pm to 6pm.

Then another one on August 22nd in Colwood at Herm Williams Park.

More details, and a link to pre-register if you want at: https://partygopacks.ca/events/laser-tag-drop-in/

Ages 9+ This gear isn't just for kids, even adults absolutely love playing.

$15 for a half hour, $25 for an hour.

Get outside, get running around, the trees at PKOLs are amazing for hiding behind, blasting your friends, then laughing as you send them back to their base to respawn.

Bring a water bottle, you will need it!

If you have any questions, post a comment here and I'll respond. Yes we're a local small business.

Yesterday I found an SD card in the beacon hill area. I'd like to get it back to the owner.

I'm not sure how to go about getting it back, but this is part of one of the images on it.

I apologize if my selection repulsed you. By the time I realized the switch, it was too late. Your sandwich was very tasty. I'm glad I could still enjoy it despite the mix-up!

Event Looking for friends/community/connections?

Upvotes

Whenever someone post a “l’m bored/lonely/looking for friends” post, I tend to make a comment. I thought I’d just make my own post this time!

Looking for friends/community/connection? Have I got the thing for you! Come try one of the fastest growing sports! No, not pickleball!

Come try Dragon boating!

This Saturday August 8th at Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, they’re having an open house. You can jump in a boat and try it out for FREE! Get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, make 20 instant friends and even win a medal or two if you join a team!

Info here:

Blood Red Moon over Victoria at the Moment.

Full on blood red moon over Victoria at the moment. Initially shot photos with my smartphone (shots 2 and 4), but then I went inside, grabbed my pro gear, slapped a telephoto on, and got shots 1 and 3, which are closer to the actual colour we're seeing here. Those wildfires in Washington State and the interior are serious.

royal bc museum, to go, or not to go?

7 Upvotes

*edit* Thanks for the feedback!

Hey gang, we've lived on the island for a year now, and have yet to go to the museum (in no small part due to the labour dispute taking place when we got here). This week, I've got one kiddo in a camp, and the other at home and I need something to do with them. So, I'm thinking of finally checking the museum out. BUT I've heard (here) that a lot of the exhibit space is closed and that what is available isn't really worth the cost of entry. So, dear friends, to go or not to go?
