My son woke up complaining of a sore throat, headache and body aches. I'm 90% certain it's not COVID but I never want to be "that parent" who ignores mild symptoms and causes an outbreak at the gym. So he had to miss promotions today while we wait on the results of a COVID test.

I am super bummed about this. Was really looking forward to him getting his first belt. But better safe than sorry.

At work on a windy and very cold day. (windchill)
Someone just toasted an onion bagel in the office and now it stinks in here. Lol
Supposed to do a zoom class tonight. Hopefully I get more than 4 people on there. I can't tell you how much I hate doing the zoom classes.
Only because some people do not have partners and other do, so it turns into a shit show. Lol
I do need to go in the back shop to makes some stuff for the job sites. Of course I am procrastinating because it is cold back there.

I started home office again. Please ignite a flame war here on Beltchecker so I get some quality entertainment.

Good Morning Beltchecker family!
Well I finally jumped the shark and registered on TKDCheckers.com
I don't train TKD anymore but I figured I'd like to have a record of my training and promotion history on the interwebs for eternity.
At work today. Did not end up doing the zoom class last night because I wasn't feeling to hot after work. Feeling better today.
Hope you all have a great day!

Just found out that an old buddy of mine who I lost contact with due to me moving around in the military so much has passed away.
Stroke and cancer took him out. The dude was super cool and funny as shit. Once at a tournament he kicked a guy in the nuggets just to get dq'ed so we could go eat lunch in Berkley. "The tournament was taking forever." Lol He was hilarious and never had a care in the world. He even sold me the engagement ring that I gave my wife. (He was a jeweler) He had stopped training back in 97 in all martial arts to focus on his family and business. God rest his soul.

Sorry man. It’s been weird, lately more and more people I grew up with have passed on. I guess that happens as we get older. I don’t feel old though. As long as we have memories of them they live on at least.

Thanks brother. I've been aware of my own mortality since I was 23 and I try to live everyday with that thought in my mind.
Sites like this are good to keep a history of our existence for as long as the internet exists. Our families, friends, coworkers etc and sites like this will keep our memory alive for a long time I hope.

Thanks Bill. The guy was a solid human being. Loved Fishing, hunting, plinking and all around having a good time. Can't imagine how hard his family must have taken it.
They worshiped him. He definitely was that guy to alot of people. Probably laughed in his last breath.

Cancer is a bitch. Sometimes it feels like the medical industry is holding on to the brakes when it comes to finding better treatment and cures.

Today was all about the doggo. Clicker training in the morning, nosework in the afternoon and clicker class (which is more for the humans) in the evening after we hit the gym.
Also trying to learn snowboarding concepts before hitting bigger slopes. Fascinating!

I registered there but it's all vintage 2002-2003 pics of me. Even the profile pic. (Sidenote: my nose job changed my life!) I have journal entries for every belt promotion and the one tournament I did.

I only trained up to green-advanced but I sure had fun.

Good Morning!
Still on lockdown here. They are supposed to make an announcement sometime today on whether or not some restrictions will be lifted. This is getting ridiculous.
Anyway, at work and hopefully my day goes by quickly.
Have a great day everyone!
