Taught a beginner 1.5 hour class in classic Gracie BJJ combatives and rolled a bit. Drove 45mins (mostly due to weekend lunchtime traffic) to the next gym for a 2 hour PT and rolled with the beginner student who spazzed a bit and somehow landed on my finger mid roll which tore a ligament on my pinkie. Now the fingernail end is curled forwards. I don't want to wear a splint as there's not pain (for now) and taped it up. 9pm zoom meeting coming up later. Here's to the weekend. Wishing you a great weekend ahead too

Did he survive your wrath?

I'm wrathless :) he's a nice guy, hotel manager but displayed full white belt spazziness/clumsiness ... just another day. A couple of years ago the same thing happened on my big toe... that hurt a lot more.

I have painters in the house painting the 2nd floor today and tomorrow the first floor. I don't like having strange people in my home but I know I have to grin and bear it.

I feel your pain. I don’t like having people in my house other than the mrs and the kids! It’s my place of sanctuary

I am so pleased with this amaryllis. Among the various weird side effects of lockdown, I've apparently developed a love of houseplants. Helps with tattoo inspiration too. :D

Completed the Carlos Machado affiliate training April 8-11. Also got promoted to Brown belt by my professor Chris Massie and Master Carlos Machado.

I love how tame the local heron is, in the park where I do all my running.

Did you try to pet it?

At work this morning dealing with a guy who claimed to get hurt at work. His came here with an old injury and now he is acting like it happened while working in our company. I can't stand people that do that. So many people in construction do that sort of thing all the time. Dealing with the comp people doesn't make it any easier since they always and I mean always side with the person pulling the scam. The legit folks get screwed all the time though which makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well now I have to deal with the guy. I have him on modified duties and hopefully he will 'heal up' and get back to work onsite as soon as possible. So annoying........................................... Anyway hope you all have a great day!!

Just spent several hours going through every post on those humongous intro threads on the main forum. Soooo many people who otherwise never post! Nice that there is at least one thread most people feel comfortable popping onto, even if that's the last post a lot of them make. ;)
