World Sambo Masters Championships
Sambo players are so tough, in their competitions, they grapple on the ceiling...

Good Morning,
Just at work in the office today. Had a good dumping of snow over the weekend. (photo from work security cam)
This is the best part of the day. No one is here but me. Calm before the storm I would say.
Full lockdown mode in the town the academy is in so no class tonight. We do have class at the other academy a bit further north.
Just debating on whether I want to make the drive up there. Lol

Took my son to BJJ class today and the kid he sparred with kept saying his dad helps him at home. After class my son said he wants to start working with me at home so he can get better.

Be still, my heart.

Good Morning!!
Another day at work. Did a shit ton of takeoffs on blueprints yesterday. Luckily I worked out last night and I feel energized. I'm not one to sit around as it makes me feel lethargic. I had a nice workout last night and even got to watch some instructional vids. Today more of the same at work. I have payroll to do so I'd better get on that.
Hope you all have a great day!

Relaxed and rested the whole morning and day. Glad I did, because we had to go fix a broken boat shelter in the pouring snow while it was dark. The shelter on the biggest boat had given in under the weight of some wet snow and water that had found it's way between the tarps. We crawled inside, under the tarps and the broken pillars, lifted them back up and screwed some support beams between the A pillars. Aaaand added more screws on places where we thought was needed. Let's hope it holds now. Gonna go back and check during the weekend.

Good Morning All! Happy Thanksgiving to all the folks in the US!
Work today as usual. Tonight I get to teach a class at the other academy.
We are on lockdown so we are not open in Bolton.
Will be good to see everyone at the other academy as it has been awhile.
Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!
For my non-American friends, you can still participate.
Just get together with your family, and eat enough Turkey, side dishes, and desserts that you pass out in a food coma on the couch.
And then repeat this with the leftovers for the next few days.
Remember to be Thankful for something.
If you have a wife, it's easy to be Thankful, because she will tell you how Thankful you should be that she is there, and will periodically move your super suit without telling you.

Don't forget to start an argument so you can have that authentic Thanksgiving! Lol

^^what you just described doesn't happen until December 25th. :D

Another day, another raspagem... No, wait... Did pretty much nothing. Took grandma to her lab appointment, checked the boat shelters and tied down one end of the tarps, took a long walk with the family, skipped BJJ AND gym, cause schedules just didn't sit right + had to help around home. Gonna compensate and hit the gym and nogi tomorrow.

I’m working 24 hours today at the fire station and it’s my bday.
Happy Birthday!!
I used to work 24's when I was in the Air Force. 24 hours on 72 hours off.
It was great. I had a bed to sleep in so really only worked late at night if we were in the middle of an exercise.
Never had so much time off again in my life.

Popped up a few new designs on my merch page to populate the site. Gives me practice with the software that I'm still largely unfamiliar with (Affinity Design)

Double funeral. It was time to take out the suit, which still fits barely, and support the wifey and her family. It was an honour to participate in carrying one of the coffins and helping with the burial. My jits may not be super good, but I know how to swing a shovel and carry heavy stuff.

Good Morning! Snow storm here today. Not alot of accumulation of snow. More wind and snow blowing around than anything.
No outdoors work for me today. I will be in the office doing a shit ton of blue prints that were dumped on me yesterday (estimating takeoffs).
Got about 12 (blocks of townhouses) done yesterday and have 24 more to go.
Hardest part of getting up at 4:30 am and coming in to work is leaving my family while they sleep warm in bed. Just makes you want to jump back in
bed and snuggle up. With my sons it was super tough to do when they were so little. Now they are bigger than me and too cool for their dad. Lol
Last night I got to do some self defense with my boys in my home gym. It was fun.
Anyways, I wish you all have a great day.

I turned a men's tanktop into a women's tanktop on Sunday.

You can turn almost any oversized men's t-shirt or tank into a fitted women's shirt/tank using a shirt that already fits you well as a template.

Very pleased that I finally got Diablo 1 working on my Chromebook, because you can now play it as a browser game (but still keep your save files, super important!). Basically just dungeon hacked all day yesterday. So that's at least one thing I can do during covid while I can't teach my classes at the gym. ;)

"Stay awhile and listen!" Uuuh the nostalgia. I used to play Diablo 1 on an old iMac with a notoriously shitty CD drive. It would get stuck super often and I'd have to open and close the drive for the game to resume. And the CD drive was loud as fck.

Been feeling a bit tired or sick, not sure which, so I've just slept a lot and avoided all the chores around the house.

I finally got around to stuffing a grappling dummy I bought during our first Covid lockdown.
He’s a bit smaller than I thought.

I've been using a home made one, which I also got my students to make at home too. It doesn't have legs, but quick and easy. Most importantly, means I can do way more in terms of drilling and teaching over Zoom, very handy. Probably wouldn't be too hard to add legs (e.g. cram some more rolled up towels into a pair of trousers), the hard part would be securely attaching it to the torso. I could sew it on, but not sure I want to do something that permanent. Maybe tie on with a belt looped around the shoulder and crotch? :)

I had thought about using duct tape around some stuffed clothes once. I figured it might end up being more expensive than buying one. lol
