I do believe that the weather today did not know how to make up its mind. It start off OK this morning but at around 11 to 2 it was down right cold pluse the wind I had to find a jacket . Then at at quittin time around 3:15 the sun was out and it was about 60 and nice. O well all I know is its time to start doing yard work. Hello Tuesday and Wednesday. Gas up the lawn mower and weed eater.
these last few days have been leg recovery for myself and troubleshooting on my ford F 150 , ( 1988 ).I do believe I may have found the problem. May have to fabricate a heat shield for the starter and do a Kevlar wrapped around the exhaust. Then replace the stater again. O well it is better then buying a new/used truck.
I would like to thank instructor Lloyd for being there with me to do his physical and written test today. You rocked it out, awesome. Now two more weeks and testing. I would like to wish everone good luck tomorrow on their test. But I know you all will do good and rock it out. I wish I could be there with you tomorrow but I definitely will be there on the 10th and 11th of April.
First day of putting on shorts. Now I bet it will it will be cold next week. So I did enjoy every bit of the day. And the sun set was amazing tonight I even stop the warm ups and had the class look out side to enjoy the moment. Like someone wants said your have to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the moment.
Can you say wow what a day almost 80. I thought I was going to have to put on some sun tan lotion on. Would have love to have put in some more Rep in but just ran out of time. Don't know what happened.
Had the day off , but have to work on Wednesday now, training for work. What a nice day ,to bad all of my work at home is in side. But soon it will be all out side, I need to get this in side work done before spring or it will have to wait till fall.
Don't forget to set your clock a headed by one hour. What a nice day got my 2 mile walk in about 1:00. I will be glad when spring is here. Had a road trip to the islands this afternoon but the aircraft left with out us, was not happy. I was hoping to have a night out. O well will be on the 9:40 flight tomorrow. The broken aircraft will have to wait.
Wow what a beautiful day. I thing I can see spring ,its just around the corner. Today was my last day of a week vacation tomorrow bact to work. O well one more day closer to retirement. Today was beautiful and the body is feeling better after this weekend. I love TKD.
What a weekend, two days of a awesome instructor camp. To be able to pick up so much information from different Master. I love going back and training with new and old instructor. It is like a family reunion. Hope to see you'll next year.
Ok in my next life I want to be a Bird. By you say? Because when the cold weather comes I can fly further south. At 11degrees it is TO COLD! Lost the feelings in my fingers today and what would have taken me 15 minutes to do took me 45 minutes. It was COLD. But no a good note had a awesome time with my mente tonight.
So a few days a go i felt something coming on and attacking my body. Will it won and turn me in to a mouth breather. I do believe the next phase is becoming a zombie. I did get some Poomsea in today but the body said one more day please. So one more day it will be and no zombie for me.
Yes the number are coming down but it is a life style now. But still have 1800 rolls and falls a headed me , one roll and fall at a time. Not feeling on my game today. I think something is trying to attack my body. Will see how I feel tomorrow.
Today was a good lesson on self-control and patience and self control and patience ! Take a breath and smile. OK all is well now. Training is going well just need to catch up on my fall, I need day at a time.
Had a good day. I was worried that I was going to have a bad day. The body just didn't want to get going. So I let it have a little down time. Then the rest of the day was great. Had my first day with my mentee , one of many to come.
I felt bad about not doing some of my requirements this weekend. But two days of PMAA training, I do believe and must say made up for them. So much that after work on Sunday I was in bed by 8:30. Note to oneself I must drive next time and set time for a walk about the town.
Feeling good about my training and 10 days in to the 24 day challenge. these cold mornings are a little rough on my walks.. The good thing is it is not snowing and no freezing rain. Will be happy when spring comes.
Day 7 in to the 24 day challenge not to bad. But I do miss one thing , but how good it will be when I I have it again.
New year new challenges. tomorrow starts my 24 day challenge I'm a little nervousñ, but at least my wife's doing it with me. So it can't be all that bad.
So today was one of those days you say to your self ( WHAT IS UP !!! ).. Got to work and was told to look at my right rear tire on my chick magnet. Yes it is flat. Repair that OK. Then got home and had fuel leaking from under my truck and down the driveway. Then spent 2 and 1/2 hr under a wet truck and now will have to buy fu el lines. But ended the night with a nice dinner with my wife.
What a way to end the year with a awesome black belt class. Thank you sir. I think I am starting to love burpees. OK maybe not love just like them a !little.
Will the holiday are almost over, for me not soon enough. Don't get me wrong ,I do enjoy them. But my body is starting to enjoy them to much. My belt notch is going the other way.
Had a good week at work, but it mades for long days. I know in weeks coming up will be different, the Reserve pilots will be flying. So are workload will be a lot higher. Now for my training I have got a little slack it's time to kick it back up again .
Had a good day at work , wish I would have a book with me today. It is nice to have a kick back day ,but it makes for a long day. The good thing is I get pay for just being there.
The years have seem to fly by, in less than a month I will be in that ten week cycle again. Yes I an looking forward to be in it, but a always stil a little nervous about it.
Got to love red strip Monday after the Thanksgiving week off. I sure needed it ,I took to many days off from my workouts. Will I got the hole week to work some of this turkey off. :) :) :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Even though i may not be back home with my family i feel like i am with my family. Being surrounded with so many awesome people. Thank you to all for being part of your life.
Had a good day at work today a lot better than yesterday. But even had a better day at King Tiger tonight. Gratulations to all the new black belts. Wow so many young ones, what a good feeling to see this young people strive to be better than anyone else.
All I can say is I'm glad I don't live up in Buffalo New York or up by the Great Lakes. I love the snow when I ski , but not if I have to work in it or shovel it.
Cold cold day. Even I did not want to go out side and play. So I stay in and caught up on some notes I had on the PMAA class. Will have to start on my indoor projects soon.
A very emotional day. Picked up the friend that flew in from Maryland at the airport this morning and a new friend came up from Georgia. We all car pool to celebration of life of Master Davis today. I will miss this man. But I will never let him go in my memory.
Had a good day at work, it was a good day to kick back and read a book . Yes read a book and it had nothing to do about the work I do. This days are few.
Happy birthday to my fellow Marines out there. Once a marine always a Marine.Semper Fi. Sept. 1975.
it's been a little while since I've logged in and journaled. How I miss summer it seem like that winter is upon us and I think my body is starting to feel some of the aches of the cold.. So put on the jacket and put on a smile and keep walking those miles.
Awesome job to all the black belts candidate that tested on Saturday. I know I could not make it , but my heart and spirit was with you all.
To all that are testing tomorrow get plenty of rest tonight. I have no doubt that you all will do good tomorrow.
Today my emotions were up and down. I took a week off and went back to California to spend time with family and friends. Which I had a awesome time , but unfortunately yesterday I received some bad news. my heart is heavy but my memories are full of joy.
A bad day of fishing is always a good day of joy. Had the biggest fish in the river on my line today , but felt bad for the poor fish so I let it spit the lure out and swim a way.
I always look forward to being back at my oldhome in California. I come here to get some R & R and see family and friends. But i feel even better when I get back to my home in North Carolina. It seem like my R & R is run a round all week and still getting up at 5 am. But it's all worth it, Friend's and Family.
Feeling good today. I was hoping to get some miles in , but had a lot to do today. Should beable to get some in tomorrow.
Awesome day. Started off with a 2 mile walk , then training on new maintenance log books at work and miss 1 question on my test. Should have slow down a little. But still felt good about it. And finish the day by teaching a class tonight.
Can you say cool. Had to brake out my hoodie and lite jacket and my beanie for work today. Even my early morning walk was a little tough today. The cold weather was getting to my joints.
Very productive day. Started with Mastesr / school owner training. Went over Hop Ki Do Forms 1 & 2. Then taking apart a old plugger, cleaning the carburetor, making my own plugs. This is what you have to do when they don't make parts of this old unit. I love a good challenge.
Long ,long Tuesday. One good thing about having old mechanical stuff is its pay for. The bad thing is some times you end up working on them more then the job takes to do.
Awesome day. At work got put on a one person job, six hour. Most of the time we work in two men teams ,but this job there was only room for one person. Yes I like my coworkers but not today in this small space.
Today is Saturday for most normal people, but for me it is hump day and date night out with my wife.
Slept in late today, 7:30. Yes it felt good. Most days I get up at 4:45 and on my days off 6:15 to 6:30. I Love this cool weather
Woke up and felt awesome today. Plus the weather today ,was, you have to just love it day. Hopefully it will be the same tomorrow.
Got up this morning and was feel awesome. Then went to work and was put on stand by , which means kick back day for me. 8 hr of doing every little. Yes I need it.The body is getting better.
Had a fantastic time at Grandmaster Gay seminar yesterday. Thank you Master Evins for having a open mind and introducing us to different styles of martial arts. Now my shoulder enjoy it so much so it keep me up till about 1. I am investing money in ice packs and Ibuprofen.
Pictures day at King Tiger north today and yes I got mine.

Training with Master Evins this morning and the other master/ school owners was awesome. We went over Hop Ki Do Form 1 and self defense. Need it the small thing that make a difference.

Still recovering from this weekend, my right leg is let me know that I might have just pushed a little bit. Thank you ibuprofen. Now looking forward to this weekend, if I can get a1/2 day off.
wow what a weekend. The PMAA seminar was awesome, loved seeing so many King Tigers students that made it. Can't wait till next year. Now for the PMAA black belts the Saturday training and Sunday training was a big help for all of us.
To night was a mentee night worked on staff form 1 & 2 ,we are getting there. Looking forward to tomorrow PMAA seminar, but sad my wife will not be coming to Myrtle Beach with me. She is sick.
Looking forward to this weekend, PMAA seminar.But may be a little late getting in on Friday, my wife has to work a half day. The good thing is I got 3 days off from work and I can sleep in on Friday ,Saturday, and Sunday.
I love red stripe week. Enjoyed doing the afternoon class class today, had a great time do jump rope.
Take this moment and enjoy it.( Love Dove ). Yes I have a weakness for chocolate. But I have omit I love the motivational statements in each rapper.
Right leg was a little sore this morning, but by midday the right leg is feeling better and the body was feeling good. Looking forward to next weekend PMAA on the beach.
Yesterday the old truck got worked on. Today this old body got worked on, thank you Miss Janet, need it bad.
So tonight was catch up work on my truck, still need to do a little more but the main work is done. How I would love a new truck ,but to cheap to make the payments on new one. But must say I love working on the old thing.
Not a bad night , stated with a mentee sessions , family class, Black belt class , pmaa class and ended the night with a mentee sessions. Next week I will have have all three mentee at one time. Time management.
Rain: I cant recall the last time it rain. But we need it. The sad part is it must have kept some students from coming to class tonight. Hope they were home doing their home work.
Long day. started with first thing in the morning a dentist appointment ,then the afternoon class ,then worked on my pickup truck till 4:00 , and knocked out some requirements, then helped in the family class, then black belt class class ,and finished off the day with PMAA. Can you say time for bed.
I was a bad man this weekend. I took two days off my requirements and and indulged in a lot of barbecue. Some time you do need a brake.
Body is feeling good but was a little tired today, went to bed late and did not sleep well. The good thing is we had a slow day at work. Tonight I will be seeing the sand man early.
Loving these nice cool morning . Had a awesome day, but looking forward to this weekend ( barbecue time) . will be cooking some ribs and more ribs.
Feeling good today. Was able to do some catch up work on some tree trimming around my yard and the common area for the neighborhood. Will have to do the major tree trimming when winter comes.
Another awesome day today. Body is feeling good , now I just need to keep it that way. Looking forward to tomorrow workout in the morning. Back with the Masters , school is back in.
What a beautiful day it was today, the weather was perfect. I felt like Goldilocks ,it was just right. And the body felt good, I was able to take class to night.
Feeling awesome today. Still a little tight on the neck but need to do my requirements. Talk to my goddaughter today , i will be doing a Cancer Walk in Sacramento with her and her sisters and her mom who is fighting cancer in October.
Yes yes yes I can know turn my head to the left and almost to the right. The best part of today is I had my first meeting with two of my mentees. Not bad , I love doing this part of the cycle.
Feeling better today. If you run a business remember customer service, customer service, customer service. Went to two different businesses this week, one use to be a big name, now I know why they are losing business. The second one was a small business ,they won't have my business again.And they are going to eat the cost of what i ordered for them. Went on line and will have my part in two days. Waited for a week and then was told they may have to back order it, someone forgot to do their job.
Stuff I have not use in a long time, found their way to me today. Tiger balm , all day pain relief, heating pad. Will see what tomorrow will bring. Sunshine and a happy man.
So dose any one know were I can buy a new body. This one seems not to be working for me sometimes. Oh well I guess I have to live with this one.
Yesterday was one in a million days. I can not recall the last time I attended a Saturday Black belt class. I must say it was awesome. To see some many young kids that are striving to better themselves. This is what KingTiger is as all about. Thank you Grandmaster Jung.
The body was a little on the low side, so I did not do as msny requirements as I would have like to. The good thing is as I get older I am starting to listen to my own advice.
Great day. Got to work and got my 2 miles in , cool mornings and a beautiful sun rise. Oh and work was OK .
You have to love body ,because it will let you know when you when you did a NO NO to it. Other then that it was a awesome day.
Feeling good today, findly got some miles in. Didn't get any yard work done, the rain cut in to that. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow if rain stay away.
Rain rain rain you keep me from getting some miles in today. Other then that it was a good day. Looking forward to tomorrow.
So its been a few days since I have put in some miles. The leg is about 80% better ,I will star my walking again tomorrow. I hope to start running again next week. Smile smile smile.
Most Saturday are my day of rest. But today I felt like I needed to do some requirements. Still had a date night out with my wife and enjoy the night off.
Day started off a little on the rough side,but after a 2 mile walk I felt a little bit better. I still need a massage. Oh well there is always tomorrow to work this tightness out.
Took it a little llite today. Caught up on some yard work from yesterday early this morning, I was hoping to get as massage today but call a round and no opening. How I wish I was I the Philippines. There I could get one at anytime and it would only cost me $10.00 for 1 hr.
To day was all in all a good day. Help on the afternoon class ,wish I could have taken the class. I had to save myself for the Black belt class. Thinking its time for a massage ,will see how I am tomorrow.
Good day today I just have to remember my limitations. Still a little tight on the right leg. But all in all good.
Feeling good today, the right leg is about 80%. I did some leg stretches, it still a little tight but will be oh right. Some say mind over matter. But i sayMind over pain.
So I do believe my right leg is a little upset with me. Yes I might have push it a little this week, but the left leg is not complaining. Get over it right leg.
Not to happy right now. Pulled a muscle on my right leg tonight, may have to cut back on some kicks for a few days. Will see if this ibuprofen will help, if not oh well I keep on going. I LOVE PAIN.
So today I woke up and went to get out of bed and my leg said NOOO! Now that was a good work out yesterday. So I had breakfast and told my legs no pain no gain. Then went and got on the elliptical for 50 min and all was OK. Now the leg are happy.
Today was a fantastic day, took the lunch time class worked on leg, then went home and worked in the yard, then work on my requirements, then took the black belt class, and ended the day with the PMAA class.I feel awesome. I think I will sleep good tonight.
Just had awesome class tonight, RED STRIP NIGHT. Sure am glad I had a light day at work. Will have to keep some of these work outs in my book of fun.
