After only 20 years my HVAC unit gave up the ghost. I was all for doing without heat as the wife an I spent the night sleeping in front of the fireplace with a nice fire, some wine, good music, good 
“go to sleep”. Nephew came out, made a sign of the cross over the outside unit, took me down to a distributor, Rheem, bought a new unit and had his people install it. Ran around the neighborhood a few times while they were installing it. Came back and the wife had cooked lunch for the crew. Back to the gym to “train” tomorrow.

New HVAC system’s installed. Threw a some wood in the fireplace and fired it up. Poured some Jameson’s, lit up a Villiger Braniff No. 2 Plus, a fairly inexpensive cigar. First time trying. Just average. Turning on the much overlooked classic “The Black Scorpian” I taped earlier. Another exciting Saturday night when your 65.

They opened the COVID-19 vaccine sign up for 65 and above today so signed up on-line and got put on the waiting list. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Figure after all the stuff they pumped into me in the military a little more won’t hurt. Went out to # 2 brother’s place to get some firewood. He’s got about 3 cords stacked and dried and a whole lot of fresh beech not cut. Family can take what you need but you’ve got to cut and stack an equal amount to replace it. Just got me about 1/2 a rick. Filled up my little Mazda truck. Beech cuts easy so wasn’t to hard chopping. Still between the loading, unloading, cutting and stacking it made for a full day. Did get some delicious enchiladas verdes and refried frijoles from #2 sister-in-law Esme for lunch. “Is Maria feeding you enough, you look a little thin”. It’s good to be the baby brother, sometimes.

Morning- 0500 - Kata/Poomse/Makiwara. Outside, .-5c or almost 31f, no shirt. Never, ever wake up, make coffee, review old, old, really old for some of you, Karate/TaeKwonDo training logs from 81-82 Japan, 82-83 Korea. Makes you feel soft, makes you feel old, makes you miss your lost youth, makes you stupid and go out half naked, gi bottom, in very cold freezing drizzling rain and train for an hour. Felt great afterwards though. Came in to a great breakfast and a wife just shaking her head and saying, “lumang tao pa rin mabaliw sa iyong edad” (old man you’re still crazy at your age).

A page from my Tae Kwon Do training, around '83. Trained at a very tradition dojang in downtown Daegu. you were expect to not only learn techniques but to understand the meaning of each poomse and how it should be executed. I was lucky enough to have several Korean friends who helped me translate from Korean to English. TKD

Really crappy weather but managed to get a 1.5 hour block at the Natatorium with it being Sunday and real ugly out. Did a straight hour slow swim and then breast stroked for another 20 minutes and then just splashed around like the crazy old men in Caooon. Followed up with a 1.5 mile run. Got home to the wife’s Caldereta and pancit.

Woke up to a winter wonderland. Roads iced over and then covered with snow
Had reconciled myself to some kata in the back when great nephew down the road shows up on his dad’s Polaris 2 seat ATV looking for breakfast. Schools were closed and his parents slept at the hospital they work at to make sure they’d be there when the roads closed. Couple of glasses of chocolate milk and off to cousin Mike’s gym. Went most of the way through the woods, bridge over the river was very icey, but made it with only a few swerves. Put on a pot of coffee, cranked up the stereo, had a good work out. Went home after and wife fed us waffles, ham and eggs. Good day.

Damn Harry you’re in good shape. Lifting, swimming, jogging and martial arts. Snow covered roads are no big deal but when they ice up that gets scary.

Since I’m retired/retired with plenty of time on my hands and all my competitions are closed down until after the virus I decided to keep busy, and out of trouble, by working more on my cardio, health, and catch up on my MA training.

50 Min swim/2.5 mi run. The day was just plain beautiful. Planned on running 1.5 mi but it was so nice out just kept going for 1 more. Got a letter in the mail from the Tennessee Senior Olympics saying they’re shooting for a state meet in July. Thinking about it.

Another even more beautiful day. Couldn’t help myself. Threw some discuses and shots in the truck and headed out to the throwing field at the local college.
discus-wu - 10 standing easy throws
10 power positon throws - no reverse
10 slow spins w/reverse
Shot-wu - 10 face front throws
10 power position throws
10 full glide throws for form
Never went full out bodies not ready for it. Probably going to feel it in the hips and shoulder tomorrow.
