Black Belt Pre-Test and Free Comic Book Day

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01585

Last year I completely forgot to go to Free Comic Book Day. This is something I have been taking the kids to forever. And I completely forgot. Well, today we were able to come back and enjoy the festivities over at Wild time Comics. On the way out we asked the cosplayers if we could get a photo with them. REally nice costumes and very fun people. We had a nice time.

Of course, I wasn’t too sure if I was gonna make it to Free Comic Book Day today because I had my Krav Maga Pre-Test this morning. I have been so nervous about it because this is the stage where I failed my first time attempting to earn my black belt. It’s been over a year and a half since then, I’ve been working as hard as I can towards this goal, running before every class with my partner, taking an extra class each week and more. I could still do more to attain this goal and I am stepping things up in the coming month.

The test was intense. We did about an hour and a half of striking and then about an hour of self defense and that included drills and so much. Then at the end we did our mile run, pushups, squats and planks. I did 10:44 on the run, not as good as I wanted to do, 40 push ups, again I was not completely pleased with that, 82 squats which is 100% so that was good, and 1:38 for the plank, which was double what I did on the evaluation so that was good. MY partner did the whole 4:20 plank. Then we were done. However, we do not find out if we move on until this coming week. I really hope that I did. I think I did a good job, I worked as hard as I could through the test, I hope it was enough.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
