We stop to visit the Cabazon dinosaurs on 80% of our California trips, whether it’s on the way in or on the way out. It’s a tradition and to be honest, I turn in to Mrs. Grumpy Pants if we don’t have time to stop. #sorrynotsorry A photo is always a must and it has… Read More #adventuregang – The Dinosaur Tradition

I’m just posting a picture update today of the garden for progress tracking purposes. The green onions decided to grown an inch over the last week, yay!

It ended up being… Read More The Gardening Chronicles – February 20th 2021
Tonight Coach had us working on getting our guard back from side control in the gi. He calls it “the Dana guard”, after his wife, Coach Dana (that’s her real name… COACH DANA… jk).

I can never seem to get the proper angle and I end up submitting myself with a weird ass ankle lock instead. BUT TONIGHT – tonight it clicked during drills. I only fumbled a… Read More Jiu Jitsu Journal – February 12th 2021
Guard retention, guard retention, guard retention. Maybe if I say it enough times it will just be drilled into my brain. Maybe?
