I thought this would be thoroughly entertaining. No seriously, I really think if I start taking kind of like “photo tours” of the stupidest things on the planet, people would like it. I certainly would. Not that going to the grocery store is stupid or anything, and believe me, I’ve seen stupider things in my […]

Too Many Herb Seeds
I didn’t know we had this many until I took them out to take pictures of them. Boy, we have a lot. I have no idea where we are going to put them all, but I’m sure we’ll find a place. But first, we need to get them germinated and set up for growth. That […]
Re-Potting Our Knock Out Roses
When we first bought our small Knock Out Rose bush in the one gallon container, I figured it would be an easy plant to manage. And believe me, I’ve had these plants before and I based my belief on my history with them. They are easy to manage, but I’m beginning to have doubts about […]
Fig and Mulberry Trees, Tomato Update and a Whole Lot of Seeds
We received a few small shipments this afternoon. Apparently, Laura has gone buck wild with ordering seeds. I didn’t know she did this. She told me about a few, but not all the ones I took pictures of and will post below. And she says that we still haven’t received the vegetable seeds. It’s good […]
Breaking the Lock Down and Practicing Passing Guard
Last night, we did more of what I described in my last post. We had three guys on the mat and three challengers attempting to pass their open guard. It’s a tough exercise, especially when you’re trying to put into action what you’ve just gone over. I already told you that we went over the […]
The Gardening Has Begun
For a few days now, I’ve been all stressed out about our future gardening endeavors. Laura makes fun of me, but my stress isn’t unfounded. The fact is, I’m not sure I’ve ever planted a piece of fruit or a vegetable successfully in my life. I’ve certainly tried, that’s for sure. But as far as […]
Practicing the Half Guard Escape and Sweep
Another good time last night, but nowhere near as grueling as the past few classes I’ve had to endure. While we did sweat, the doors were open to offer a slight (warm) breeze and we didn’t free roll at all. Not that I mind that – I actually prefer the strenuous side of BJJ. But, […]
Dan Faggella’s Inverted Guard
I found a video on the inverted guard the other day that I really wanted to share with you. It was put out by Dan Faggella and is quite unique when compared to about 99% of other Jiu-Jitsu videos out there. Take a look at it below and then I’ll explain why I said it […]
Low Level X-Pass by Jason Scully
Before heading off to class tonight, I’ve been reviewing some videos on the x-pass. I’ve seen a few pretty good ones over the weekend, so I have a couple of ideas I want to play with. Mainly leg position while blocking the potential de la riva guard and some simple hand position on the opposing […]
Bobcat In Back Yard – Palm Coast, Florida
Laura has been talking about this “cat” type animal she saw a while ago. I mentioned it and showed off some pictures of the prints it left here. While I’ve forgotten the ordeal, she’s apparently become somewhat obsessed. She hasn’t been able to pinpoint exactly what the animal was. I think she’s been secretly hopeful […]
