I have been burning off a lot of excess energy in the last year during my Krav Maga classes. It is really intense training, but I would recommend it anyone. I almost got sick a few times from the extreme effort you have to operate at. I thought I was ready to handle Carl’s frontal attack, but he just knocked me down like I was nothing. Looking forward to learning how to fend off attacks like this in the next year.

With over 100 dives each under our belts we thought it was time to kick it up a notch, and decided to hit Roatan. What a great trip. We stayed at Anthony’s Key Resort and it was fantastic. The whole operation was finely tuned. The food was great and we got to visit the dolphin research institute next door. This picture is from a shark dive we did on the far side of the island.
We were super lucky and saw three whale sharks. They are something like 10 meters long and so powerful. One flip of their tail would send you tumbling through the water. They kept diving and resurfacing. We must have spent at least 30 minutes with these gentle giants of the ocean.
Our cabana was right on the water and the hammocks were great for winding down after a long day diving.
I can’t stop laughing at this. PSH brought a lot of joy to the world. RIP
My flight lessons have been going well. Today I did my first solo flight. It wasn’t nearly as frightening as I imagined it would be. I had some Maiden cranked up and did a nice loop out over Fountain Hills and landed without any problems. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for inspiring me Bruce! Time for a beer!
I completed my 300th jump and decided to start base jumping. I was a bit nervous, but it went as well as it could. It was a bit colder than I expected but my adrenaline was pumping so hard I was burning up.
Liz and I can finally make pretty consistent Mozzarella. The trick is to make sure all the temperatures are spot on and we swear by using raw milk. It can be hard to find, but boy howdy, it sure makes a difference. What beer do you think would pair well with this?
Liz and I have been diving for over a year now. We finally found the time to hit the Maldives. It was a magnificent trip. The diving was great, the food was fantastic and we met so many interesting people from around the world. A special shout out to Gustavo, it was so neat hearing about Argentina and your family. We hope we get see you again on some trip in the future. Salud!

Remember the old monster trading cards? I was feeling a bit nostalgic and just got back from a rat rod show, so I drew this. Time for a beer!
