Rang the bell at a funeral. We only have the one bell....

I’m learning campanology! We have six bells.

Cool! It's good fun

 

[Gyakuto]

Cool! It's good fun

It’s a bit frightening, actually!

Well, it's quite safe as long as you remember to let go of the rope while it's going up

 

[Gyakuto]

Putting the bells up, putting them down…scary biscuits!

Made butternut squash soup for dinner. It was delicious. A little sweet. A little savory.

Olive oil and fresh cracked pepper on top

I go to a place sometimes that use that combo and also some apple for taste. So good.

Butternut squash curry with rice and mango chutney for lunch. Did really badly on my run, but I got a load of brambles pulled up, so it's swings and roundabouts

Also, there is nothing- NOTHING- as obnoxious as two dancers who have been partners for over a decade watching strictly

heading out for a meeting to get the number for retirement...see if it is 2025, 2026 or 2027.... I know it can be anytime in 2025, but finding out how much of a difference there between the 3 years

Fingers crossed for you.

Can be as early as June 2025. Tentatively it will be around the same time in 2026. However if things are OK it might go to spring 2027, but no further.

Comes down to this, after my boss retires, if I am left alone, there is no reason to rush, but if I am harassed, there is no reason to stay.

I have one more call to make to HR to find out about insurances, that will decide for sure if it is 2026 or 2027

@Xue Sheng i saw this at target and bought a box of it. Is this OK or do you consider this an abomination? Also do you like pork buns?

I try to collect all the blocking into a drill. This is what I come up:

1. Left downward parry, right punch.
2. Right block/grab/pull, left punch.
3. Left upward block, right punch.
4. Right downward block, left punch.
5. Left reverse comb hair, right punch.
6. Right comb hair, left palm strike.

My wife would not buy them..... and neither would I for the same reason she has....she makes them herself...better....

But if it is all you got, it is all you got.... If I was not married to a Chinese person, I would probably give them a try myself....but from my current perspective...... BLASPHEMY!!!!!

I can go as early as tomorrow... but need to land with benefits. Planning to be gone by mid-25. If not sooner.

I have an exercise that combines our basic stance, stepping, blocking, and punching drills.

based on age I can go anytime as well.... but with the time correction I want 30 years before I go.... started 32 years ago, but I left for a bit, and had 2 leaves of absences.... so 30 is about 1/2 way through next year. The only other thing I have to find out about is health insurance coverage and what the differences are. If negligible, I'll go in 2026. If the corp starts being. PIA after my boss retires, I'll go in 2025. If things are ok and there is a big difference in coverage, then I go 2027.

Did find out my retirement percentage decreases by 0.5% after 30 years.

I hit 25 in January. Health insurance is my primary hold up at the moment...
