Tuesday Practice

 

NSB is a 'replenishing beach'. Here is the current project just south of 3rd Ave. Like kids building a sand castle on the beach. The Atlantic will just scoop it all up during the next north Easter at high tide. Oy!

The Details:

It was a little warmer this morning, it was 37 and the bird bath was not frozen. Yay!

The sunrise was at 7:12. The high tide was at 9:44 (3.1')

Notes:

I've spent the majority of the last two day's dealing with the furnace in Leyden. It was 4 degrees up there again this morning. The folks at Tognarelli Heating and Cooling were great and got the job done yesterday. Yay! There was a zone (Master bedroom and bathroom) that was frozen. I haven't heard yet if any of the pipes burst. Fingers Crossed that they were just frozen and we got the furnace working in time before they burst. It looks like there was a hot water pipe that burst in the ceiling of Ginnie's garage. They are supposed to go up and fix that at some point. Kristie will keep me informed as work progresses. At the moment the furnace is back working, we have an insurance claim in and Joel Tognarelli know's what the situation is. What a cluster _uck! 

We are setting up a new doctor here in NSB. We have our first appointments later this morning. Oh boy!

I haven't been out to the sunrise since the holidays. First I was too sick and then with the extreme cold and now I'm just out of the habit. I hope I can make one before our Maldives trip next Tuesday. It's coming up fast!

Jeff texted me that he had a pipe in his basement burst overnight. Oy Vey!

The Practice:

I had a very convoluted Round today with several interruptions.

I started inside with a brief Warm Up and Strength training. 

Next I went out to the backyard and did a Round Parts I & II reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I got interrupted by an upsetting phone call from Dave about the furnace problems in Leyden. I restarted Part III only to run out of time and ended up finish in Dr. Marks office while I was waiting for him. Not the best Round I've ever had but I did 'get it in'.

On my late afternoon QW on the beach I did mobility training at the half way point along with Anyo Tatlo and Seiunchin Kata and Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 5-8.

At the 21st Ave Walkover I did mobility and strength training before returning to the house.
