New Boxing Shoes

A couple of years ago I got my first pair of Hayabusa boxing shoes for Krav. I got them before my black belt test. I had tried several different shoes before them and they never worked quite the way I wanted. The Hayabusa ones worked out very well but I wore them out and ripped both shoes recently. So, it was time to get new ones.

This time I picked not just blue shoes but blue and yellow ones. I like how they look like they could go with an overall Wolverine from the X-Men aesthetic. However, that would mean buying some new Wolverine themed gloves. I’m not ready for new gloves yet. I probably should have gone with the black and red ones to go along with my Iron man gloves. If they had red and gold that would have worked even better.

I noticed today that the lilies have started blooming around the yard. I’ve also noticed that they have begun to spread out more, which I want to happen. More lilies around means more beautiful flowers and less ugly weeds. The patch of lilies where we have the cats buried has not begun to bloom quite yet but soon enough we’ll see those as well.

I noticed today that my grill hasn’t been working very well so I have ordered some replacement parts and will be replacing the gas tubes and hoods so hopefully it will work better once again. IT took forever tonight to grill a steak and even then just didn’t feel quite right, even though it was clearly cooked.
