Now, during this pandemic, I've never looked better. The mask helps.

A Double Exposure selfie when cooling down after some workout.


Hopefully it gets a bit colder as I'm going to do this daily the coming week(s) as long as there's snow.

-2°C is not really 'freezing' isn't it. A cold shower feels worse in my opinion.


I challenge you to do the same. It's good for building up a good immune system.


The tree behind me is the Sequoia that I planted with my daughters a couple of years ago, it was around 50 cm high, now he's around 3 meters I guess.

Temps early am were 84F with the heat index already at about 94F...The guy you see coming up behind me and passed me like I was standing still is a serious TT Rider from France whom is a Sri Coach in Sri Lanka.. Yes he did win with a overall speed I think that was close to 24.5MPH Quite honestly I am quite please with what I was capable of doing..

Amateur boxing, my main hobby. Pardon the look on my face, I was clearing my nose.

Nose clearing look.

Cleaned up and de-loused.
