Thank you to everyone who helped clean out the storage when our HVAC decided it was a great day to try to ruin our gear, floor, and bathroom ceiling. It's just stuff, but never a fun scenario!

We got the unit drained and drying out and have a repair person lined up. Out apologies in advance to the class tomorrow that gets to kick it old school with no AC!!

On the plus side, we always planned on doing a good clean; we just upped our timing ! ...... Not gonna lie, could have done without the ruined drywall though.

I'll be posting some of the gear to give away soon, as we do have too much anyway. This just solidified what is worth cleaning.!

We will line up a plan to get some of the carpentry repairs done as well, but until after Kobe and I are back.

Stay tuned!!

T-minus 1 week to get to Vancouver then fly out. I'm honored and excited to bring Mr Kobe on his first Korea trip. I was only slightly younger than him when I took my very first over seas trip, also to South Korea. Let's hope this is an ongoing tradition for years to come to keep our training fresh and pure from the source!!
