Meeting Jon (part 2)

Klaus’ transformation in 5.5 years.

August 2018:

March 2024:

What’s your excuse?

[Horace]

I'm already too good looking. Losing weight would be unfair.

Bass is the boy’s.

Great pics!

Does he play Jazz?

[jon-nyc]

He has jazz class on Mondays. Last year he played upright bass but switched to guitar this year. Bass is just for orchestra now.

Glad you folks got to meet up.
So much has changed!
You folks look great in the pictures.

Klaus playing Schubert at the digital, Jon-nyc conducting.

[Horace]

I would never share space with a Biden supporter.

Tall critters, ain't they?

I’m 6’2” i’ve been with @jon-nyc @Aqua-Letifer @89th @Klaus and was the shortest guy in the room.

I must’ve been wearing my heels again. I’m 6’ 0”.

Another thing we did (be grateful we don’t have pics) is go to my gym Saturday morning, along with the boy.

Klaus and I got to spot him as he hit a new personal record of 160 on the bench press. Not bad for 14, no? He really only started taking the gym seriously 6 months ago.

What does he weigh?

[jon-nyc]

February 1st his max was 135. He’ll be pressing his weight by his birthday in June.

[Mik]

That’s great. I think the highest I ever got on the bench was 250

[Horace]

When I was his age I don't think I could bench 135. These days I can't bench because of my shoulder. But I can still military press. Current sets are at 150. Not sure how many more years my shoulders have in them for lifting, but I'll do it while I can.

Last week he hit 185. His goal is 200 by the time school starts again (he’ll be in 10th grade).

[Mik]

Wow! That's great.

[Horace]

Nice. How tall is he?

[jon-nyc]

He’s 5’ 10, 175.

[Jolly]

That's a pretty strong lad for that age. Bet he'd be good in the martial arts (which help with flexibility).

[jon-nyc]

He did karate until Covid. No interest now.

He wants to play basketball this next season.
