I usually listen to a CD in the truck during my commute, rather than the radio - no commercials and nothing but my favorites. I don't go too long without listening to some jazz, and Mose is often the first one I turn to. This cut is from the CD The Earth Wants You, which is a collection of tunes about life as an elder. Something I can relate to. I did get the results from my blood work last evening. Everything came back A-Okay. Cholesterol 148. Since the heart attack it's never been above 150 - something to be said for a decent diet and regular exercise.
I finished up the mount for the speedbag platform. The two angles with the slots will get painted today and that'll finish it. The square tube has a pretty thin wall thickness but the angle bracing should stiffen things up to cut vibration. If you want a fast rebound on the bag, you need to have a solid platform. This one will be a couple of thick particle boards glued together. Should give good action and it's adjustable in height - can't have a boxing gym without a speedbag.
I still need to make the chin-up bar and sled. I've started on the sled but just barely. Now that the speedbag job is done, I'll pick up the pace on that one.
I haven't forgotten about the vintage trials bike. I'll get a little bit more done on that this week as well.
