I got my flag out early in the morning for Flag Day, even though since I live almost a quarter of a mile off the road no one saw it besides the Missus and I. I've been pledging allegiance to the flag since I was a pup and even though I'm not pleased with the way things are going in the country currently, I take my pledge seriously. At this point in time I don't know what I can do to make things better other than hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
I started on the new tongue for the Go-Go carrier. I used the mag-drill for drilling the 5/8" holes. I drilled the first one in the square tube with a hole saw but it walked off the center line. Fortunately, I hadn't cut the tube to length yet, so I switched ends and drug out the mag-drill. The plates in the photo were tacked together so the holes would be sure to line up. Since the photo was taken, both plates were cleaned up and are ready to weld. Next up is to cut the tube pieces and then weld it all together. Shouldn't take long for that.
Two of the boxers Coach Jen and I've been working with fought today - both guys won. Pretty happy with that.
My old boxing coach passed away a few days ago. He had a good amateur carrer and as a pro he even fought at Madison Square Garden. Nice guy, local legend, helped a lot of young men over the years. Rest in peace, Johnny. And thanks.
