The TIG Finger showed up the other day - could've used it when welding the bike frame, especially since my depth perception still isn't at its best. The screwdriver bits are JIS bits - Japanese Industrial Standard. They look like Phillips bits but are made for the screws that hold Japanese motorbikes together. I got some JIS screwdrivers for Christmas a few years back but the bits will be useful in the drill motor, impact driver and Tee handle. I don't currently need them but I've got a couple of Jap bikes in the shed that if I live long enough may get moved into the shop.
Easing back into the training program. Brunch today was a fried egg sandwich on dark rye with a slice of cheese, and a couple of vegan sausage patties. I've been starting with some Tai-Chi exercises and dumbbell curls along with doing some work at the boxing gym once a week. I'm starting to feel some improvement but I've got a long way to go before I get the job as the circus strongman.
I think I might give up the race walking this year. I haven't put much effort into it the last couple of years, but I do want to do a couple of long bike rides - maybe a 50 miler or a metric century (61 miles). Time to get on a regular schedule: exercise first thing in the morning, breakfast, then put in at least four hours daily working on the projects.
