Day 2 soloflex and free weights

First day out of isolation activities: grocery store (success, but a bit surreal), paint store (fail, you have to order naked paint on line, pick it up curb side, then send it back for tinting. I’ll just wait to redo the bathrooms), sewing store (fail, no needles in stock - probably an online order).

After a coat of clear on Vinnie I went out to see what the area looks like. More people than usual, with maybe 20% wearing a mask. Mostly good distancing.

Newmarket has all park parking open. They just closed playgrounds and dog parks, and put up distancing reminders every few hundred metres. East Gwillimbury closed their portion on the trail.

The most interesting thing was that all but one of the houses in the area with for sale signs up were sold.

A bit breezy, but nice to get out of the back yard.

Day 1 soloflex and free weights

Bled all over the chair I was building today. Nothing major, but without a recent blood test, I believe my blood is a bit thin. Edges of screws cause tiny cuts which leak longer than is ideal.

I also got Vinnie’s frame all cleaned up and two coats of yellow and one of green. I’ll mask and add orange tomorrow if it stays nice long enough. Forks have two coats of clear over the somewhat amateur paint job. I might eventually sand it down and redo it, but the whole exercise was just a practice ground before trying to give the recumbents a cool paint job.
