What I’m Doing Now.
- My Nova Drill press is set up and working. This makes rakusu rings a lot easier because I don't have to find rides and time to go to the community shop to use their drill press.
- Walking is more enjoyable than ever. Zivon is spending a lot of time with his drag leash. We are interacting more, and that keeps his attention on the walk. I take him on a sniffari, and that keeps him happy.

HEALTH & VISION
- I've been focusing on my step count — 11,723 average steps per day this week. This is something I want to focus on and keep up. This will mean I will be walking without Zivon and Mary, taking the bus downtown and walking back. I'm going to institute a 10-minute "fart" post-dinner walk with Zivon.

WOODWORKING
- Rakusu ring orders have been piling up. I have 12 back orders I'm working on.
Hat tip to David Sparks for the idea for this “Now” page. I’m not great at social media, but this page lets me check in with the world and update you, as David recommends, just as I would when catching up with an old friend.
