...his desert cooler. :-)
As I said in my last post, my broken, rusted, and ignored desert cooler is growling at me from the balcony each time I pass it by. This weekend is going to be a full blown restoration week...very interesting...already have a list of things to purchase and
It is all the more satisfying when you do something by yourself and then see it work. No one on-hire is going to pay as much attention as much as you can to the thing that you want to get done. Strange as it may seem, it takes much less skills to fix something by yourself than what most of use believe.
The best way to know the skills needed to achieve a minor fix can only be known by attempting it. So tomorrow I will be brushing, sanding and painting the old frame of my cooler. Maybe next weekend it will be ready to roll. I am expecting this overhaul to last at least three seasons without needing any further maitenance.
Enough talk about this cooler task
Few days ago I started to miss my gym! I decided that rather than spending the first month at slow conditioning, I should try to condition myself at home itself and then get a head-start at the gym. But by mistake, I have been a little overenthusiastic the first day of my home routine and the result is that I am sore in most of my muscles now and had to take off for a couple of days. Lesson is that home exercise also has enough potential to train us if done regularly.
I will be happy to share my ideas of home exercise if readers wish to. A half an hour workout for whole major body parts without any props and equipment! Learned that from those months I have been spending in gym over past few years. :-)
So while my muscles recuperate during the night, I will prepare myself for the tomorrows Tweaking. Till I finish that,
See ya!
