Monthly Post

Over the last month:


Been trying to figure out which turntable to get. Thanks to Dave for him lending me vinyl, his record player, and his analog ear for demos; sorry the turntables we demo'd smoked yours. Listening to Harvest on CD and vinyl, it was immediately apparent a record player was necessary. Bought some select titles I knew I'd want to get for the last demo, but now I have records and no player. Dave is having fun record-sitting for me, though.


Emeline turned 1. There was a barbecue.

Went back to Holden for work, twice. Had some moments with my knee both times. Not sure it's ever coming back 100%. May just need to start buying those gallon jugs of ibuprofen.

Started shopping for sea kayaks. They are expensive.

May was bike to work month, which motivated me to get back to bike commuting. Rode everyday, except when I went to Holden.

Finally, bought a mitre saw, which makes things much much easier.


This snowboard rack project was put off since February, but was done the first day I tried the mitre saw.

Back to researching kayaks and turntables.

nice nice nice. snowboard rack, quite a good idea. i also like your use of the mitre saw on the angled braces - that's what was holding you back obviously. the arms are metal shelf brackets? do they have a protective surface?

Yes, just metal shelf brackets. No protective surfaces. Most of these boards have seen rocks, rails, or skis across the topsheet, so I'm not too worried.
