I felt empty by the time I arrived at the station near home. I swung fore and aft in strange posture. I leaned forward, I bent backward, then my body was lifted upward by my arms shrunk with distress. After I got off the train the stairs up to the overpass on the Senzan Line looked like a wall. Is this rock climbing to get across this railway? I thought I have been O.K. and relatively physically and mentally in shape. Actually now except that I'm exhausted by that stress, I don't feel so bad. Probably a series of stressful events on the train make me exhausted to that empty.

In order to clean up my room, reducing the amount of paper in it is critical. To dispose of unimportant paper, I scan it and convert it to digital data. I set the goal 1000 scanning by Christmas of this year.

Gasp! This is when I was set to write something, 2 hours after annual training session for skiing instructors. I, on the autism spectrum, with mental illness and with little acquaintance, was totally out of place. One thing good for me was that the course went on ahead schedule and dismissed 1 year earlier. Of course I enjoy skiing, but these years I'm feeling that I totally lack the skills and the aptitude to communicate how fun skiing is.

Finished speaker craft today. Speaker units: Fostex FE83-sol Enclosure: Yoshimoto Cabinet DB-80SS Side Slit Enclosure Kit Coated polyurethane 6 times, sanded before each coating, first with #180, then #320, #600, #1000, and finally #2000. Finally the surface become much smoother, but I couldn't go so far as to finish with mirror surface. It was not until then I attached terminals and speaker units. It took less than an hour, in contrast that I had to wait 6 days after the speaker units arrived, and 4 days after the enclosure kit arrived. I lost no time in listening to music with the speakers. I connected them to the amplifier, and play several musics. Vocal, piano, and many instruments were amazing. They sounded much vivider and warmer. Tomorrow I have to attend a training course for skiing instructors. I have no time to enjoy music tomorrow. That's too bad.

Coating speaker enclosure with water-based polyurethane. At first I was planning attach the speaker without painting, and if I want surface decoration, I was planning to use texture seals. Then I got advice that coating making sound better, so I decided to coat the enclosures. Since it was early winter, and I wanted to work inside my room, I chose water-based polyurethane. Now I'm on the second coating. After coating four or five times, I will attach the terminals and the speaker units to the enclosures. Then it will be time to enjoy new DIW sound!!

The monthly member meeting for this week, biggest task for this week is now over. I feel great but at the same time I'm gradually feeling tiredness. Sleep for this night may be the key to work through without any trouble.
