Cleaning Fitness / Crossfight

Normally I write my blog on Thursday evenings about the ins and outs of our Dojo. This time an exception, it's Wednesday late afternoon and after returning home from another day of Dojo I plopped down on the couch, got rid of my work clothes and sat back and watched the replay of Peacock that I had missed last night. After half an hour I made the walk to my shower room to freshen up a bit. My hands are covered in paint and even after a good shower I can still see remnants of paint. Had used a brush for my hands but even that didn't help properly, so think it will come off in bed. The paint on my hands is because I have put the finishing touches to the painting of tubes that have been applied to the sides of the 2 frames where the former toilet stood.

Cleaning Fitness / Crossfight
On Monday, together with Abman, we started to close the ceiling. Because the toilets and the space for them have been demolished and the corners are neatly filled with the frames, all that remained was to finish the suspended ceiling. Because our house contractor, Daan van de Kamp, dies in the work itself, we took the plunge to do this job together with Ab. Quite a hassle to do this, but we are satisfied with the result. Tuesday was used to make the tubes while the rest of the team, Jerry, Ab, Reggie and Mark used the day to give the Dojo a good cleaning. All windows have been cleaned, a job that Jerry took on and made a big mistake. All window frames in both the Crossfight and the Fitness as well as all glass screens and there are quite a few, look presentable and clean again.
The toilets have been given an extra cleaning and all fitness equipment has been thoroughly overhauled. Was quite necessary because with a daily visit of between 250 and 300 athletes per day, quite a bit of dust is moved. In other words, quite a successful day last Tuesday. On Thursday, the Fitness will finally be redesigned, something that would have been done countless times but for some reason this did not happen.
Last Saturday I saw that Arno Nikkels posted a message on Facebook where he explained his annoyance about the mess at the dumbbells and also put a picture with it after the place was cleaned up a bit. I completely agree with his comment, especially the heavier dumbbells that lie on the floor under the rack, Dumbells between 35 and 50 kilos, are often crooked and crooked. In the past regularly laid well, but for a 70-year-old that is no longer an option, so please see it as the completion of your exercise and put them back neatly.
The view also wants what not, such a rack where everything is crooked is not a sight!

Top gym
Last Tuesday evening I was in the car with Jerry and then he said: Dad glad that we are now expanded for the time being because it all costs quite a bit of money so for the time being I am taking it easy with spending. What was my surprise, that same evening I read a message on Facebook where he told me that he, even though he was affordable, had invested again in the Fitness.
I can understand it all because Jerry's goal is that Burning Heart is a Top Gym where everyone should feel at home.

Drone
In between another busy week I also made time to experiment with our new toy, the Drone. It's unpredictable what such a relatively small thing can do. Even with quite a bit of wind, it hangs quietly in the air and then changes position like a rocket when I use the joysticks. Now, unlike Jerry, I am a lover of quiet images, so I will not go full throttle much, although the Drone reaches a speed of more than 70 km. per hour and can cover up to 6 km. height. The first serious images are those of the redesigned Crossfight room should this indeed happen this Thursday.
