In the words of Mick Jagger “ This could be the last time , maybe the last time , I don’t know “

I had a friend come for a visit a few weeks back while I was laying this strap out . He bought it before I even got it cut out !
I am good for no more than 15 to 30 minutes every day or two before my body shuts down . Drove me crazy as my mind is still sharp and full of project ideas . I really , seriously had to muster up everything in the tank to finish this strap .
