Today. So far:
- Talked to my Uncle
- Help Ichiro find his field guide to bees, hornets and wasps
- Ryoko went to get a haircut
- Caught up with NHL draft
- Scribbling some postcards
- Drinking traditional Chinese medicine tea

Project “Caboose” underway
Papers for project “Caboose” stamped (in 8 places) & signed
- Will commence next week (start with salt & saké ceremony)
- Prob 3-4 months (cheap & good, not fast)
- Using many legacy, natural and off-sale materials
- Much tidying to do soon + kohi station
So tired, oxygen. Need ♨️
PS all will be paid in cash because no one will give us any kind of bank loan. yikes
{I’m a foreigner with foreign investments, post bank acct & a disability pension and my miraculous wife runs her own business which doesn’t exactly show a huge profit anyhow}
But as Winston Churchill, Gandhi or Buddha said “never a lender nor a borrower be” or maybe it was old Ben Frank… Get all of those guys mixed up
Anyway, I’m sure it was written in papyrus font on a scroll I saw in Bali.
Oh wait, was prob HHTDL14.
Noting: With recent household development projects, realizing must significantly reduce expenses of:
1) records
2) books
3) postage stamps
These are my favorite things besides my darlings and sleep.
Good news is: this project should improve life for my darlings and my sleep.
PS sorry if I owe you money and if you owe me money, pay up (plz)
Truth is I’m a little nervous: I know the project is well planned, necessary and we’ve trimmed it to fit budget but more about my ability to contribute and “get through” this summer. I just haven’t bounced up since last September
In the meanwhile: Just stepping up our high-tech household money management system


And in anticipation of the numerous requests, “no, at this time I’m not offering any courses”
