Say hello to my 8th grade teacher Mr. Takabayashi.  46 years later and still loving life.  My inspiration.

Good morning 5am.

Have a wonderful day!

Spent the early morning in the gym doing kettlebell exercises.  Just another addition to my morning routine.

Went out in the ocean after working out trying to max out my motors.  Full throttle going super fast.  All of a sudden, I see 5 heads pop up right in front of me.  Boats don’t have brakes so I had to take a hard left turn.  I barely missed them.

Why are there a group of swimmers in the middle of the ocean?  Aren’t they supposed to have a buoy?  It’s so hard to see small heads in the ocean when the sun is still rising.  I was 3 seconds from running over that group of swimmers and they didn’t even know.  GET A BUOY!

Next was to finish up fixing my Aunties dryer.  I went to the appliance parts store and right when I walked in, I saw one of my old school surfer friends.  He saw me and ran out the door.  Five minutes later, he came back with a hot box of fresh Leonard’s malasadas for me.

Thank you Todd!  It was nice to see you after all these years.

Went to my Aunties house.  Replaced the broken parts and started putting everything back together.

I plug it back it, press the start button, and it worked perfectly!  Now I know how to fix washers and dryers.  So stoked!

Oil was leaking today.  Next project for Mayuki is to change all the seals in the tilt and trim cylinders.  It’s a pretty big job and I’m going to do it myself.  Going to save thousands of dollars and going to keep learning and learning.
