I was cleaning up under my house and found an old dirty suitcase.  I opened it up and out came a million memories!!!   Was pretty cool looking at some of my old trophies from the 1980’s.  

I looked at it, did some reminiscing, put it back in the suitcase, and said goodbye.  Those were some of the greatest times of my life.

Filled up the truck with other things I will no longer need.  Then heading to the dump to throw it all away.

As for this speargun, I will keep it until the end because I need this to survive.  I hope to catch some food soon.

Kaito-kun on his very first surf session of his life.  Seeing a photo of his smile like this makes me so happy.  It reminds me of the very first time my Step-Father took me surfing at Haleiwa.  I remember being this happy too!  

The plan is to go to Japan every cherry blossom season for the rest of my life.  

And experience the deepest parts of Japan spiritually and mentally.  

And to stop and observe every living color. 

And to eat what ever fruit is in season.  In this case, strawberries!  I already ate a years worth in Japan so I’m good till next year.    

Bali is on my list of once a year travel too.  I miss eating street food.

30 years ago this cost 25 cents.  Now it cost 35 cents.  Just a little inflation but you won’t find a cheaper meal than this.  And it’s delicious!  

And between trips, working on little projects will continue.  I installed so much flooring these past 3 years that I can open up my own flooring business.  One company quoted me $1,000 to do my kitchen so I just did it myself.  Took a few hours and when it was done, it felt like a big accomplishment.  Now I can use that money to travel!
