Hana Hou: The Duct tape challenge…

167


want to thank Kawai-san for the beautiful box of sweets!

i think i’m gaining weight big time. haha. so delicous…

want to thank Michi-san for sending me the Hawaiian Airlines flight magazine. Hana Hou!

so happy to see my Nephews still the talk of the town. the boys are in almost every magazine you could think of.

the article was about Coach Rainos Hayes. a very dedicated man how loves to pass on his coaching knowledge to the youth. and it’s proving to be very successful!

from Groms to Greatness…

if it wasn’t for saran wrap, i wouldn’t be able to go into the water and work. of course the doctor doesn’t recommend it, but this is pretty much the only way to do it. in this case, i used Japanese saran wrap because it’s not as wide as the American one.

first i vaseline the hole in my leg, put on bandages, then saran wrap it carefully. omg, look how swollen my foot is!!! omg!

then the magical multi-purpose duck tape. this thing works wonders…

i did this successfully for 3 days in a row. it helped with keeping the water out, but it made the pain 5x more because the blood couldn’t flow. my foot could’t breathe and was almost unbearable!!! but like i said, this was the only way. and no, this isn’t for everybody. people call me crazy, people call me stupid, but i’m neither. it’s called getting the job done. and this wasn’t the first time i did it…
