check out this bug i saw the other day at tokushima. this one must be in the early 1950’s. all original in and out. i think japan does the best at restoring volkswagons. gosh, i wish this one was mine…..

we call this a baby window or oval window. and those little lights in the back are called “heart-shaped egg lights”. those lights cost big bucks and are so hard to find….

right between the windows are the blinkers or “semi-fours”. when you turn on the blinker, it pops out and the light flashes. old school… and get this, this bug was sitting there all day with the windows down. this wouldn’t last 10 minutes in a parking lot in hawaii. once you turn your head, it would be gone. somebody would rip it off and you will never see your baby again…..

i got my new guns for this years typhoon season. a 6’4 and 6’8 matchi shaped tssc boards. freaking can’t wait to ride them….

do i look happy? i think so…..

matchi told me he takes 8 hours to make a board for me. i’m so stoked he puts so much time and effort into it. here is 16 hours of hard work. thanks matchi….

good morning. it’s 3:30am and pitch dark outside but i can hear the waves pounding on the beach. i’m going surfing. have a nice morning and a nice day….

these are the medicine for my eyes. the one on the left was the one my doctor gave me to stop the spread of the pterigum. i think it worked. there is still some white stuff on my eye that probably has to get scraped off when i get surgery. the eye drop on the right is called “Naphcon A”. you can find this in any drug store over the counter. this is the best eye drops ever. it cost $12 but worth every drop. i would look drunk everyday without this….
***did you know it cost $290,000 to raise a child until he or she is 17 years old in america? so the next time you want to raise a child in america, you better have a good job. or rich parents. haha… just wanted to take this time to say “thanks mom”….
