since l've left the frame bear metal for long time....
and l moved to a coastal area, all metals started to
rust faster than l anticipated..
good motivation to finish the detail and give a coat.
OK, how about I'll post some photography just for the sake of filling up the time.
I mean, you did click several times, exhausting your finger to get here....
life can change in any directions, magnitude.
There is no hint or guessing involved in choosing the right path... or the path that is known to be the right one.
We'll see if my direction of life is the correct one, and also going to be the best one that there is.
needle scratching the plastic engraving, producing the magical sound of music...
the world of physical memory and no electrical modem...
nothing compared to a broken ipod...
there was an obvious reason for the absence. nothing on my end, but there are unbelievable loads of world-suck in Japan.
some new friend to introduce. table size mini-lathe. finally got one of these tool in my garage. getting some stuffs done thanks to this heavy machine.
took a while, but got the cabinet/drawer completed. And in the mean time, finished a long working table that matched the height of the cabinet. Looks alright.
in a matter of three hours. good as new?
the brand is called "St. George Hollywood" as far as i know, it is from the 60s in Japan.
can't wait for trying it out with the full set.
finally got to visit Long Beach Antique market and found some good conditioned vintage snare drum.
made in japan... well that's not the only factor for buying this but more of recoverable condition and the potential in better quality.
Quick stay at Monterey, and off to Morro Bay. Well, not a long drive, just 110 miles driving on the coastline. But obviously, we took some detours taking photos and arrived at Morro Bay at 7pm.
モントレーではそれほど時間を過ごさなかったけど、いざ110マイル南のモロベイへ向かうと寄り道。写真を撮りながら南下して結局ついたのは夜の7時。
We took a great amount of time wondering around downtown San Fransisco and took off to Monterey in the afternoon. But we took the coastline and made several stops at the beach for some more photos...
午前はサンフランシスコの街を散策。午後にはモントレーへ出発。海沿いを走り、ビーチがあれば止まり撮影。
Woke up, got some miracle shots, and left Mt. Shasta to San Fransisco... Such a sudden change in environment...
朝起き、奇跡のような写真を撮り、シャスタに別れを告げサンフランシスコへ。周りの環境が一変・・・
Woke up, little rain, fog and not a single view of Shasta. So we wondered off to a lake and took some photos. Tomorrow is the last day!
朝起きて外を見れば雨と霧。シャスタは姿を現さず・・・結局、湖の周りを散策。明日はシャスタでの最終日。
Tried to drive around the mountain and failed because of the snowed road. But got some several locations for the great shot.
山を回りこもうとしたけど雪に阻まれ断念。でも、いくつかの撮影ロケーションを確保。後はタイミングを計るだけ。
Left Kingman and got to Reno. 550mile drive and it was some exiting day! Wanted to go to bathroom so bad on some road on the 95. We looked around this small town and saw a vintage bike displayed on the window. We stopped there and realized that it was closed. But as we got there, the store owner just came. He (Jeff) was staying in Vegas since Christmas and he just came back to open up the store!! Got to see some awesome bikes and got to hear some fun plans for that store and the town. I shall return... hopefully with my finished bike.
