準備オケ！（。。最初地図を忘れて一回戻って来たけど。。）
最初のキャンプ。全然寝られなかった。。（ウェーリングスケートパークの奥の森だから。。うるさかった）
東海岸にある島で、馬が好きに生きているみたい。。辛かったりしたら噛まれる。。島は一応
三日目かな。。
デラウェア州で水泳！やっぱり年に一回は一日だけでも海で泳がなきゃ！
最後の日のキャンプ。テントが朝の霧でぬれて、チムの乾かし方。。微妙
最後の朝、キャンプした後、準備オッケ！やく１７００マイル走って来た。楽しかった！俺はそろそろこのバイクのタイヤーを交換しないと。。
Decided to put a new rear end on my CL. Wasnt ever that happy with it in the first place and the seat was bad.... Put a fender on it? Hmm......
Down home on the ranch. I will move out to the country again one day (minus the horses).
Calista loves the to be the passenger on these go karts......but today she has become a driver! 
Me and Calista about to jump the hill! YEAAAAH!!
This buggy was not meant for a 10 year old but with a little modification.......BOOM!
Oh yeah, rollin' fast! Where did she learn this from? HaHaHaHa......
So cute!
Thank you for the tasty treats! The postcard to the left is for her show that is going on now in Tsukuba. 
I took this as I was saying goodbye. What is she thinking?
So while I was wiring the bike Hutch got a little crafty. Don't be fooled by the cute face and flower like shapes.......these are deadly
The best veggie burger I have ever eaten. Everything is made in the store, including the bun. The burger patty is small but is complimented by a succulent slice of marinated daikon.... If i lived close to this place, I would be a poor, poor man.
And with the lunch set comes a few daily sides which change with the seasons and are always vegan! 
YEAH! I love these little cakes of joy!
Store front picture. They always sell th regular Manju and Matcha Manju but on this day they had 3 seasonal items, Plum, Peach, and Black sesame seed!
Sampling is very important. You must try each one I think I bought about 50 Manju. Soooo good....We need one of these stores in America!
I try to come here every year, it is a ritual. It is close to where I went to school.... The person working the register on this day was no Japanese....she complimented me on the quality of my Japanese. Masaru Laughed, I felt strange.
Larry brought his bike back to get a few things done.
This is what the old gauges looked like.
Here are the new gauges. I think they match the overall look of the bike way better than the stock ones....
Here is what is next. This left carb has a ripped diaphram which makes for crappy idling and a little bit-o-backfire. I am waiting till it gets cooler tackle this one. Also, something I haven't seen before, this is sticking...not sure why. Seems like the spring might be done....lubed it up earlier but nothing changed. I have an extra carb.... so if all else fails.... I'll get her to you by tomorrow Larry I promise!
Got about 3 hours of sleep. Black tea and ginger kept me warm tilll the sun came up.
Good old back country Indiana (and Ohio).
Small little baby apartment that is actually big! This same room would cost a grand a month in Tokyo, in Tsukuba, not so much. Your bedroom here will be close to this size.
Yes, cooking. This is Iron Chef Masaru and his single burner kitchen version of Miso soup. It was good Masaru, your face on the other hand, kind of scary......
This one is for Mr.Best-- 
Raining, gloomy, Japan is mourning its loss...I am going home
Meals on planes. If you order a special meal of any kind on a plane, you tend to get it about 15 to 20 minutes before everyone else depending on where you are sitting. This can be a good thing, or if your like me, you feel bad and wait till the people next to you get theirs...
My middle seat flight companion pointed this out to me while I was engrossed in reading. Thanks! Nothanks though for taking up the arm chair and half of my seat the entire way home.
Puzzle pieces and fuzz balls. Wing-in pic from the plain. Detroit I believe?
