it is my favourite food festival of all time!!!
I used to get involved with work sponsored stuff on weekends during visits. Incredible culture of being a big family. Funny being the only gaijin on our team in inter company sports fixtures, baseball and volleyball mostly. Or being one of the people in the heirarchy at adults day where employees children celebrate coming of age. Hugely different culture.View attachment 407036
While we guess that alcohol is a food... we have been involved with a small food matsuri (festival) in Japan for a number of years { note - written documents suggest this festival is over 400 years old} .... and one of the highlights was being on the front page of the local newspaper { look fo the least Japanese person in the image}.... although covid, life and a bunch of crap has got in the way... hoping to get back this year or next year to catch up with a bunch of great people.... If you do go to japan, search the local area for "matsuri" and if you can put your phone away for a short time and dive in..... you will be rewarded with a fantastic experience....
Our little man is having a sleep over tonight. Today we did nearly a two hour ride, with him on the Kids Ride Shotgun seat on my Process. So much fun, he loves it. This time I didn't bother with the mini kids handlebars, he just hung onto mine. But, I am constantly under the pump to go faster and pass Grandma. Who's in front?... We are! When we got home, he broke out his balance bike and belted around our place. I particularly like where he parked it.

At least you have a clearing to put a bike stand in yoursLong overdue grease and oil change.
Well, when I say long overdue, I'm no longer doing 50 hours a month on it, more like 100 hours a year.

Bugger me, my shed is fucking disgraceful. Eww.
I'm saying nothing as an old teacher of mine once said, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and my shed is like Elsa's crystal palace. It took me a few years to understand it as I was only in year four at the time.At least you have a clearing to put a bike stand in yours
