Israeli wine

These are present from our common friend. Olive oil and wine both from Israel.

It was my surprise to drink it. Too good to drink!

5 stars!!!

I would like to see check the detail though,

impossible to read the Hebrew character for me...

Middle of Golden Week

How do you spend your GW, guys? About me, I think it is good time to be with my kids especially second daughter. It was difficult for me to have a time with her on weekdays.

Stray baetis's spinner. She and I watched it well in a glass.

Sorry for keeping you inside. Have a good time.

SHIBAZAKURA in our garden is getting end. 

ROUBAI looks fine this year. Please keep going.

Nice hair!

She is good walker around our house.

Our small kitchen garden is getting lively.

Sometime the rain helps the young green look beautiful.

With my second daughter on my back

to let her sleep, walked down to the river 15min in the rain. Seeing the river condition and disappointed too much...

Likely you don't have to get up so early tomorrow, Lance

Cloudy sometimes raining,

I know it will be the best day for fishing today like such weather. Before that, you have lots of things to do, Lance.

Rearrangement of storage room has been well done, good job Lance.



Go DARVISH, Go!!

CHIANTI

4 stars

This is not my choice but my wife's, who can drink after long time interval because of a breast-feeding a baby. She seemed to pick the hottest selling items of the shop. Bitterness and sourness were well balanced, very easy to drink. The reason why I didn't rank it 5stars was probably poor impact I think.

Panini for lunch

Basilico , Mozzarella and Tomato played golden harmony. Good job, honey!

Hooked on tennis

New tennis racket for my sweetie, and new shoes for me. We really hooked on tennis recently. I have to set my finances in order...

Starved for the fish

Can't stop the early bird fishing anymore... (5:30-7:00)

by #18 KOKAGE para

Good reactions for the smaller sized fly today.

Enjoyed the tender green also.

Lots of KOKAGE's spinners this morning.

They made me happy also, thanks.

Bike trailer after long time time

Do you wanna ride on the trailer, my sugar? It was about five and half years interval to use it, since we enjoyed it in Boise last time.

Lots of people was surprised to see it, because the trailer itself is very rare in Japan.

I guess it must be my last ride to FONDRIEST. Thank you for giving me lots of fun things!

My wife having her own road bike couldn't ride on it today because of a backache. Poor honey...  Let's biking together  next time.

Test of new wading shoes

Test time from 5:30-7:00. Fit feeling was awesome, but gripness itself was not good to the slippery stone with the moss. I was a little disappointed...

Lots of HIRATA's spinner was seen there. And I got several good bites to my #14 HIRATA parachute though, couldn't hook them up...

I could enjoy testing, fishing and seeing the beauty of nature. But I'm getting starved for the fish same time.

KOZURE Rider

Let's go biking, sweetie & sugar!

We enjoyed each 'Pottering' together. 

I'm getting used to the new bike, I think. 

SATSUKIBARE

It was so sunny and hot day today. Just like early summer coming.

Our family tennis is still going on. About 2 times in a month.

I'm wondering what is she doing?

Happy B.D.

Dinner at K's Molt Rire which opened SHIMIZU city recently.

My frank impression was so-so. Would like to try real beer next, not alcohol-free one.

Happy birthday, honey!

New Gears

SIMMS G4 GUIDE WADING BOOTA-VIBRAM

It is my first try for the rubber sole wading shoes. I'm wondering how it grips on the wet rock.

SIMMS HEADWATERS WADERS

I liked its color of the sole.

If you are interested in them, check this shop now which Tommy told me.  *Free Worldwide Shipping* on ALL orders of $500 USD or more!

Size adjustment

At first ride on PINARELLO, I felt bike size didn't fit my body size.

Let's check and compare with my old bike.

The length between the crank and the seat was almost 700mm,

same as the new one.

From the grip to the seat was 660mm on the old one.

It was 680mm on the new one. That is it.

Shifted the seat position 20mm to the front.

Don't say that it doesn't look cool, guys. It is OK to go, anyway.

Lens Test part2

5:45-7:00  I know almost all fish doesn't wake up yet, but had no choice.

Could get only one chance this morning.

Fish on!

Side A

Side B. It was 8.5sun perfect AMAGO, and first one on this branch this year also.

New lens's performance check was well done at last .

I like this soft color contrast of spring in particular.

By the way, the repaired wading shoes sole

got broken again after 6 times fishing. It is time to...
