Watching TV of

fly tying together. Let's tie it soon,

and don't forget your fly for the opening, Lance.

Letter from her

It was so much fun for me, sweetie.

Let's go there again and don't forget to take your binoculars next time.

Birds around our house

Looks like AOJI.

NOSURI, looking for the game.

NOSURI's hovering, first time to see for us all!

He must have found the game, we guessed.

It was too far to be identified though, looked like SASHIBA.

'Time to go back home', younger daughter said.

 

Mantis's eggcorn. Winter is still going on.

The others in TDL

Snow was still seen here and there.

 

The moment of joy.

 

Enjoyed the electrical parade also.

 

 

And fireworks, too much!

Birds in TDL

HIYODORI is always standing out because of its loud note.

  

I didn't think I could see you there, MEJIRO.

 

You are too greedy and tame!

 

SUZUME looked like fatter than the country one.

 

 Be careful, even on the ice!

My missions at TDL

Mission 1: Take them to TDL safety by car(2hours)

Worked late last night and got up 5AM this morning.

A kind of hard work, but well, done.

 

Mission 2: Get the fast pass of Pooh's Honey Hunt.

As soon as I passed entrance, run to the place to get the fast pass.

But I noticed that I forgot to take their tickets....

Back to the entrance once and restarted to run there again...

Super beginner at TDL, Lance...

 

Mission 3: Get the popcorn with Minnie's pretty box for younger daughter.

Waited very long time... They liked it or caramel taste?

 

Mission 4: Get the fast pass of BUZZ.

 

Mission 5: Get the best place for the parade.

 

Mission 6: Have a deep nap before midnight driving back to home.

Left there 21:30 and arrived home 23:10. Your all missions were well done, Lance.

Deep cleaning of the washing and drying machine

Our washing and drying machine(Panasonic NA-VR1200 2007) hasn't been working well for this two years. Especially drying function hasn't worked at all. So I decided to clean its inside deeply today.

As a result this pile of dust was cleaned. Good job, Lance.

 

1St; Backside air duct was no problem.

2nd; To access front side, detach the top cover first.

 

Next, remove the front lower cover.

Then remove the front upper cover like this(I forgot to take a pic...).

 

After removed this black hose,

 

Found the bunch of dust!! It must prevent the air circulation in the drying duct.

 

Too much!!

Looking forward to next morning to check the drying function.

First Biking this year

Let's go up, Lance.

 

48minutes 48seconds, 10minutes faster than before.

 

Accident!! Need to get new one after long time interval.

Walking in the evening

Before walking, it got me warm well. Thanks, honey.

 

Let's walking up the stairs.

 

Mt. FUJI looked nice today also.

 

When you cross the road, please raise your hand.

 

River runs through it, even it is cold winter now.

 

It is getting close to sunset.

 

She is telling her 'PENPEN_GUSA'.

 

Thank you guys, it was good and peaceful walking for me.

MISHIMATAISYA by bike

First visit there this year.

 

Cold, but nice sunny day today.

 

She fall asleep on the way back home.

 

It was good heavy load training for me now

to go up steep slope with her on my back.

TAMA Zoological Park

On the way home back from my wife's parents' house, we dropped at TAMA Zoological Park today. It was very cold day...

 

Entrance fee was very cheap, good for family with kids.

 

She got surprise gift because her muffler included yellow color. 

 

We could see lions very closely in the lion bus.

Younger daughter was very excited. Worth to ride on by 350yen.

 

Cheetahs looked very relaxed.

I thought this zoo's facility was a kind of rare, very good for animals.

 

After seeing elephants, younger daughter fall a sleep.

 

My favorite Japanese birds of prey!!

Especially I love the Japanese golden eagle very much.

Very difficult to see it in the field.

 

Although I couldn't take a picture well, we could see his flying in the cage!

I've never seen such a dynamic eagle's flying in the zoo. Would like to visit there again at warmer time than today...
