You got it Pontiac… any running discomfort is less than the troubles at home 🫤

<cue paralyzing nostalgia> The blossom carpet takes me back exactly 16 years to the first day of my year in Kyoto. Magical! And too often at risk of being swallowed up by the troubles at home.

You spent a year in Kyoto? That's fantastic. It's become such a tourist hub I'm not sure I'd want to live there now, but 16 years ago it'd have been incredible I think. Glad to give you some nostalgia my friend!

Happily - I've got a lot of sakura no jutan shashin

Thanks David - sadly this will be a a pricey bathroom problem I expect, likely a GS or 2 worth of expenses, oh well.

Funny, it's my current way of comparing what stuff costs. 😉

Good luck with it Alan I think in watches price for stuff too 😂 hope it comes out ok . My next bicycle will have a gearbox on the peddles not a conventional derailleur with a gates drive belt 🙂

16 years ago, under my specific circumstances, it WAS incredible.
