Relieved

At last his landmark appeared safe on the Google map around Noto, probably he will arrive at Suruga tonight 8:30 and he will take an inn there starting up tomorrow morning to Osaka. Young people does not count "Fatigue" at all.
All of the motorcycles used by his group are computer controlled, the reliability of the machinery is established safe mechanically and electronically. They started this trip without any doubt on their equipment and almost coming back safe without any trouble.
I feel now again that our confidence of industrial product is above all in the world.
Then, the means of our land protection should be periodically improved qualitatively especially in sea defense however threatening might happen in our exclusive economic zone. We had better take best care not to be suffered by any  troublesome neighbor countries. Inner military fighting might happen soon?

Worry

In spite of watching my son's position on Google map, it does not move showing a marking 7 hours ago. Though I checked some accident such as Ferry collision or motor stop on the sea around Tomakomai, no report is found in the Web site, how come? It is true that his i-phone is not sunk in the sea because his positioning mark appears clearly. Anyway, my son does not stop to make me suffer, this situation will continue even if I might go to Heaven.

As I determined to desert all of my passed history last year, I had refrained from contact with my intimate friend including New Year Greeting cards.
Several cards sent to me this year remind me back my good young days, hot and active filled with energy and they make me contact again to know heir recent living style including healthy conditions. So, I'm going to write post cards to know their E-mail address.

Looking up dark sky

Early in the morning before dawn two days ago, I found out a brilliant star just beneath Crescent Moon to the direction of East southern east with elevation angle 30. It was the first time for me to recognize a shining star below the one third moon in a dark sky. Watching it up, I thought it might be Lucifer as a preliminary knowledge, later investigation in Web site proved my expectation was to the point.
At that time I was thinking about the way of Astronomical navigation used over 70 years ago, Kawanishi Type 2 large flying boat while the WWⅡ that had a dome astronomical window for the purpose.
At the same time I remembered the greatest Physicist Carl Sagan and his famous book "Pale blue dot".
Because I'm an outsider and a stranger in the astronomy department, the devotion in that field might be very interesting from now.
As the door of the International Library is fully opened in the LCD of my PC, the way is not closed. My future depends on just my decision.
Even so, time passes not like an arrow but like a missile recently after my retirement.

Orbit transmitter speaks!

My US old device, "Orbit" digital proportional transmitter speaks. Ancient device like this was almost deserted as a void, so I imagined some idea to keep this historical item on my working desk just beside LCD. 35 mm diameter small junk speakers are embed at the Gimbal position after removing all the controlling parts.
Before the procedure, an anxiety was in my planning that some low frequency amplifier must be required on the way if connected by way with head phone jack on PC, a stereo amp semiconductor or power transformer like Sansui ST32. But actually, my worry was in vain, they sound enough without some specific amplification, the power is strong enough to satisfy on my desk.

New Year Congratulation!

A happy new year!
I would like to say congratulation to the people all over the word.
First of all, I want to declare that my son is now at Soya Cape situated at the most Northern part of Japan in Hokkaido waiting for the New Year Sun Rise.  The place is very far from Osaka and he took a Ferry from Maizuru to Hokkaido Otaru and to Soya by car.
Though I appreciate his young energy and intention to challenge in the sever condition, I never go with his group. I had experienced while my young hood how difficult and how dangerous driving in deep snowy condition especially for unfamiliar people living in Southern warm climate.
Anyway, I hope him to come back safe ASAP.

Awareness change

I have stopped my writing job for a long time since the moment I had determined to withdraw from my hobby work that has been continued for long time, had started when I was in a elementary school.
Following my critical decision, all the piled items I had been keeping were deserted miserably at all in these 3 months. Yahoo Auction method was invited and the boxes I sent to be buyers exceeded 180 in number. Taking photos for exhibition, consider some adequate comments, preparing packages containing insulator, writing up address tags and checking up the receipt situations, those are nothing but a independent job at all.
The symptoms of Tenosynovitis and muscle inflammation in arm and shoulder suffer me these days as a matter of fact. Only one inconvenient dealing in 180 occurred trouble depending on buyer's selfish understanding, not because of the quality but because of my unnecessary introduction, I did too much to the buyer. Remembering a proverb, "Too kind is suspicious.", I realized again the truth they never tell a lie depending on the truth.
As things are reducing gradually in my storage room, an apparent change in my emotional condition is clearly recommended.
It's just a relieved feeling from invisible and complicatedly inter-wind tying strings around myself. And as a matter for surprise, I feel very light and clear to every thing at all, the sensitivity of my 5 senses changed actually. In addition, the strong power that has been pushing me behind into a specific direction disappeared, just like loosing Rudder, power vector shrunk.
So, I have obtained freedom and permission to decide my favorite direction from now in anyway I want. And the consciousness I have now could not obtained until I throw away all the old things however precious, however memorial and however lofty and majestic they might be.
Now, I know that any experienced old memories prevent me from changing the way to different direction in future.

My hobby stops

I have determined to stop my hobby, Radio control model airplane that had been lasting for over half a century. It is natural that there exist not a few items piled since my childhood. As the way to dispose them, I'm making use of Yahoo Auction Japan though some 10 % of  the proceeds.
Over 60 packages have sent to the buyers by means of Kuroneko Yamato system, in case of smaller parts, "Compact"  with a specified box costing 65 yen is available, I knew it few days ago.

I have experienced a trouble in a dealing, I declared that an Italian motor Super Tigre S 60 motor had included the manual in spite of loosing it. As I know there is a famous Web site "Engine Review by Peter Chinn", I introduced it to him and I gave him two pieces of ST glow plugs for the sake of my fault. As we know, an ordinary included manual does not have any worthy information, I told the buyer important one about Compression Ratio.
Italian designed motor has often high compression because of Straight fuel uses, and it is very difficult to handle with hi-comp motor because of causing detonation phenomena.
Insertion of some comp adjusting sim is the way to solve it making use of thin aluminum gasket, the sim is easily obtained making use of a beer can with 0.10 mm thickness, cutting way is circular cutter, thin aluminum material makes it easy, not so difficult task.
Adequate compression ratio application changes the motor operation into very smooth and torqueful rotation with good combustion sound.
0.3 mm to 0.4 mm gaskets are the usual way if over 15 % Nitromethane fuel is invited. This kind of information is not obtained without some actual  researching and developing actions.
As a matter of my disappointment, I have never experienced an scenery that the Super Tigre motor was operated in good condition in our country. 
Mr. Peter Chinn had stated the differences between an ordinary motor and Super Tigre, showing compression ratio datum both full stroke and actual conditions. Most of the modeler should have known and understood the fact and the truth.
