The Week #221
by James- ๐ Autumn ๐ Finally ๐ Came ๐. This year it waited until the very last moment, the autumn equinox, to make its arrival.ย Not a moment too soon. This week we had a day with an overnight low of 28c. And now, 3 days later we have overnight lows around 19c. Finally.
- ๐ฒ Leo wanted to ride his bike. It was getting a bit late, but I caved. The reason why I cavedย was because he said "I want to climb hills". How can I say no to this? I put my light on his bike and we made a reason to ride our bikes to the local coop. Sometimes I get the sense that he's gonna be the kid that's in the local road bike clubs, not baseball. But maybe I'm reading too much into it.
- ๐ฒ I bought the bike. I went for a C line 6 speed in matcha green. Unfortunately it's in Kobe at another shop so I had to pay for shipping + wait a week. Super excited for it. If I wanted one day-of I would have had to picked black and that's boring.ย On second thought though, perhaps it's better I didn't get it today as I didn't have a bike bag to take it on the train and would of had to buy whatever they stock.
For lights, I went with a CatEye 300 lumens that charges via micro-usb. I also got the mount so it is fixed below the block, so any bag won't block it and I won't need to take it off each time I fold it. The rear light will replace the rear reflector. There isn't a rack on the bike, but I reckon I won't need one immediately (though the extra stability would be nice (from what I hear)).
Leo went with me to buy it (and make some Lego people afterwards if he was a good boy and was patient). Before going in to the store we had a picnic lunch of Onigiri and fried chicken on a stick. My chicken was in a tomyom sweet and spicy Korean sauce. With the cool weather, some shade provided by a tree, and the view pictured below, life is pretty good.Minatomirai Yokohama - ๐ณ We went bowling. It was crowded and so we had to wait an hour. I was not on point and got my but whooped. Leo had a meltdown (๐ซ ) because he didn't get any strikes and wasn't naturally good. Kids...
- ๐ฎ The neighborhood festival happened after we went bowling and I was in no mood to have fun and be merry after the meltdowns. That said, Leo got his cotton candy, something he's been talking about since he first had it a year ago. The main occurrence this year was a vendor that was selling bb-guns and airsoft guns...at a freakin' neighborhood festival. Kids milling about the park taking them, pointing them at each other, their own heads, and pulling the trigger. I get it, they're "toys" and this isn't America, but Christ. This is how tragedy occurs and kids loose sight in an eye. I plan to bring it up with the neighborhood association.
