Made it

[5th Tuition]

One thing I found about Japan; whatever you want, you can find it "on a stick"

I've seen, cucumbers, chicken, bananas, octopus, hotdogs, and poop ( yes I said poop) on a stick The poop is a toy with a plastic swirl of poop with a face; on a stick. I guess it is supposed to be a reward for potty training young children When I initially saw it, I thought it was strange to see a replica of a swirly ice cream cone in plastic. I was quickly informed that it was not a replica of ice cream, but poop

Oh well, different strokes for different folks

Sorry, no photo of poop on a stick.

Hey....they may look as goofy as hell but they don't stink at the end of the day! I have tried Keens and several other high end brands but they all stunk. Literally!

I spent a lot of time in Yokosuka and Sasebo. Nicest people you would ever want to meet and I love the food. If you are staying in a hotel or using taxis ... look around very closely; they take cleanliness to a whole new level!

Lastly you haven't really lived until you have done your "business" on a Japanese smart toilet. When we remodel our bathroom, we are putting one in!

I just got back from a wedding in lovely Detroit myself ... I haven't been out in a week. I heard the spot were getting tougher to come by behind the island and they are still big ones.

Bluefish are becoming more of a problem live lining and John and Doug have been doing well trolling for them in the usual spots.

My 02 sensor is now going off continuously so I cover the buzzer speaker with duct tape until I can get it over to Judge Yachts next week. Bill is working with Honda to see if I need the kit or just another sensor.

Still haven't found an acceptable big boat. Either the nice ones aren't certified for over 6 or the certified ones we have looked at are beaten up and worn out.

My daughter is vegetarian. I've been eating lots of vegetables, rice, tofu, and noodles! But tonight, I asked for STEAK
Holy crap, the best beef I ever ate it was a restaurant where you cook your own food over a grill built in the table. In the U.S., I've been to a Japanese restaurant where they cook your food at the table, but never where I cook it.

We also had fresh vegetables (peppers, onions, corn on cob, mushrooms) to grill as well. It was delicious. We also got large shrimp to throw on the grill to finish out the meal.

The pictures don't do it justice.
