Good ol' Cosco

Apart from being the only place to buy decent cheese and real bagels, I also scored a $50 long skateboard :D perfect for the carparks and kitewing when I can't be bothered putting my skates on :D

What amazes me is that it didn't break when I stood on it :lol:

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

9 huh? I knew about 3 ... but the closest is a 180km round trip or about 4 hours driving ... worth it just for the pizza from the shop though :D

A little taste of civilization :lol:

the cheese they sell in J-supermarkets is pre-grated and like younger than edam - cheese-flavoured rubber

Yet to ride the board - been busy with the wife ... she's going into hospital for surgery too so been doing the husbandly thing of spending time

... I found my old Harbinger wrist wrap the other day too - still fit, not moldy and falling to pieces so I might rub some mink oil in to freshen them up :D

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
