Hubsband's work space in our project room.  It gets some of the best evening light.

Started 3D printing a large format pinhole camera.  I'm very excited about it since large format photography was one of my absolute favorite classes when I was in college.

So today I had some accidental small adventures.  One of which was to Miss Veedol beach that has these cool breakwater shapes

I usually get all my books secondhand but sometimes I have to get brand new, pretty hard covers.  

I'm nearing a point of too many projects.  But the daiso had blocks of rubber for carving your own rubber stamps.  There's something really nice about carving into it.  

Skipped doing my Friday apartment cleaning to go on a drive to a beach to hunt for sea glass and sand dollars on shipwreck beach.  

Found a place right off base that develops film!  Half the price and 1000 times quicker than the alternative of mailing it off.  It was very exciting.  Only problem is that the don't scan negatives onto disks or USB drives.  

it was a bit windy on Lake Ogawara today. 

Rain drop cakes really don't taste like anything special but they're so visually pleasing to me.

Yesterday it was nice enough for me to walk 3.5 miles around base. Today this was the weather all day.

current stack of books I'm planning on reading next.  Accidentally color coordinated.

pickled plum hard candy.

Went to cape Shiriyazaki and fed some carrots to the kandachime horses.

This sea urchin has a heart

The float we found on Saturday all cleaned up.

Little bit of home in the book I'm reading.

Don't know what to do with my beach finds yet so for now they're just in some drawers.

Misawa citizen's forestry park. 

He was exactly the length of the trail's width and didn't feel like moving out of our way so we walked around it.  

Snazzy new faux leather case and strap for my camera. The strap didn't fit through the loops provided on the camera but two thin split rings and a trip to the daiso for some swivel hooks fixed that dilemna.

Grant found a float of his own. His has more of a handmade quality to it than mine. But now we each have one.

Woke up at 5:30am and everything was covered in fog

Ended up at the dentist because the nerve in one of my teeth "didn't recover from the trauma of the filling that was put in and has died" So the dentist drilled into my tooth, cleaned it out, put medicine in and put an orange temporary filling in.

Working on an embroidery that was requested from me for Allister's room.  

Alphabetizing Hubsband's books means I started checking his books for stuff that I could use for my found in books project.  The market for used english language books isn't very conducive to furthering my series.  I've ordered a few used books online but a) don't know when they'll get here and b) who knows if they'll have anything cool inside of them (other than the actual story).  

photographed a couple more of hubsband's books.

Hubsband went stateside and brought me sake and wasabi kit kats from the airport on his way back home. He knows how to please his lady.

went to a craft store in Hachinohe today and I somehow ended up with fox fabric that is really cute but I have no idea what to use it for.
