Nekkid Japan visit! No wonder they looked at me funny.

My first two visits to Japan were about 2 weeks in duration - with a stopover in Hawaii on the way back.
My last two visits were 3 weeks in duration - but no stopover.

Yeah sure Mr Weather, go ahead and start a downpour when I have no umbrella. It's not like Summer's starting in two days, anyway. I think someone got the hemisphere wrong.
The first Saturday of my most recent visit, our friend Russ (who lives there) took myself and my two lead contractors out on his 34 foot boat. We spent the morning motoring around the area known as the 99 Islands.
After that, we drove up the mountain to Saikai National Park and got a really good view of all Sasebo.
After that, we drove about half an hour to the Saikai Bridge and spent a few hours in the park area built up between the old bridge and new bridge.
That night, we went out to eat at a place where you grill your own food right at the table. We had plates of meat, chicken, veggies...etc. Ate and drank for a few hours.
Then we hit the bars.....
At some point after that, I was put in a taxi bound for my room. I think it was sometime after midnight.
All in all, an eventful day.
One Sunday night my co-workers and I went to a Kushiyaki (skewers of grilled food) place for dinner. I had some beef skewers, some chicken skewers, some bacon-wrapped asparagus, and some whale. After that we went out drinking. At some point I walked back to my building.

My last night there, more co-workers and I went out and about. Started off meeting at the hotel some of them were staying at, then walking aroudn the ginza eating various foods (steamed oysters, beef skewers). We went to a steak place for dinner, but they couldn't seat us right away. So we went to another place for a quick beer, then back to the steak place.
After that we went to a bar for a few beers. I left them early, around 1030, since I had to get up early the next day for my trip home.
Not to mention the base had a Popeyes in the food court, so I got to eat my favorite fast food about every other day.
And another local restaurant on base, Galaxies, had awesome rotissere chicken.
All right folks, I gotta go see a man about a work package to review. Talk to you folks later.
Oh yeah, one last time - JAPAN ROCKS!!!

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Ok, if someone has AZ's wife as a friend on facebook ask her to smack him.
Counting down the time to Friday, hot water and hot food.
I might experiment with old electric oven today, however, to get hot food. Or rather save carrots from spoiling. Baked potatoes and carrots. Assuming it'll work. And I don't burn them. I have little choices left because I am eating the last piece of bread and don't want to go to shop for anything more today. I spent too much since the breakdown.
If you have oil, you could roast the carrots in a bit of oil (butter might work, too). They should cook up nicely in about 20 to 30 minutes.

You'll have to convert to metric on the temperature. Setting your oven for 400 Celsius is likely to create problems. Then just eyeball a good coating of oil and seasonings.
I have neither. All used up and not replenished after gas went out and it wasn't known when it will be back.
Wait... Setting oven temperature?!
Yikes. That must make it difficult to bake anything.

It warms itself to certain temperature and keeps it, not goes up indefinitely, I just have no idea what its max temperature is. 175 degree Celsius perhaps, maybe 200 degree?

This isn't code for anything is it? ;)

Gods of underworld, I hope it's code for something! Think of the mess FHDM would make if he literally exploded...

Both ovens I thought I'll use lacked cords. Third oven (of different construction) turned on and heats a bit but I think it does not work properly and is too cold for actual use. I'll know in half an hour to a hour.

Carrots were far from being success but edible. At least a bit more than raw carrots.
Still waiting for the potatoes.
Potatoes came much better than carrots. Still, the timing and placement requires more testing.
Safety is overrated!
Pyro's advice is not to be taken.
Pretty much done shopping for the grandkids.
I have no clue what to get my daughter.
I'd like to get my son in law Hero Lab, but I don't know how to go about buying software as a gift.
I get to drive down to Collage Station Texas for Christmas, and we have blizzard like conditions today. It should be interesting.

So, whereabouts in Lousy-Anna are you headed?
Somewhere close enough I might actually be able to meet another FaWtLy?

I think the boards are broken.
Take care.
