Ya...agreed, I was up for a silver or gold star membership status system. I pay it on other forums that I frequent just to help out those who are working so hard to keep them going. What's $30 ~ $50 a year for something you use frequently and enjoy being a part of... That is of course in addition to trip reports, pictures, and giveaway writeups..

No...but some may now... at least to say hi and touch base

Cheers David.... I just feel like someone took my "woobie" away...
Is the chat room going to stay..?

Ya know....I wish I could say I "understand" but really I don't. This forum was the only place that I could talk to folks about not only skiing but living our lives in Japan. It had a nice family atmosphere that I will surely miss. I will check in to the site for the odd daily report but quite honestly I got far more information from within the forums. Again, thank you admins for all your hard work but if you take the human element out what are you left with......? I just had to say how I feel and not just leave it at "thanks and goodbye".
Gentlemen (and ladies),, it has been both an honour and a pleasure..

Down here at the end of the peninsula in Shimoda they have a little sand ski slope. Never done it though..

dat's aboot right, eh?? Don't ferget the maple cured back bacon, eh!!
Seriously though...I do notice my friends talking like that sometimes...

There's a fine line between ..enthusiastic and desperate... Yeti in November certainly leans toward the latter.

The rest of the season will be mostly weekends at Hakuba and maybe try to get to Shiga Kogen.
Likewise Chriselle, it'd be good to catch up & share a Molson slopeside!
For sure!! Probably have to substitute the Molson though....

Dec 26 to Jan 2nd....Kamui and maybe Furano. Jan 9-12 at Myoko. The rest of the season will be mostly weekends at Hakuba and maybe try to get to Shiga Kogen.

I prefer to profile rather than stereotype...

I saw on the news that Yeti opened on Wednesday......not that I'm going to go or anything like that....

Put 255/85's, bull bar, lift, winch, cage and rack, off-road lights and other trail rigging...... fuel economy takes a bit of a hit. That's pretty good if you are getting 800+kms per fill up.

Thanks guys. He seems to have good days and not so good as well. He's pretty mellow today after jumping around too much last night.
Lucky..... If I didn't have to hold the gopro I can get him doing a lot more cool tricks. This was just some hack footage and practice using this new version of iMovie. I tried using the newest Final Cut Pro but got frustrated and quit. There's nothing "pro" any more with Final Cut Pro X.

Agnes sounds JUST like my mother-in-law.... I'm not kidding either...

All shot with the cheap ~$100ish SJ4000 wifi GoPro wanna-be action cam. Pretty damned good little camera and comes with a bunch of different mounts. The only thing it can't do is shoot at true 60fps for good slow motion. But, I have my Sony cam and soon the iphone 6plus for that anyway.
Thanks for the comments..

If you go with AXA insurance be prepared to have to wait one business day before you can get the insurance on the car. Bloody infuriating that one....Sonpo and others are effective immediately.

What they were showing were the more decorative/ornamental wooden bits that people pay a shitload of money for. It looked really beautiful, even if it doesn't add anything functional to the house.
One Japanese show that I don't mind watching is the Before-After renovation show. The shitholes that some people live in are amazing... I get the feeling that they aren't the type of people who need/deserve to live in the really nice houses the show builds for them but oh well...
Haha...my daughter and I watch those shows. I often wonder if the newly reno'ed "de-pack-ratted" residence would end up looking like a fresh pack-rat house in a year or so following the reno...

Love the roadster.... The good Reverend Billy (Gibbons) would be proud. The LS2 is a nice match weight wise. It's a popular transplant engine for 80 Series Landcruisers. I just saw one this past summer up in Yokohama...cool.

Glad I'm not leaving Japan (vacation or otherwise) anytime soon. Yen is in the dumper..
IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE FORUMS - PLEASE READ

Just to quickly address Klingon's point...and then I'll leave it alone.
If you go to the ih8mud forums for Landcruiser fans... you will see that while the forums are free so much information is presented by forum members that people feel compelled to contribute. Of the huge number of members on the site I would say 40~50% contibute.
There is hope for humanity..
