Good evening.

Yesterday, the 28th, was the May meeting of the Tsukuba Stream Source Lake Enthusiasts Club.

I woke up pretty early, so I relaxed until 4:30 a.m. before leaving. On the way, I stopped at a 7-Eleven to buy iced coffee and three rice balls.

As usual, I passed in front of Sanwa Shinike Pond. There was only one car there today. There may not have been any meeting groups there.

I arrived around 5 a.m. It was empty. Last week, it was so crowded that I had to look for a place to park, but today it was empty.

After checking in, I lined up. This year I'm aiming for the area around 1-chome Ichibanchi. I entered in the middle of the north pier facing west. Normally, I would never be able to get in. This time, there were not many large meeting groups, so I was able to get in.

The first cast was at 6:10 a.m.

I used a 11-shaku tobi-zukuri rod and started with both meter-long dumplings.

The first fish came in about an hour later.

Up until about 10am, the float was moving quite well. But after that it was extremely difficult. I had bought a Hard L the day before and it was in my bag. But I had some weird reasoning that if I changed it now I wouldn't be a man, lol.

So I went all the way to the end.

When it was past 12 o'clock I changed my rod to a 10 shaku Tobi-zukuri. The guy fishing next to me was catching fish with a 9 shaku rod.

I'm pretty good at it, haha.

I was reaching the limit of my stamina at this point.

And with the lack of sleep, I was losing my concentration.

I'm thinking I need to pace myself or pack up early.

It was a relief that there was no award ceremony.

I caught 22 fish.

The top fisherman caught over 80 fish. I'd like to catch at least half as many.

I went home, did the bare minimum of housework and collapsed with my jacket on.

I'm exhausted - a little bit tired, lol.

Life is a precious thing. I'm thinking of taking him for walks more frequently next month.

But I guess I'll just keep doing it, lol.

Today I'm drinking Junmai Daiginjo from a major manufacturer and a pair of glasses of Baccarat. I drink it chilled, so sometimes I drink it in a glass. The sake is safe, as you'd expect from a major manufacturer. This is also a half-price product that's just before the expiration date, lol.

I would never buy it at a reasonable price, lol.

Measures against vaccine aftereffects #Ivermectin1️⃣ No. 003

I'm sure many of you thought that. I was infected with the Omicron strain during the New Year and took it with my father. For 5 days. I felt the effects the day after I took it. I've been taking it continuously for over 6 weeks since then. I don't know if it actually improved the aftereffects. However, it seems to have helped my back pain that I've had for 20 years disappear and my mild depression.

Measures for Vaccine After-effects #Where is the source of information? No. 002

The source of information is almost entirely Nico Nico Douga. If you think it's Nico Nico, you've been brainwashed, lol. Take a look. I recommend Dr. Nagao Kazuhiro of Amagasaki City. If you start looking from there, you can get a variety of information. It is the only valuable medium that is not controlled by information. It's only a matter of time before it is blocked. Please hurry.
