I’m taking time to haul cargo to Chiba.
While moving things, I keep thinking “How could I do this more efficiently?” <\/strong>
I think about it every day as I move things. That’s because we have a home move coming up too.
*We’re having Sakai handle the home move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you all know, I basically “love organizing and tidying” <\/strong> but
there are always spots you can’t clean.

Like the back side where you have to move things or under shelves\u2014when you move things, there’s always a decade or more of grime built up there.
Behind things you find familiar chargers and batteries that have fallen <\/strong> and sometimes it’s oddly moving. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a single machine tool is quite heavy, so “I’m taking it slow to avoid injury” <\/strong> as I clean and move things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The folks from Kanden today “connected the power lines to the utility pole and brought them to the front of the building” <\/strong>

Everyone was enjoying their lunch break in a relaxed way, and it made me happy too.
When the weather is nice, it’s like a picnic environment anywhere\u2014it’s really the best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m so glad I bought the Town Ace van <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a truck, it would have been hard to haul things like this.
I really felt it this time\u2014a box-shaped vehicle is truly convenient.

I’m so glad I made that impulse buy back then (*\u00b4\u03c9`*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine has been feeling rough lately, so I’d like to change the engine oil sooner rather than later.
For now, I’m going to push it through this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t experienced the height of summer yet, so I’m not sure, but “it probably won’t get too hot” <\/strong>
Besides, the ventilation is good, so I think it’s an extremely comfortable environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makita 40Vmax Cordless Lawn Mower Body Only MLM004GZ

With about 240 tsubo total, it’s a machine with the performance that even women can mow the grass with ease.
Compared to the 18V “it’s incomparably more powerful and torquey” <\/strong>
The larger the property gets beyond 100 tsubo, the more you’ll benefit from the 40V MAX.
Conversely, if it’s under 100 tsubo, the 18V might be fine.

In this regard “bigger doesn’t always mean better” <\/strong> so don’t rush into buying the 40V.
The advantage of being small and light is significant. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Today I lightly installed some shelving and moved cargo around <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even though I’ve organized everything in boxes “the quantity is half-crazy” <\/span><\/strong>
I think I’ve dieted down my stuff quite a bit, but “things multiply when there’s space to put them” <\/span><\/strong>

When you go through moves or relocations like this, sometimes you fall into a bit of self-loathing.
Even though I thought I’d use something, “will I really use it?” <\/strong>It’s really troubling.
And yet, an era where you can spend time and money based on your hobbies and tastes <\/span><\/strong>might be what we’re living in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear from time to time that people didn’t actually know about it.
It’s not hard to publish a crowdfunding project again, so I might as well repost it.
I’ll think about the timing. <\/p>\n\n\n
