foot massage with lin

18:41 Wednesday 02 May 2018 JST

Lin and I went to Giwado in Kanda, a foot massage shop I like, and got 45 minute foot massages! Ate lunch with Charu after that and then headed back home because we were tired and the weather planned to rain.

Ate ice cream at BR31 after I found my third geocache, the geocache in 新百合ヶ丘駅.

Lin joined me to find my fourth, but we could not find it.

mt3 retested large marble

09:05 Wednesday 02 May 2018 JST

Yesterday I glued a piece onto the track which was designed to catch small marbles as they fall through the not parallel bamboo chopstick marble splitter.

Now it's time to see if it worked!

Woohoooo it worked!!

Uh oh.

After I tested the fix today, while setting up for the next frame, I noticed the large marbles could not roll past the piece.

I debated cutting the piece, but decided to reglue it, even though that will mean "wasting" a day of filming, but realistically only an hour because Lin and I are scheduled to leave at 10. Ahem, were scheduled to leave at 10.

Anyway, I am really happy that I decided to reglue the piece. It allowed me to take photos of the large marble racing off the second curve.
