In Kitakyushu today with the boy. First stop, the Railway History Museum. I feel like this is a place @gaijinmommy.bsky.social will appreciate. They've even got a simulator built from a real train cockpit.

Early Christmas present from my wife! A minimal wallet that is an improvement over my current one, which was a bit *too* minimal.
It has a coin pocket on the outside, which is also an improvement.

This was my view over lunch and it was awesome, but I forgot that I have two more meetings today in these clothes and no febreeze.
I guess I'm bringing the bbq with me.
Btw, the place is Mori no Butchers in Jimbocho. Fucking excellent. And cheap. I'm absolutely stuffed for 1000 yen.

I got a new 23mm f1.8 TTartisan prime autofocus lens for "walkin' around" pictures and it's honestly pretty great. Especially at 23,000 yen. Fast, reliable autofocus, and sharp enough for these old eyes. It shows the two gantry cranes waaaay in the distance of pic 2.
