Extraordinary resiting fliction on the steering wheel obliged me to feed hard gear oil. Though such kind of symptom was observed for long time ago, I thought the criminal of heavy steering must be caused by 15minites minus camber value instead of positive standard camber. Application of #90 gear oil wiped out all the strange and unpleasant reaction occurred in the steering gear box.The eye opening phenomena in my Super Beetle enhanced me to endure to keep this vehicle much longer.

Civic RS arrived at hand to compensate a lack caused by sold Golf 7 GTI. Manual transmission and 40% profile tire are equipped standard. This model is so designed to meet with a bit softer suspension. But, from a geriatric standing point of view, too hard for daily use. This kind of driving taste is decided after several trials with desperate effort by the engineers in the specific division, so any changing or parts replacement by some another method are not preferable if we admire professionals. Tire pressure distribution might be permissible a bit?

While tidying the shelves, I came across with an old, cloudy zoom lens. I probably won it at Yahoo auction for 1 yen. It's a useless lens that doesn't let light through properly. It only captures images that look hazy.
Tokina RMC 80-200/f4.0. It has an in-tube zoom adjustment system and does not extend. The internal cam structure is simple and the movement is light. I disassembled it and wiped down the entire lens surface, and now it forms an image properly, transparently! It will produce a classic image that is different from modern recent products, so I'm looking forward to it.
I plan to take it with me for my next shooting journey.

As a matter for regret, my Golf 7 GTI was sold away a few hours ago. No damage was observed even small scratch, no history of repair except engine mount replacement and car battery. It was like new as to surpize the buyer. The value was about a quarter of my payment 11 years ago.
Then new commer tomorrow is New Civic with manual transmission.
My son will realize how stupid it will be to replace cars into more troublesome model?

I had my right eye operated yesterday, crystal tissue was replaced into artificial one. 2mm width surgical cutting on cornea was required to insert ultrasonic instrument insertion and that for artificial crystal material setting on the adequate place. It was done not under general anesthesia but local one, so all the steps were felt one by one---that was threatening at all. Though under anesthetic condition, I felt dull pain twice, on every instrument insertion. While the operation felt I extraordinary sparkling scenery that I have never experienced, ultimate highlight. After removing eye protecting gauge cover today, the scenery was dramatically changed like a new world---lighter, clear and transparent. Remembering my old good days about 30 years ago, I was so active in Radio control model airplane in F3A pattern field and I was selected as one of the representatives in Kansai area. The contest pattern is drawn at three positions, left, center and right, 120m distance with 120 angle degree area. Yes, I was not good at right side pattern. Now I have realized the reason why right side, lack of eyesight was the reason.
