Ever since I graduated from a salaried job and started my own company 10 years ago, I forbade myself to travel to places where I couldn't get to my customers immediately in case something happened, but three years ago when I returned to motorcycles, I lifted the ban on overnight trips. Three years ago, when I returned to motorcycling, I lifted the ban on one-night trips, and now I'm lifting the ban on two-night trips.
However, if something happens, I should at least be able to work remotely (I'm an IT guy), but I gave my laptop to the son of an acquaintance, and my iPad has a cracked screen. "I need to buy some kind of device..." I was thinking "I need to buy a device..." but a good one is coming out in August, so I went to Amazon and picked up a used notebook for $19,800 for this trip.
Oh, something like now (17/07/2018 0:33) the used one is also \26,000.
And this is what I received.Oh, blue..
I set up the minimum settings to connect to the remote server and was ready to go.
Another thing I did was to prepare a top and bottom set of cool, quick-drying clothes that I've been using since last year as a measure against the extreme heat.
Now we just need to get the rest of our stuff.Bag for C-BOW installationand you are ready to go. Amazon I asked Echo, "Alexa, set the alarm for 5 a.m." and went to bed.
Morning as expected.
Yeah, as expected. I woke up at eight....
I was not surprised, as it was already expected, so I got ready slowly, applied for the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Touring Plan from the parking lot, and set off. It was 11:00 a.m., when we were supposed to be having brunch in Fukushima Prefecture, and we were still at Hanyu PA....
Sky Tower 41
We continued on the Tohoku Expressway. We had lunch at Bandai-san SA....
We started heading north towards Yamagata, but it was hot as hell..... We had some soft-serve ice cream at a roadside station on the way....
I run while rehydrating.
On the way."Zao Echo Line"I was tempted to go for a run, but the time constraints meant that I wouldn't have time to eat local delicacies in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, where I was staying. So, with tears in my eyes, I went straight ahead for a while....
Oh, that thing you see on the left!
This is probably the most famous building in Yamagata Prefecture. This is Sky Tower 41. It's really amazing to see a tower suddenly built right in the middle of rice fields.
At this point, it's already past 16:00 pm....orz
Gassan Hanagasa Line
Anyway, we had to hurry... So, we enter the first winding road of the trip.
But the view was not so good because of the fog.
When we got down to the foot of the mountain, it was almost dark, but we took a short break and... Go to the inn!
A bad night.
Yes, it was already night when we arrived. It was already too late to look for a good local restaurant, make a reservation, and visit!...
The first day ended with eating at a convenience store and falling asleep in my room....
Today's mileage is about 540km.
