Father’s day

This day was a Fathers day in 2009.  My wife and kids had their tasks, therefore I was alone at home and enjoying the repair of my car in a garage.

When I finished my work in a garage, I found a parcel was arriving to me.
I opened it and found…



Wow!  Its great!!!
It was a father's day gift from my eldest daughter living in Nagoya.
A handmade tinplate sign designed by my eldest daughter!!!
(She was studying at the University to be a designer.)

It was the most surprising and happiest gift I ever had in my life.
I was a really happy fathers day for me. ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

I thought I should give up and look for the new part for the replacement.  And to for my curiosity , I started to destroy and disassemble the clutch master cylinder piston by drilling. When I was drilling the piston halfway , I didn ’ t have any specific idea , however , I thought to tap the piston to make the thread.  I started to turn the tap handle , and I felt the feeling that the piston was moved.  So , I tried to pull it , and then suddenly the piston was removed from the cylinder. Finally I could extract the rusty piston! I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , be...
