A Little Thrill Every Day | White Pia Takagami Snowboarding
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I took my kids snowboarding again. We went to a ski resort called White Pia Takasu. I highly recommend this resort because it’s relatively easy to ski, even for beginners. It’s great to go early in the morning when there aren’t many people around. At our place…
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year! This year, Heisei 30 (2018), is the Year of the Dog! We have a dog at home, too, lol. Her name is Maruden! (She’s a female.) At first, her name was just “Maru,” but for some reason the kids started calling her “Maruden,” so that’s been her name for the past few years. This year, this little guy is also…
The Construction Industry: Building a Future, and New Year’s Eve | The State of Machinery Maintenance
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I finished tidying up the area in Nagano, and it looks really nice with all the machines lined up like that. The engine gun in the foreground is in pretty rough shape, so I’ll be servicing it next year. Of course, we’ll do the maintenance in-house, lol. This machine is pretty much always out on loan… So it’s no surprise it’s already starting to act up…
Living as Usual | “I Can’t Make It Through the New Year”: Money Management
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I thought, “The New Year’s break must be starting today!” but, as expected, there are still people working on-site! Thank you for your hard work. When deadlines are tight, it’s unavoidable to give up your days off, isn’t it? Stay safe!! Around this time of year…
"Go to the Construction Site," an Information Portal for the Construction Industry | Enhancing the Image of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last night, I attended a year-end party in Nagano. As expected, all that drinking really takes it out of you, lol. I feel like I’m about to catch a cold from all the alcohol. Please take care not to catch a cold yourselves. But anyway… Have you heard of “Let’s Go to the Construction Site”? “Let’s Go to the Construction Site”…
The Era of Glowing Helmets! Tanizawa Manufacturing's 360-Degree LED Attachment
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s been extremely cold lately! On days like this, just lift some cement from the bottom up! Just doing that alone warms you right up, doesn’t it? lol Even on snowy days, lifting cement keeps you nice and warm, lol. But it’s always cold during surgery, so be careful not to make any sudden movements…
In the end, it's just the super general contractors, right? | At the Top of the Construction Industry
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Just like the other day, I’d always thought that Christmas started on Christmas Eve. But apparently, Christmas Eve actually refers to the night of Christmas itself, lol. “The eve of Christmas Eve”? The meaning and origin you need to know to avoid embarrassment! Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter, though…
In the End, It's All About Thoughtfulness | Playing Santa at a Local Christmas Event
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s Christmas Eve, isn’t it? The other day, I took part in a local event where we handed out presents to kids. I’ve played both Santa and a reindeer in the past. Playing Santa, in particular, is unbearably hot, lol…
Applying the Right Amount of Force When Core Drilling | Sampling Test Specimens in Winter
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. January is getting absolutely packed, and I’m starting to panic a bit… lol. I really wish they’d spread this workload out more evenly over the year… Anyway, moving on. Collecting test specimens (core samples) in the winter is really tough, isn’t it? My hands get so numb…
