Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
My former teacher from Kagoshima (from my days at Kagoshima Jitsugyo High School) sent me some chicken sashimi.
There's really nothing like fresh chicken!!
It's absolutely delicious, but apparently people from Kagoshima are super resistant to Campylobacter infection, so they can eat it without any problems.
My kids are devouring it, too.
Getting used to things is kind of scary, no matter how you look at it, lol.
By the way, if you want to try chicken sashimi in the Tokai region, you can order Nagoya Cochin online.
They fillet the fish right after I order it at a shop near my house, so it's super fresh and delicious.
You can enjoy flavors that are usually only available at high-end restaurants right at home. (Though this is commonplace in Kagoshima.)
Since it's close to my house, I just called and said I'd come pick it up an hour later.
Here's the blog of the guy who's handling all that.
It’s so niche that some parts might make casual fans go “Huh?”, but his passion for birds is incredible, so in a way, it’s actually pretty interesting lol.
Pros are really passionate about their work, aren't they!
I think even professionals in slope stabilization would find professionals in bird watching interesting, lol.
But that's beside the point.
It's held taut right in the center of the mounting frame.
That's right. It's a clip spacer.
It seems to be selling pretty well as usual, which makes me happy for some reason.
I was happy to see it being used at another job site (a company I wasn't familiar with) the other day.
As you can see in the photo above, the crew’s motivation to meet the director’s standards is really high!
We’re implementing a variety of measures to improve quality at a low price in order to boost our scores.
This clip spacer is also part of that effort.
We try to bring them to the job sites we're working on as much as possible.
We are also encouraging the general contractor to come up with creative solutions.
So if that helps improve the score even a little, it makes us happy while we're working on the project.
Recently, the use of ground anchors has been declining, and rebar insertion work has been on the rise.
Furthermore, rebar installation work can now be performed by slope construction contractors, even if they are not specialized anchor contractors.
That means the barrier to entry has been lowered and workability has improved—or rather, the performance of the machinery has improved.
The machine is highly user-friendly, and above all, its compact size makes it easy to handle.
Moreover, since the rebar insertion method is less expensive than ground anchors, government agencies tend to opt for that approach.
With that in mind, demand for rebar installers is set to increase, so you’re probably concerned about improving quality and workmanship, aren’t you?
It’s such a simple design that, looking back now, I figure there’s probably no room left for improving the quality or finish! That’s just the nature of this construction method, lol.
But even those improved clip spacers will eventually become obsolete, won't they?
Once it becomes the norm, the government stops paying attention to it.
No matter how creative you are, people will get tired of it in a few years.
I just hope it doesn't end up with us running out of creative ideas before long, lol.
So far, the clip spacers have been a huge hit with government officials!
When I tell them it used to be stone, even the city hall officials are surprised.
Lately, I’ve often found myself thinking that when it comes to creativity and ingenuity, the newer the materials used, the easier it is to score points, and
I guess the less the government knows, the happier people will be.
I need to make something else before this one gets outdated.
However, the knowledge I currently possess is also becoming outdated.
It is highly likely that a technology that existed yesterday will no longer exist tomorrow.
In today's world, where both knowledge and skills need to be constantly updated, we're always on the go—and I suppose that's why we've finally made it to where we are now.
I'm already gasping for breath, lol.
See you later.
