April 10th. Voigtländer-Braunschweig Nｒ.1003755 Anastigmat Vcigtar 1:4.5
F=11cm.Yesterday, my younger brother brought me two lettuces. Do, for my breakfast, I had a lot of lettuce salad, coleslaw salad, grilled tofu, fried egg, sliced apple, granola yogurt, and cafe au lait.
On April 7, 2025, I bought the Voigtländer-Braunschweig Nｒ.1003755 Anastigmat Vcigtar 1:4.5 F=11cm on Yahoo! Auctions for 2,250 yen (winning bid 1,500 yen + shipping 750 yen). It arrived today.
The fossil lens mounted on a Voigtländer-Bessa. With helicoid. With compur shutter. Shutter driven, but B, T modes disabled, oil film mold. 10 aperture blades, working. Focusing ring movable. I thought the camera is in such bad condition that I will not restore it. I will only use the lens.

April 9th. Sakura pictures.I had coleslaw salad, stewed konjac green onions and pork, some sliced apple, granola yogurt, and cafe au lait for my breakfast. My lunch menu was almost the same.
I made a hood for the Zeiss Icon "NETTAR-Anastigmat" 1:4.5 f=11cm. With modern lenses, I rarely feel the need for a hood while shooting. However, when I'm using a fossil lens, I often feel the need for a hood. So I made my own hood for NETTAR. I painted it matt black and baked it in a gas oven at 250 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Once that was completed, I went to Yasaka Park for a field test. I took some Sakura pictures.
I warmed up some pre-made pork stew I bought at the co-op in the microwave. I had it, coleslaw salad, sliced tomato, fried egg, and sliced apple for my evening meal.

April 8th. Mt.Hokyo .I made a stew with konjac, carrots and pork. I also made fried eggs, celery salad, sliced tomato, natto, and granola yogurt for my breakfast.
I let Miya-O out for a bit while I was out taking out the trash.
The passenger side power window on my FJ stopped working all of a sudden. I panicked a little, but after a while it seemed like I had unintentionally pressed the power window lock botten. Only the passenger side window was locked.
I arrived at Municipal Oda Parking Lot of Mt.Hokyo at 10:30. From there, I walked along the newly constructed hiking trail, "Hokuto no Michi," to the Oda Rest Area. I had forgotten my tripod on the way. I backed to Fujimidai. Although this was a short trip, there was a lot to see. Then I attached to top through Gokurakuji course as usual. I reached the summit at 12:30. I had a monaka at there. This time I didn't have lunch box
I went down the mountain quickly. Today I went up and down faster than usual, so my legs were strained. When I got to the parking lot, I cramped up both of my legs. Ah, so I couldn't move for about 30 minutes after that. I actually wanted to go to the soba restaurant Kimura, but I didn't make it in time 2:30. So I bought and had a Hotdog and Pepsi for 180 Yen at Costco at 3:00.

April 7th. I smelled something like oil. When I woke up this morning, I smelled something like oil. A little bit of oil was leaking from this oil fan heater. It seems that it was rusted and perforated somewhere. I thought briefly repairing it, by soldering the perforated hole, but I gave up on that idea because it would be a safety risk. It's time to throw it away. Yes, this has worked for me for over 15 years.
The weather was so nice today. I cold smell spring. Myao-chan also wanted to go outside.
I sprayed two types of herbicides, glyphosate type and MCPP, in the right places. I added a tiny bit of surfactant to each solution, made 5L each, and sprayed them. I was careful of solution exposure while working and took a shower after work.
I made the very thick miso soup with vegetables (mainly Negi) and tofu, stewed in miso for my evening meal. I also had a carrots bar, the leftover fried sardines.

April 6th. It was crispy and delicious.I woke up early so I tried frying something.
I bought frozen sardines with the heads and guts removed at the co-op.
After thawing, I sprinkled herbs and salt on it, coated it with flour, and fried it. I don't like deep frying, but I do it sometimes. Cleaning up afterwards is a pain.
It was a success, so I took a photo to record it. It was crispy and delicious, even the bones could be eaten. This was my breakfast.
My younger brother brought me a lot of Negi. So for my evening meal, I made and had vegetable soup with lots of Negi.

April 5th. The live house A.C.B.I waked up earlier in this morning than usual. I made spaghetti with plenty of vegetables and clams. It sacsesed well. So I took a picture. I usually take pictures with my iPhone, but sometimes I take pictures with a high-resolution digital camera.
I walked to Yasaka Park to see the cherry blossoms and take some photos. It's about 60% in bloom and will be in full bloom around next Monday or Tuesday.
I pulled weeds from the garden and flower beds.
I made Nissin Chicken Ramen with lots of vegetables, aburaage and eggs. I also made a hot tofu and celery salad for my lunch.
I went to the live house A.C.B.(Ashibe) in Sakai machi at 5pm. My purpose was to take a live performance by Tokunou, a club mate at Photo Kano Club. I had took a few time photos of live performance before, but I wasn't very confident. He was in a bit of a pinch so I decided to do it. I was shooting continuously for almost 20 minutes while he was playing so I might have been able to get some good photos that he would like.
A.C.B. (Ashibe) is a live music venue where amateur musicians pay a performance fee. Of course, the audience also has to pay an admission fee. It costs 1,500 yen per performance (including one drink).
There were 10 musicians performing tonight. The performers later in the sequence are more experienced. Tokunou is the sixth. I thought the performers after him had the skill to provide the entertainment worth the 1500 yen I paid.

April 4th. It was very foggy this morning.I made two servings of Sauce Yakisoba with a lot of vegetables. One was packed in my lunch box and the other was my breakfast. I also had some sliced apple, grilled atsuage, granola yogurt, and cafe au lait.
It was very foggy this morning. It was gotten so warm today. I don't think I'll need a kerosene heater anymore. I've drained all the fuel from the Aladdin Blue Flame. I'm going to put it away.
I put out Sauce Yakisoba from my lunch box and the microwaved. I also made fried egg, salad, sliced apple, and mugicha for my lunch.
I bought a package of nigiri sushi at Torisen for my evening meal. I also had a hot tofu, celery and tomato salad, and cold green tea. Hot tofu is tofu that has been heated in a microwave.

April 3rd. I remodeled my PC power unit. I made a celery coleslaw salad for my breakfast. I'll be cooking celery for a few days.
My cats meow and throw out the anything is on the table to a floor. This is the sign she want to refill food. I gave her enough in the morning, however she did this sign strongly. I gave in and gave her another serving bit of food. I did this three times until she stopped meowing.
I remodeled my PC power unit. But the fan was too big and didn't fit in properly, so I replaced it with a smaller fan.
The power supply unit is a HEC 525VD-T with an output of 450W. It used to be a reliable product, but now it's a bit underpowered. I'm going to modify it as an auxiliary power supply, and together with the 450W main power supply I'll get 900W. In other words, instead of a 900W power supply that costs several tens of thousands of yen, I'm going to use two cheap second-hand power supplies that cost just a few hundred yen each.

I grilled chicken that I had marinated in a mixture of yogurt, mixed nuts paste, and miso three days prior for my evening meal. It smelled and tasted like smoked squid, which is a popular snack. Not bad.

April 1st. Vietnamese pho. I had some leftover celery and tofu soup from yesterday for my breakfast. I also had grilled atsuage, coleslaw salad, sliced tomatoes, a boiled egg, and cafe au lait.
I made oshiruko for my lunch.
Vietnamese pho is a combination of flat noodles made from rice flour and soup.
I made pho with lots of celery for my wvwning meal. It was instant, so all I had to do was boil the noodles and dissolve the soup. I also served it with boiled eggs and sausages.
