AAV Drop Ship

So, are you going to bring out the welder for this job?
Seriously, the aluminum looks fantastic!

Thank you, Ken-san
Haha, I don't even have a welder here. In fact I am using a Lock tight glue - I think this thing is made in USA - specific version of Impact resistance for metal work for the small parts. Also, I'm using a silicone corking for the wide area. It takes a little while longer to be hardened but very strong.

I'm just pausing the build for a time being. Because my wife got a depression lately. I took her to a doctor and he said she should take a leave a month or two. She will be alright but I know the awfulness of this because I had suffered long time ago. My mother came to my house as good listner for her just like she did to me then. I will start up the build in a few days.
 
Katsu-san, all the best for your wife, yourself and the family.I pray that she will recover fully, so that your smiles can once more warm and brighten the house.Please (tell her to) hold on and be strong; the sun will shine again for you both.
 
You could try a book that was recommended to me called "Feeling Good" by David Burns. I don't know if its been translated into Japanese but I've started reading it and I have found it very helpful. Its worth a try.
I hope everything works out for your family.
 
Thank you, thank you very much for your warm kind words and support.
Ken-san, I'm gonna find that book you recommend.
She is now apart from the things that has been threatening her.
She needs a time to forget those once and reboot.
She is a strong woman. She got over many thing happened to us recently. But I think, maybe strong person is not mean strong for him/her self. I can't even express what I'm thinking with my words. But I feel very shame that I couldn't catch up what she feels and warring lately.
That was my big fault. I thought everything is going on well. I knew she is less speaking woman.
I was forgetting the very important thing.
I was working on an airline. JAL.
My boss used to always told me. Flying over the air is basically very dangerous. You must never ever think it's safe. If you forget and beginning to think we are doing well, passengers are going into disaster. To keep the safety, we can never stop paddling under the water.
Safety and happiness is the same thing. If I thought my families are going well and forgot to paddle under the water, we will have trouble.

Anyway, I want to do anything I can.
Thank you very much, gentlemen. my friend.

All the best. my friends.

Great work on this drop-ship Katsu - as always, I am in total admiration of your workmanship

I have to say though, (and this doesn't happen on a regular enough basis) I physically laughed out loud when I read this

Wife: Woow, what a beautiful roses.......what did you buy?
Me: What!? Noo!
Wife: OK, tell me, what do you want to buy?

I hope your wife feels better soon. Keep buying the flowers though!
Will be looking forward to your next update when it comes
 
Many many thanks, Madhatter-san!

Humor, that's what we need now.
That's what we often forget when we are down.
That's what you western people good at!
Yes, we will keep it in our mind.
Yes, she will be better in no time.

All the best!
 
Katsu-san, I believe that you did everything within your power to take care of and make your family happy, and there is no shame in that.Whatever shortcomings you think you had up to now with regard to your wife and her condition, I think it's safe to say that now that you are aware of them, you will give and do even more for your loved ones.And that is to be commended(y) please don't be to tough on yourself.

Roses, humor and time together will make all wrongs right, Katsu-san.Best regards to the family
 
Depression is hard to deal with. I have loved ones who suffer from it. I think the hardest part for them is people expect them to "just get over it" and act normal like it is a choice for them. With help they can overcome it, but they need lots of support and ways to cope. That is not always easy

Good luck!
 
I told her many of my best friends at the other side of this planet are worrying about you and hoping you get well soon. We have less friends near by and she thanked me that I have many good friend and thanking you for your kindness. We have never met you all in person but somehow we feel like you are the nearest. She is getting able to sleep better these days and laughing a bit louder at my bad joke. My daughter and my mother are always by her. We are having a dinner with talking many old things. My mother discloses many things I did when I was a troubling brat. Jeee.

We are OK. We have a friend there.

Best regards,

Katsu
 
Thank you for the update on her situation and the good news about laughter (and bad jokes;)), Katsu-san.
Please be strong and happy, all of you(y)
 
One of the issues with depression is that the person affected feels worthless and unimportant. These feelings are not logical but real to the person feeling them. Do your best to make her feel important to and loved by your family. I'm sure you are already doing that!
 
Go on joking with her, with them.
That's a ptetty good cure!

My best thoughts for your family

Bouq-san. thank you very much!

Thank you for the kind advice, Ken-san.

Yesterday, we went to the doctor for checking her condition.
Doctor said she is getting better inch by inch but do not think much about her suspended work or any other troubling thing.
She arranged a flower on the room and sews our surgical masks.

You know, there's a mayhem about a corona virus here, surgical masks are all gone from the drug store. I don't think it's effective defense for the virus but public majority may not allow who doesn't put it on. So our ladies made this many for the family. I ordered a camo version for mine.

Me: May be I can use this for my fancy codpiece when this mayhem is over, can I?
Wife: I guess it's a bit too large for you.
Me: .............
Well, lets pull my self together and put up a little progress.

Good to hear your wife may be on the way to felling better

I love the new nosecone details as well!

As far as the masks, I believe you are correct in that they are not a recommended defense for anyone who is well.

Even the CDC here says it "does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others,"

Surgical mask are only designed to keep pathogens from the doctor's nose and mouth from entering the surgical field. They're not designed to keep out viral particles

i.e. it for people who are already sick, it can help catch any snot/bodily fluids that contain the virus but that is about it

if you are healthy, simple washing of hands and other precautions should be good enough.

And wearing a mask could actually sometimes be more harmful to you than not wearing a mask, because if it's not fitted right you're going to fumble with it. You're going to be touching your face, which is the No. 1 way you're going to get disease, is unclean hands touching your face.

plus, wearing a mask all day and breathing into it would create a warm moist environment collecting all kinds of nasty stuff right in the worst place
