The Aftermath and Thanks...PART ONE

まだまだ膝が痛い!!年だからね!
皆様本当に有難うございました。。。
My knees are still sore, but I have finally shaved off my dreadful beard.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have helped us, by donating, cheering us on, feeding us, lubricating our insides and making us smile and feel proud of our efforts.
Here is a mention/shout out to as many as we can remember - part one only, part two tomorrow.
If you are ever in and around Kyushu/Japan then please feel free to ask us for any information.
