The wind in #Barstow is amazing. Almost like a storm on the coast. The site employee who drove me this visit was amazed to learn I don't know how to drive. "We have trains in Japan. A parking space is more expensive in parts of Tokyo than an apartment". I promised to show him the city if he visits

Work is done in #Barstow. A solar site, one must work at night. This morning was testing. Good thing to be done because time zone change is very difficult for short trips.

My current project in California is for a solar facility. The goal is to improve the heat transfer capability of the plant in order to improve electricity production. Solar is not an industry I normally work in. It is a welcome challenge.

Looking out my hotel window in #Barstow #California, I feel like I am on Western movie set. Get long little doggies!

Going to warm, remote #Barstow #California for work. We will be commissioning and testing for medium voltage gear for the #Solar industry. I always feel like I'm in a classic #Western film here. Very different than Shinjuku.

#NASA and #SpaceX launched the Nancy Grace radio telescope today. Glad to have provided a minor assistance.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Start of work day here at #California. At a major US port for work. #Tired. Looking forward to a rather quick in and out job for a return back to Shinjuku.

Greetings from #Atlanta. I recently completed an assignment in #PA for a pipeline. Next, to #Utah. I will send a few weeks there commissioning another facility. I think I am spending to much time in #USA on airplanes and airports.

Remote tuning for a US based aerospace company in #texas. Tired. Sick. But work must happen.

Not sure what US city, but pretty.

I am not a fan of American airlines or Charlotte International Airport.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

At the airport. This begins a long series of flights back to #Japan. Maryland steamed crabs are as good as I remember them. Farewell #Maryland.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Finished work on Eastern Shore of #Maryland. I got to watch my favorite US baseball team #Orioles on TV. Tomorrow starts very long series of flights back to #Shinjuku.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

On the way to the Eastern Shore of #Mayland to do work for about a week. This will be the first time I have worked in this particular US state since I had to commission the quay cranes at the port of #Baltimore. I look forward to steam crabs at some point this work trip.

Done with work for the day. Very tired. Going to try and stay up for a world cup game between #Argentina and #Algeria.

Goose Lake #nunavut #Canada has a stark, desolate beauty to it. No #polar #bears spotted yet. But I just get here.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Greetings #Edmonton. It has been a while since I have been in Canada, the last time either #Vancouver or #Hamilton. As I have gotten older, the trans Pacific flights have gotten more difficult on me. Very early tomorrow, I head to #Yellowknife.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

I look forward to reaching #Edmonton tomorrow. Next day, #Nunavet. This will be the farthest north I have traveled.

Goodbye #titusville #florida. It was a good work trip. I look forward to my return to family in #Shinjuku.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Very disappointed in the "scrubbed" launch today. It was however a very successful load up of propellant. I look forward to a second attempt tomorrow and must thank my wife and son for putting up the with Dad's crazy hours.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

T-1.5 hours until Starship Flight 12. Tank farm chill in still in progress. Estimate propellant load within the hour. Amazing and very happy to be assisting.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Exciting things happening today at SpaceX. Very happy to provide remote support. Up early to help out!

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

I am very happy to say that the last four VFD's I have commissioned have had no issues. The #Space #Coast is a really neat place to visit and I am glad to have played a small role in the US space exploration efforts. Farewell #Orlando. Util we meet again.

Made seafood curry in hotel. It won't be as good as my wife's.

In Florida. I am visiting Cape Canaveral to do work with #NASA. Should be fun. Only took 7 hours to get through security.

Currently working on a Toshiba T300MV2 drive. It is always interesting to see how our cousins do things. Lol.

Potato factories are very interesting to visit. Very friendly, professional people who are a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the wonderful time #Idaho.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

#American potato plants are fascinating. Here in #Burley, #Idaho, I am working at one of the most advanced french fries plant in the world. This one IS makes approximately 1/4th of the global french fries sold. Their data collection on their process is amazing!

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Back in #USA. Specifically #Idaho. I will be providing assistance to a French fry, or as many people call them, chip factory. First time in potato factory. Should be interesting.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

I want to wish the many #Americans I work with remotely and in person, a wonderful #Christmas. Especially the fine folks in #Brownsville, #Tx who I am assisting currently from #Shinjuku. It is amazing to me how hard American engineers work.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

I am up very early. 0350 here in Shinjuku. To support customer in Bocha Chicha, #TX. I cannot thank my wife and child enough for putting up with my strange hours. #field #engineering

Goodbye in the morning #Denver. I am very happy your shredder is working. I look forward to returning to #Shinjuku. Until the next time #US.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Finally, after a week of #delay in #Denver, we are shredding metal.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Customer in #Denver. "Switchgear is broken. We won't be ready until Tuesday so go ahead and travel home and come back on Monday". I don't think he knows how far Shinjuku, Japan is.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

In #Denver. Industrial recycling plant. #Troubleshooting the feeder transformer. I always feel meloncoly whenever seeing the #Westinghouse logo. Such a large company that went under due to bad investments. Trying to find wiring diagram and part numbers from the 1980's.

Nakamura-san @defaultuserhandle.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Is this poisonous? I am in the #US on a job in #Utah. Looks dangerous.
