#18 INOKI

Pauline is due here tomorrow from Manila. She will be here until August when she has to go to Japan, I’ll probably go there to help set her up then we will decide what I will do from then on.

How's thing going on your end? I lot going on over here.....Some of this you may already know but here goes anyhow.

Francis was over here with a couple of doctor friends (Plastic surgeons) they were doing some chartable work on the locals. In between time they went diving. I took them over to Blue hole, Blue Corner and your favorite, Jellyfish Lake. Over all they had a great time.

The Fish ‘N Fins photo contest was not too bad. Navot's not talking to me which is good in a way, but a lot of the guys are my friends and I didn’t t feel comfortable just going over there to say "Hi"

Mr. Inoki, Japan's living legend came here about one week ago. He’s actually the guy I’m working for now. What's he famous for you may ask? He was a professional wrestler, now he's a big time promoter. Go to yahoo and enter "Inoki Japan" as just see how many hits there are. He actually killed at least two guys in the ring!! Back in the 70’s he fought Mohamed Ali and beat him! But to save face they called it a draw. The Japanese goes crazy over this guy. It's really amazing. So I actually had to work on the weekend. Two days in a row, even! I don't think I signed up for this kind of manual labor, I have to look at my contract to see if that's in there someplace, more than likely somewhere in the fine print I would imagine.

We went to the Tototo restaurant (formally Mingles) the place was packed. When Mr. Inoki walked in the whole place went bananas. They all started clapping and cheering. Everyone (at least 50 or more) wanted to get his or her picture taken with him. I have to give him credit he was extremely friendly to everyone and even invited 6 girls up after we ate to sign autographs. I was the only "Round Eye" in the whole place, which was pretty strange in itself, but not enough for any one to ask for my autograph though. I only hope when I'm a living legend I can be as gracious as he was. I may limit the actual number of autographs or perhaps charge a nominal fee just to keep the thing under control and not get too out of hand. Then again I think that what the "My Agent" is suppose to do.

Anyways we spent today over at Inoki Island as well. I did a little snorkeling and took a nap. It's about 5:00 pm now and we are having dinner again at Tototo's at 6:30. This job is really tough; I mean I could hardly stay awake after eating lunch. But I do have an excuse the neighbors had some kind of party last night and were blasting their stereo until 4:00 am. I finally got some sleep when they started again at 7:00 this morning. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if they were playing some good music, but they kept playing the same song over and over again. All I can say is that they are very lucky that guns are no permitted on this Island!

Mr. Inoki says he has a "Machine" that puts out more energy than it takes in which is impossible. So we have a bet, if it works I'll shave my mustache! If it works it would be worth millions if not billions but off hand I'd say that I'm going to have my mustache for quite some time. It sounds like a classic con job. He has given the guy $100,000.00 so far. Speaking of which, I may go to Japan for a few days to see “The Machine” Mr. Inoki wants my opinion if it’s real or not. All his “people” are “Yes men” and are afraid to tell him “NO”

I am working on transferring me over to “Lights” which is his company. It's fine with Francis and believe it or not it's fine with Navot. Then again I have the Power of attorney so I’m just signing all the papers myself I'll still keep the power of attorney for Francis just to keep Navot on his toes.

Speaking of Navot he fired Steve. It was a real mess; he even called the police on him. Steve got a job over at Neco and went back to the UK to visit his girlfriend. Suppose to be back sometime next week?

Richard fell in Love with a Philippine lady and has run off to PI to get married! I never met the girl but I think she’s taking him for a ride. When she went back to PI she didn’t want him to see her off at the airport and when Richard said that he would go back with here she told him he had to wait for at least 2 weeks…Sound like she has at least one possible two husbands too me…

The plane's coming along real good still waiting for the tubing. I sent Alex (the tube guy) an email saying please hurry up and ship as I'm just about done all the things I can do with out the tubing. Been working on the wiring the last few days. One or two minor problems but nothing I can't eventually over come. If fact I am starting Palau’s first flying club. We had our first meeting this afternoon. Not a big turn out but it least it’s a start. When I get the tubing I will have it up and flying in about one week. The rest on the plane is completely done. Looks really cool. I’ll send photos…

Other than that, things about the same over here.

Ok, it’s about that time.

Take care,

Lenny
