I have been able to do without smoking for six years and two hundred and fifty-one days in a row.
I was able to keep over 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-eighth straight
day including the most recent two days of 27-time push-ups.

I was very surprised to hear that Tokyo had seen rainy days for the sixteenth consecutive day.
This is said to be the first time in forty years.
By constrast, I feel Nagoya has not seen so many rainy days so far.
By the way, I've noticed that new babies of rice ears in the rice paddies on my way
to the workplace have begun emerging, which means this year's harvest season is
steadily drawing nearer and nearer.
Well, I may have to begin planning to do a middle-distance walking in fall.

I was able to keep no-smoking for six years and two hundred and fifty days in a row.
I tried increased the number of push-ups by only one time to 27 times and was able to
keep more than 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-seventh successive day.

Finally, I've got the reason why my PC's Internet access has been unstable.
The IE-10 is always trying to have access to IPv6, but my WiFi router is for IPv4.
Actually, I was considering whether to change its configuration to IPv6, but
I've had second thought and I've unticked the IPv6 of my PC.
Now, I'm waiting and see about this.

It has been six years and two hundred and forty-nine days in a row since I shook off a bad habit of smoking.
I was able to keep 26-time push-ups for the nineteenth straight day and at least
16-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-sixth consecutive day.

It's quite cloudy in Nagoya but I must be lucky because it's not raining around
my workplace here though weather ladies said it would be rainy.
The temperatures are not severe and are about 25 degrees or so.
I have just stopped using an electric fan.
Today may be a holiday for many ordinary people but actually for me today is my workday.
I have to renew my resolve to work earnestly against lingering summer heat.

Six years and two hundred and forty-eight days in a row have passed since I broke free from smoking.
I was able to keep over 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-fifth
successive day including the latest eighteen days of 26 times of them.

It's cloudy in Nagoya and sometimes sunny.
I think it must be lucky for us that clouds are blocking severe late-summer heat.
The shrilling of cicadas is turning into weak buzzing, which makes me feel
this year's fall is just around the corner.
Weather ladies say cloudy or rainy days will continue the next several days,
which may allow me to feel a little relaxed, anyway.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and two hundred and forty-seven days in a row.
I was able to keep 26-time push-ups for the seventeenth straight day and more than
15-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-fourth consecutive day.

It's still hot and humid though I feel it's getting milder and milder little by little.
And I think one of the biggest features of late-summer heat is that the time length of
the day's highest temperature is getting much shorter than dog days of summer.
By the way, I'm very afraid I've come to forget more and more easily as I get older,
but actualy I cannot do anything about that.

I have been able to do without smoking for six years and two hundred and forty-six days in a row.
I was also able to keep at least 16-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-third
successive day including the most recent sixteen days of 26 times of them.

I've noticed that this year's fall is steadily drawing nearer and nearer because
the height of rice plants on my way to the workplace has grown to the fullest
and the angles of sunlight are gradually lowering.
Anyway, let's survive this lingering summer heat, first.
