Wednesday
Took 4 new solar lights over to Ahi. Took the ones on the address sign off and put 3 of them on in their place. then i put 1 new one along with the one that was on the address sign and was dim last night, onto the Galleon’s Lap sign.
In the morning, I continued on clearing out the grass on the Kona side of the driveway. There has got to be a better way to do this than with hand clippers.
In the afternoon, I went down to Honuapo and swam in the two shallow pools – I didn’t really “swm” as they are only about 2 feet deep. The water was refreshing and relaxing.
I did not go over to the deeper pool where I could actually swim because the pool shoes I was wearing were falling apart. I was afraid that I would end up walking back to the car barefooted over the sharp lava.
I wanted to stop at the farmer’s market for bananas, but I had left my cash in my dirty jeans back at Holowai, so I had to drive back to the property to get some money. I have tried to get money out of my Arizona bank account at the credit union in town, but they won’t deal with it unless you have an account with them, and their atm fees are over $5.
After retrieving some cash, I went to the farmer’s market and got bananas (a hand of six bananas weighing about 2 pounds for $5 ) and a pint of honey – $18.00!
After returning to Arizona, I bought bananas at the grocery store. Three bananas weighing 2 lbs cost me 81 cents!
Off to the park to fill up a few water bottles and then back to the Ahi lot to clear grass along the southwest property line – the opposite side from where the driveway is located.
I was able to pick a few guavas from the Ahi lot.
