Friday Alanah is coming to Hawaii for the weekend. I will need to pick her up at the airport in Kona around 3:30 PM this afternoon. So, I cleaned out the car. I even took my little hand broom and swept the sand and dirt out of the back and raised the back seats intoContinue reading “March 3, 2023”

Thursday Overcast and a fine misting rain along with a steady wind. This trip has been that way so far! For a week, I have had almost steady rain, and when the rain dies out, the wind picks up. I have had a steady wind for the past week. Not strong enough to knock youContinue reading “March 2, 2023”

Wednesday I used the last of the propane last night fixing dinner and had none this morning for breakfast. I was also down to one pair of clean socks, so I decided to do laundry this morning first.

Tuesday I have removed the forms from the last two column caps, installed the 4 x 4 post bases, and acid washed all 6 columns to remove the excess mortar and stains. I also hauled some pallets from the Holowai lot and painted the 4 x 4 posts and 4 x 10 beams. TTFN

Monday This last week has been much the same as last Monday – each day, my aches and pains have gotten lesser and I have become more agile. I still cannot bend at the hips. In order to pick something up from the ground, I have had to do it kind of stiff legged. EvenContinue reading “February 27, 2023”

Sunday Overcast but with spots where the sun peeks through. Rain for a few minutes, then it stops, the sun comes out, then it rains, then it stops, then rains again, then the clouds cover the sun, – all this on a rotating basis throughout the morning. I took the rebar I purchased yesterday overContinue reading “February 19, 2023”

Saturday Rain again all day. In the morning, there was a thick fog that I could not see further than 100 feet away. By 10 am the morning for has cleared (as if Richard Harris has made a royal decree). Light drizzle all day long. Went to OceanView to the UCart Concrete place and pickedContinue reading “February 18, 2023”

Thursday Rain most of the day. On and off, a light drizzle. Filled another column at Ahi with concrete. That makes three done, three more to go. Built forms on the top of one column for a concrete cap to be 23″ square by 2 3/4″ thick. I cut a piece of the wire fencingContinue reading “February 16, 2023”
