January 5, 2022 It is just a little after 6:00 AM and I am on a plane waiting to takeoff for Kona. I will stop in Los Angeles to change planes, and maybe I’ll get pre-cleared for Hawaii. When I got to the TSA Security for “C” gates, the line was out onto the concourse,Continue reading “The Adventure you are ready for is the one you will get. – Jeff Probst”

Our neighbor down the road is an artist. He takes pieces of slate that came from the roof of a historic church in Honolulu and carves a picture into them. Typically. the picture is Hawaiian based. We went to the farmer’s market in Waiohinu where he displays his work on Fridays. Here are a coupleContinue reading “Scott Manley”
Hukilau
A Hukilau is a way of fishing. It comprises a large net with a rope around the net that has ti leaves tied to the rope. The ti leaves would scare the fish into the net as the community of people would all pull on the rope, making it close up the net. Everyone whoContinue reading “Hukilau”

I was deleting files on my computer, and came across this file. It is a log of my trip in November 2019. I think this was my first solo trip to Hawaii. November 2, 2019 4:30 AM SuperShuttle pick up at home and ride to Airport. 6:00 AM Delta flight from Terminal 3 at PhoenixContinue reading “November 2019”
Return to Paradise – 8/28 & 29
We went to the beach today. Ok, it isn’t a “beach” in the traditional Hollywood fashion, white powdered sand, waving palm trees, cabanas every ten feet, lounge chairs and cabana boys who bring you drinks with the little umbrellas – It is more of a shore line. A rocky shore line with short clifs whereContinue reading “Return to Paradise – 8/28 & 29”
Return to Paradise – 8/27
After the lavish welcome and wonderful feeling of the Aloha spirit we received at the Hawaii MVD, we headed out to do some shopping. We purchased six 2 x 4 x 12 for the eastside porch of the shed, a large and heavy digging bar for dislodging large rocks, and a mini refrigerator. I hadContinue reading “Return to Paradise – 8/27”
Return to Paradise – 8/26 – Hawaii MVD
Thursday 8/26/2021 The lumber yard has been calling and leaving messages about my delivery. Apparently, half the stuff on the order is unavailable and they may not have it for three weeks – but when they do have it, they will deliver it for free. Every time I call them back, the phone rings, andContinue reading “Return to Paradise – 8/26 – Hawaii MVD”
Return to Paradise – Continued
Friday – 8/20/20201 Worked on the gates. When I built them, I was one slat short. I purchased one more slat when I arrived on Wednesday and when I went to put it in place, it was wider than the space. This meant that I needed to either cut it down, which would make itContinue reading “Return to Paradise – Continued”
Return to Paradise – Continued – the long walk home
8/19/2021 After getting off the bus, I walked back up the highway about a hundred feet or so before turning onto Kama’oa Road. I walked past a couple of houses to the left and the highway maintenance yard on the right. I was glad that there was a full moon as it was starting toContinue reading “Return to Paradise – Continued – the long walk home”
Return to Paradise – Continued – 8/19
Thursday 8/19/2021 I set up three of the four solar panels on the roof of the shed. I need to either cut off the connectors from the fourth or get connectors to continue the leads. I hooked the panels to the controller and to the two batteries. The controller shows that they are charging. AfterContinue reading “Return to Paradise – Continued – 8/19”
