November 23, 2024 I’m back in Hawaii. On the 18th, I got up at 3:30 AM to catch a 5:30 AM flight out of Phoenix. I landed in Kona (after a layover in Oakland) at 12:10PM. The same two girls were there to welcome me with leis as have been there on every other trip.Continue reading “I’m Baaaack”

My Last Week
October 3, 2024 The last section of the gazebo floor is ready to pour. I haven’t had any more issues with stomach pains at 2:00 AM, but I will go see my doctor when I get back in Arizona. The mixer is set up in the driveway at the road for easy access to theContinue reading “My Last Week”
Less than a Week Left
October 2, 2024 I slept through the night. No 2:00 AM pain. The medication must be working. Or, maybe I had food poisoning from something I ate and it has worked it’s way out of my system! But if that were the case, why did it just happen at 2:00 AM? I have been ableContinue reading “Less than a Week Left”
To End Out The Month
September 28, 2024 Last night, or I should say, this morning, as it was 2:00 AM that I had a repeat of last night’s discomfort. This morning was not as difficult because I knew it would eventually end. But I had the same pain with the same result, except this time I made sure IContinue reading “To End Out The Month”
The Next Three Days
September 26, 2024 The bathroom and the gazebo continue to be my focus. Building forms around the outer edges of the bathroom at Holowai took the better part of the day. These forms are on top of the slab “footings” I started with and will be the basis for the walls. They need to beContinue reading “The Next Three Days”
We Have No Bananas, Today
September 25, 2024 The grass and weeds were getting tall out in front of the gates, so I borrowed my neighbor’s lawn mower and mowed in front of the property. While I had the mower, I mowed both sides of the road and down to the corner. On the way down to the ocean atContinue reading “We Have No Bananas, Today”
Rule the Roost
September 22, 2024 The red headed cardinals are becoming a regular visitor to my feeder. Sometimes they come in pairs, and sometimes they come one at a time. m Inevitably, they are followed by the larger Northern Red Cardinal who prefers to chase all the other birds away and tries to rule the roost, soContinue reading “Rule the Roost”
All For The Birds
September 21, 2024 First, there was one. But it didn’t take long until there were at least five birds partaking of the offerings in the bird feeder. The Hawaiian Honeycreepers seem to have taken over by sheer numbers. They even tend to hold their own with the larger Northern Red Cardinal . . . asContinue reading “All For The Birds”
A Chip off the Old Block
September 18, 2024 I had gathered another pile of branches at the chipper, and decided that today would be a good day to start up the chipper and run them through. So, that is what I did! The pile of chipped material is much smaller than the original pile, and I think that if IContinue reading “A Chip off the Old Block”
Gardening
September 17, 2024 I pulled one of the carrots from my raised garden! It even tasted like a carrot, This carrot has been growing since the last time I was here – that is over two months! I also saw some guavas on a small plant that I didn’t even realize was a guava, overContinue reading “Gardening”
