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”
I Can See Forever . . . maybe not!
September 14, 2024 This is the view from Ahi Road out towards the ocean. Looking down the driveway and over the neighbor’s property. It looks like the driveway needs a little attention. It is getting a bit overgrown. That looks much better! TTFN
Accomplishment
September 13, 2024 I try to accomplish at least one thing every day. No matter how small. No matter how large. One accomplishment. After installing the new carburetor, I got the chipper running and chipped through a large pile of branches. One accomplishment! TTFN

Last Week of May
Sunday May 26, 2024 I have decided on a pattern for the floor in the bathroom at Ahi. “X” marks the spot!” I will pour a big “X” from corner to corner. So I poured one leg of the “X”. I set up the mixer at the bottom of the driveway where I have createdContinue reading “Last Week of May”
Meanwhile, Back on the Mainland
Golfing Before leaving for Hawaii at the end of April, I went golfing at a 9 hole Executive course in Mesa. This course is quite inexpensive and fairly maintained – definitely not in the class of the Phoenician, the Biltmore, Gainey Ranch, or the TPC, but then the greens fees are much more affordable –Continue reading “Meanwhile, Back on the Mainland”
