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

Vehicle Maintenance

August 18, 2024 I changed out the sway bar links on the Ford Explorer Sport Track. It was quite easy to do. The rubber bushings on one of them were all worn out so it was making a “clunk” sound every time I went over a bump – and I go over alot of bumpsContinue reading “Vehicle Maintenance”

Getting Back in the Groove

August 17, 2024 – Saturday It was sunny this morning, and overcast and humid in the afternoon. Using my weedeater, I trimmed the weeds and tall grass between the kitchen gazebo and the shed. Then I turned to trimming the weeds that create the pesky little burrs from the area arond the tire garden andContinue reading “Getting Back in the Groove”

Life on the Mainland

I will be treturning to Hawaii around the middle of August. In the mean time, I will be enjoying the 100 plus degree weather in Arizona . But hey, it is a dry heat! Golf After returning from Hawaii, I was invited to golf the Biltmore Country Club. I made the fourth in a foursomeContinue reading “Life on the Mainland”

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”

Another Week in May

Sunday May 19, 2024 Below the kitchen gazebo, there are two rock lined gardens – three including the one at the edge of the lanai. In two of these, I had placed some cucumber seeds. They have sprouted. Above the garden where the cucumber seeds have sprouted, is another tier of garden that has anContinue reading “Another Week in May”

May Continues

May 12, 2024 Spraying my vegetable plants with insect repellant wasn’t such a good idea. It seems that the insect repellant is having more effect on the young plants than on the insects. They have all turned brown and are whithering up! I grabbed some water and put it into my garden sprayer and triedContinue reading “May Continues”

Second Week of May

Tuesday May 7, 2024 A little over a week ago, I had ordered some lumber and block and rebar from a building materials supply company in Kona. It was delivered today. It was the same delivery company, but a different driver. He told me that the other driver no longer worked for them. The companyContinue reading “Second Week of May”
