WOW! It’s July Already!
July 1, 2025 My neighbor had shiped his artwork and display racks to Oahu for the Haleiwa Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago, and then had to ship it back to Hawai’i island after the festival was over. The shipping port is in Hilo, and he asked me to help him bring it backContinue reading “WOW! It’s July Already!”
The Last of June
June 15, 2025 The need to go downtown to Naalehu today prompted me to fill the back of the truck with my empty water containers. I take every opportunity to make each trip into town well worth it by hauling water back with me. I stop off at the trash transfer station where there areContinue reading “The Last of June”
First Weeks of June
May 31, 2025 As I was walking from the truck in the driveway, back to the gazebo, I noticed something by the pile of pallets there! A male Jackson chameleon! – click on the picture above for a short video. The pond/waterfall/ fountain is coming along nicely. I check back with the chameleon, and heContinue reading “First Weeks of June”
Birds, Beams, and Brainstorming
My mind was a blank for a title for this post. So I asked for suggestions for a title. This is what I got! May 12, 2025 Breakfast at the gazebo includes a visit from the birds.

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”
The First Day Back
Friday, August 16, 2024 Sunshine when I got up this morning, and then around 11:00 AM the clouds moved in and it rained most all afternoon. Nothing heavy, just a slow steady drizzle. In the morning, I set up the solar panels on the roof of the shed at Holowai. Then I went to theContinue reading “The First Day Back”
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”
