I’ve been back in Hawaii for a week now. April 29, 2025 Alanah and I left Phoenix at 6:30AM and flew to Las Vegas. We flew over the Arizona desert north of Phoenix. We had a terific view of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the highway bridge over the dam. While waiting for the nextContinue reading “7 Days of March Makes One Week – the same is true of April/May”

April Showers
Sunday, April 28, 2024 It is raining when I get up and go outside of the shed. . . a light misting kind of rain. In spite of the sprinkling rain, the first thing I do is to put the solar panels on the roof of the shed and hook them up to the controllerContinue reading “April Showers”
I’ve Returned
It is late April, and I have returned to the Big Island. I had a direct flight on a different airline than I normally use. The direct flight with no stops was good, but I miss the “two bags fly free”! I arrived at 5 in the afternoon and caught the 6:00 PM bus toContinue reading “I’ve Returned”

Sunday Rainy, overcast morning. Spent the morning cutting the tall grass at the Ahi lot. On both sides of the driveway, it was 2′ high and spread out 2′ from the driveway. There was tall grass spread out in the rocks on the Hilo side up to the pile of old logs. On the KonaContinue reading “April 23, 2023”

Wednesday I have been lazy. Not that I have been lazy in my work, I have been lazy in not writing in this journal! Now I have to try to catch up! The gazebo at Ahi is complete – it is complete as a gazebo, that it. If it is to become something else, well,Continue reading “April 19, 2023”

Thursday Rain again today Spent the morning in the gazebo at Holowai writing letters. Disassembled a couple of pallets. In the mid afternoon, the rain lightened up so I went over to the Ahi lot. I hauled 6 more of the white painted deck boards over and hoisted them up on to the roof. WhileContinue reading “March 23, 2023”

Wednesday Steady rain all day until 4 PM. Tried to put a tarp over the framework of the gazebo at Ahi, but the tarp I chose has many holes in it! I only succeeded in getting soaked! Took one battery to the auto parts store in OceanView to have them test it. Test result isContinue reading “March 22, 2023”

Monday Painted some of the 2 x 6 decking boards for the Ahi gazebo in my “workshop” at Holowai. Took a shower at a little after 11 AM using the water from my solar water heater. It was quite warm. There was no breeze to make me cold while I showered! Drove to Hilo toContinue reading “March 13, 2023”

Sunday Overcast but with spots where the sun peeks through. Rain for a few minutes, then it stops, the sun comes out, then it rains, then it stops, then rains again, then the clouds cover the sun, – all this on a rotating basis throughout the morning. I took the rebar I purchased yesterday overContinue reading “February 19, 2023”

Saturday Rain again all day. In the morning, there was a thick fog that I could not see further than 100 feet away. By 10 am the morning for has cleared (as if Richard Harris has made a royal decree). Light drizzle all day long. Went to OceanView to the UCart Concrete place and pickedContinue reading “February 18, 2023”
