It is absolutely dead still in Kona. Not a wisp of air movement
The only relief is the ocean thermal onshore breeze, but you have to be right on the shore for any benefit
My regular coffee place closed today, so sat on a wall to chill and the Kolea walks right by me to the water near the showers for a drink. He’s now back on the wall about 5’ from me.
As I go through my Hawaiian Music collection, I feel so fortunate to have seen so many of the greats live. I had friends and family that shared my love of traditional as well as the burgeoning contemporary scene of the 70s and 80s and was able to see them play all over O’ahu.
Just bought the short film about George Helm. Look forward to watching it tommorow. I have his music and listen often. I have good friends that are part of the Protect Kaho`olawe ‘Ohana that was a founder of.

Apple Music stats. I have 24,250 songs in my iTunes Match playlist. This is music that I brought into the iTunes ecosystem. 7,472 albums in my library. It’s still growing
This is the group I was with fishing in Craig Alaska in June 2006. This was on a stream closer to Klawock. This was the day that ironically ended my outrigger canoe paddling career. Had a freak fall on the stream bed and tore my (already compromised) shoulder up. Didn’t lose fish I had on the line.
Watching the Guns of Navarone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probable seen it over 100 times. Used to watch it with my Dad whenever it came on. It popped up on Netflix so why not?
My wife and I have set a 6 month window to determine whether to start the ball roling to retire in Sonoma or just hunker down here in Kona for the duration. We’re going there in a month to get a serious look around. Then hopefully whatever is going to happen to SS and medicare is sorted by then.
I’m in a generally annoyed state over what’s going on in the US. Every pillar of society we’ve built over 80 years & grown to enjoy, expect and rely on is under attack. I’m annoyed that our retirement is in doubt. I’m annoyed I have to protests my own country. My music is my only escape.
Love this episode of PBS Hawaii Na Mele. Tony has so much respect for the history of Hawaiian Music. youtu.be/57Tb0SOV9…
When we walk at the Mauna Lani resort, we often stop at the Eva Parker Woods Cottage at Kalahuipua’a to chill. We heard all of this Ruckus coming from the Hau trees behind. Counted at least 8 Egret nests among 3 trees with the chicks making all the noise.
