I’ve been at the volcano when it’s doing this. Sounds like to jet engine.

My resume is still out in ether, so I keep getting emails & calls from recruiters and headhunter looking for F&B managers. Corporate level and local. That ship has sailed. I’m looking forward to sitting in office, meters from the ocean and answering phone calls and solving guest’s problems.

The final of Silo means we really need a season 3.

There’s enough things one can do to live life on a certain edge and and not put your live on the line. I’ve paddled 21 crossings of the Ka’iwi channel, Molokai to Oahu. I’ve paddled other channels in Hawaii. Riding a motorcycle at 100mph on a 2 lane highway is just idiotic to me. Death wish

It’s been a great winter for surfers

Lools like a lot of people miss baseball, me too

The steel guitar player was awesome

For the 6 weeks that I worked on the luau I made all of the food fresh twice a week. No small job

Naupaka. I can tell stories.

Eco waste

Maybe we can give them a ‘better lunch” to not go.

‘Homeless people given free lunch’ to attend Donald Trump Jr event in Greenland

My last day on the front lines of the hospitality industry. Nearly 50 years of running into the fire. 🔥 I’ve done everything. Next week I’ll start working as a PBX operator. Finish my career with a soft landing rather than a crash and burn. Leave something in tank for retirement.

Great story about Bob Ueker

One of may all time favorite comercials

RIP Bob Ueker

Mokulele Grounded. My wife and I were burned by Molulele in 2006. We were scheduled to fly our wedding party from Kona to Molokai on Molulele. They cancelled our flight with 4 days notice. They offered to charter us a plane for $10K. We got married in Waikoloa and have never flown Moulele since.

Couldn’t resist. Had left over baked beans from Waimea Butcher shop. Had to add red Redondo’s hot dogs like we had it as kids.

We used to live in a big house. The amount of stuff we had grew to fill the space. Over a 3 year period from 2017-2020 we downsized. The last step was divesting of a storage locker full of stuff. Now in a small condo we have just enough. We still chip away at things we don’t need.

The older I get the more I take the path of least resistance

If have reason to go to Waimea or are driving through. Have lunch or dinner at the Waimea Butcher shop. Just on the wet side of Waimea, makai of Kamuela Liquors. Don’t look at the price, just order. They make everything scratch. I had pastrami and baked beans today. Double yum!

Hualalai. About the inter-island steamer of the 1930s

Lyrics from Huapala.

Listening to the Kahauanu Lake Trio this evening. The harmonies are smooth and tight and the Hawaiian pronunciations are perfect. They were among the first to use old Hawaiian chants and apply music to them.

Got this beauty from my friend Alvin at Kamuela liquors. I’ve had the pleasure of Alvin for over 30 years. He knew my Dad too.

The French know wine.

Love this view of the Kohala Coast

Road to heaven
