Hoping the storm passes. The Waimea Cherry Blossom festival is scheduled for tomorrow. The last time we went in 2023 it was stormy. Not pleasant

We’ve slipped into this period of light drizzles, punctuated by momentary heavier downpours as the storm recedes to the north on its way to N California.

I lived in Hilo for 15 years. Kona feels like that today.

I stopped backing Kicksterter projects a few years ago after a string of debacles. I did back Tapestry (known dev) and IAQ Air quality monitor. Both are late, but the IAQ will be delivered tommorow (a year late) and Tepestry on Tuesday.

Snow on Mauna Kea

The wind is pretty much gone. Still sopped in

We haven’t had this much sustained rain in Kona since the hurricane near miss in 2016

In Kona it started raining about 1am. Hard rain and some lightning about 3 am. Not much lightning. Still coming down pretty hard at 6 am.

If California puts succession on the ballot, I’ll expedite my move there so I can vote for it.

Finally got my fiber modem, router and switch all on an APC battery back-up. The only hope is when (not if) the power goes out that the Hawaiian Tel switching center is either on battery back-up or is not affected by the same black out. 🤞

Not only do I have no interest in the NFL championship, I’m finding I am not even curious about the commercials

Hawaii is playing hide and seek. 3 images are water vapor, bottom right is satelite.

Watching Twin Peaks. Just because.

It’s raining in Volcano, Hawaii Island, so Halemaumau crater is filled with steam, making the cameras useless

The recording of Peter Moon Harbor Lights on my phone was ripped from vinyl. Can hear the scratching of the needle in the grooves between songs. Love that that sound was preserved.

Going back to reread this gem.

This was on display towards the front of Costco Kona. Right after the sign that said “sorry we are out of eggs”. That’s just cruel.

Cruise ship in Kailua bay. It will have to head back west into the incoming storm.
