Had lunch at a relatively new burrito place in Kona Coast shopping center. It was good. Large portions.


Lots of solar panels on Home Depot


Celebrity chefs are fun to watch but over rated. After awhile, you’re doing nothing to make the food any better. I had an instructor chef in culinary school who commonly said “buy good ingredients and don’t fuck ‘em up”


Good win for #Inter. Want Patrick Vierra to keep is job at Genoa, just not against Inter


If I ignore a court order. A marshal shows up at my door. When the White House ignores the court order nothing happens.

Federal Judge to Trump: No, You Can’t Ban DEI


I’ve been using mailbox.org as my email server for 10 years now. When I moved away from Gmail 20 years ago, I used hover.com, but wanted something offshore and more secure. Been very happy with mailbox. Help is very responsive. Not paranoid by nature, but that seems like a good move in this era.


Here it is

Trump’s revolution will end badly — for himself, and for America - The Hill


Zero Day was good entertainment. No where near a classic, but entertaining.


I rarely use recipes at home. I’ve been cooking for over 50 years. I just look at what food I have and make something we want to eat.


Think I’ve fallen out of love with Marvel MCU. It’s become stale. Will likely still watch a few of their properties Don’t feel that way about Star Wars. Still look forward to new Star Wars releases


The tipping point for me was $700 for deprecated iPhone 16e.


Not sure if we should start looking into flights to DC for the insurrection or gather provisions and look for a cave in the mountain to climb into.

Turns out my 13Pro stands up well I don’t expect to use Apple intelligence

iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 16e - Apple


Ran a spreadsheet on our retirement without social security. Much tighter, but we can swing it the cushion becomes the main thing. Still a lot of unknowns.


Today’s cold adult beverage


We had 2 trips planned this year. 1 to Sonoma for Granddaughter’s 1st and scout for our move. The 2nd to N Dakota to see my Wife’s family. Looks like ND trip is off since Trump came back. My wife is pissed at how her family is acting. They’re fine since oil, don’t give a rip about anyone else.


My gut sense is congress will step back from the ledge on SS and Medicare. They will get absolutly skewered when they go back home. They may do a 10 year staged decrease of medicaid that can be corrected by Dems after midterms (if we have elections). It will cause mayhem until then.


Always loved the arrangement of this song by Sons of Hawaii. It’s about a waterfall and slippery slide in the Kawaihau district of Kauai fed by the Keali`a stream

I’m guess my days at the Outrigger Kona are done. Really liked working there. HR decided they won’t let back to work with ANY restrictions on my shoulder. That’s never gonna happen. A shoulder replacement is not a new shoulder, it’s a functional shoulder-with restrictions. Oh well
