I really really don’t like working mornings. I’ve worked nights most of past 40 years. I love getting home to a quiet home, take a shower and enjoy the solitude.


  1. Clipper Trip. Pan Am.


1951 map. Lots of roads aren’t there yet.


Pop up my okole. It pouring


I found a recipe for an onion soup chick roast. Came out very good on Italian bread


My birthday is next week, but starting now.


Switched to a smaller slow cooker a couple of years ago since it’s just 2 of us. If we do end up moving to California, that will likely increase to cooking for 7 or 8. Right in my wheelhouse.


Is this the twilight of the smartphone?

Fascinating discussion. I use my iphone for 80% + of what I do online. My wife uses her Mac more mostly due to her vision. I ’m old and don’t see a smart phone going away in my lifetime, maybe it just gets smarter.


Sixty minute Onions caramelizing


Put so many miles on one of these. Still like it.


See Honolulu by bus


1964 map and visitor information program of Hawaii island


Waiohai on Poipu beach and the Poipu Beach hotel. 1967. $16 and $14 standard room rate


I’ve had both this yard stick and kilometer stick for a very long time.


Now that I finished the photos. She also left this tin box of slides.


Wow, just found out our association dues are going DOWN 21%. It’s a mid-year adjustment. Condo insurance went down form the pre-fiscal estimates that were based on the post-Lahaina fire increase.


Pau scanning 329 photos left by my Great Auntie who was frequently in Hawaii from 1939-43. Mostly on Hawaii Island. I scanned to PDF. It will maintain better quality for the long term. The originals are likely to go to my daughter. Her other half manages at the Bishop Estate archive.


Kamehameha Ave Hilo 5-5-41


Kalapana (Kaimu) Black sand beach and the Queen’s Bath. 1941


Before entering the Kama’aina discount info, parking at the Hilton Waikoloa was $48/day. WTF. It would be cheaper to park at the shopping center and catch an Uber.
