Next week we’re going to Santa Rosa for a short trip to see family. We have 1 3/4 days to play. My wife really wants to go to Sausalito, I’m leaning for a short trip Muir Wood after.

We have reservations at the St. Francis winery. Then maybe Sebastopol or up to Healdsburg. Any suggestions?

Got $5 Starbucks cards for the flight attendants on our trip to America (Sonoma) next week

Is there an algorithm to block all political ads that are shown to me once my ballot is sent in?

I hope Hawaii island does something about this. It’s danger for everyone. I see them regularly blow stop signs and I have to dodge them on my regular walks on Alii Drive.

Ironman week. Here a load bussing downtown for the parade. Lots of cyclists zooming by.

Lots surfers out at Banyans for the meager choice of waves.

Still holding out for the new Mac Mini. If it’s truly that small, it can go anywhere.

Did update and tried the hearing test. Had change the tip. Sound was leaking. Took about 10 min. I little no loss. My wife might disagree.

Not bad for a 65 that went to a lot concerts. I won’t need to assist to hearing. Nice feature though.

We had about 6 month of fresh white peaches at Kona Costco. That season is officially over. Back to fresh Apples with my breakfast. Winter cold storage fruit.

4 more wins. #Dodgers.

Yard!

It’s not an excuse and we’re catching up. But in my early career (1st 20 years) in the restaurant business, there was no such thing as a retirement plan. Benefits weren’t a thing. Being young and poor, free food was a benefit. My wife has been in healthcare. She says retirement was always offered.

My Dad always said this is a right and a responsibility. He used to say of you enjoy the freedoms, then exorcise your right. When we were kids, he would take us in the voting booth to see the process. Never been an option in my mind.

Took my car into the dealer for service. Stopped for a cup of coffee Joe before walking home.

Pele is getting restless again

You know the whole body soreness, the morning after you compete in an athletic event? For me it was the morning after paddling in the Molokai to O`ahu canoe race. That’s how I feel every morning.

My wife is a germ phobe. I’m the opposite. I embrace germs. She gets sick pretty often. I rarely get sick. Not sure if that’s the reason, but if I start getting sick I’ll rethink my behavior

We finally saw it, and a near full moon. Halloween style

The 11.1 update has been killing my Apple Watch battery. Getting little more than 12 hours. Turned off Live Activities, which I like, to see if that helps.
