Shhh


I’ve used Kasa TP-link smart plugs for years, but lately they’ve become so buggy. Losing connection and not reliably reconnecting. Going back to manual

At some point in the near future this beast of an entertainment unit will go to someone free who hauls it. It’s solid wood, old school. Originally from Koehnen’s interiors in Hilo 18 years ago. Comes apart into 4 pieces, but still a beast. Oh, we’re on the 2nd floor.


Raining very hard in Kona. Morning news missed that.


Watched the last 2 episodes of Andor, the Rogue One (untold # of times), then on to episode IV. Pretty seamless flow


Staying off most social networks and just listening to music for mental health.


I’ve been using Netflix since early in the red envelope DVD era. My tastes in movies has only changed marginally, but the Netflix algorithm still sends me recommendations from out in left field.


Another one bites the dust.

How a visit from actor Jon Voight led Trump to post about movie tariffs


#Arseanl ran out of steam. Never got back the mid-season form


Target just waxes over the imperfections in the unfinished concrete. The industrial look.


Poor old sod


From last weekend in St. Helena. This tree was loaded.


Called back some of the contacts we made in Sonoma/Napa over the last week. It’s liking going to take us a year to wind down our lives in Hawaii. We know there’ll be no take backs.

They’ve installed a lot of roundabouts in Sonoma, Napa and even Oakland, seems as though no one explained to people how they work. It’s a clusterfuck in most of them. When we were in Ireland they know how roundabouts work. It was seamless.


This living wall at Oakland airport is awesome. I spotted a few plants I recognized right away. Anthuriums for one. A nice diversion in TSA lines.


Observation during travel in Sonoma/Napa. Most of the cars on the road are small/mid-sized cars. There are lot of work trucks, but stand at any intersection or look at a long line of cars on the highway, mostly sedans


Three messages from Southwest(so far). Boarding time being moved progressively later. Layover in Honolulu getting shorter and shorter.


Here we are. It was a great week in Sonoma and Napa. Not tasting wine, though we did drink some, but time with family and scouting places to live. Really fell in love with the community in Napa. St Helena is a a great little town 5 min away
