Massive pre COVID type crowd for the Kona Christmas parade

Alii Drive is packed for the parade

It’s crazy that 3 teams from the Dakotas are in the FCS Semi Finals. S. Dakota, SDSU, and NDSU. Something in the water up there

Spent the day with my daughter. Her GF had to work in the hotel room, an emergency came up. We went to market at Pukalani Stables in Waimea. Got some REALLY fresh poi. $5/# and some dried ice cream sandwiches. Then Queen’s marketplace (Manaola pop us store). Kona Christmas parade tonight.

Manaola pop up store at Queens Marketplace. Just opened. Had a line waiting. It’s packed

When my wife and I have plans for the day, we are up and out by 9ish am. My daughter and her GF, not so. Almost 10 and they are working on coffee. Go with the flow.

Sorry. An $800 suitcase is multiple time more valuable than what I would put in it.

Forest sure pulled one out over Villa. Quite an end to that match.

CVS is relentless with text messages about prescription refills. I can’t take them any faster. I need a refill when I need a refill.

My daughter just got in from O’ahu. Flight was late. We’ll catch a late dinner and talk for a while. She brought her Friend. She’ll be 40 in 2025 and looks amazing. My baby

My wife got on an earlier flight ✈️ from O’ahu. Now delayed. Flat tire and pilot called out. Friday the 13th.

Happens to me all the time.

I’m canceling any regular email newsletters that focus on negativity and what’s wrong rather than what’s possible in the current climate.

I’ll be running the Outrigger Kona Luau. There’s been a turnover of staff and it needs some stability and organization. This will be fun.

Don’t give this wahine the air time. She’s being stupid.

I haven’t been up and out this year in years. Lowes is busy. Dropped my wife at the airport.

Keep in mind, I’m from an era where subscriptions to magazines was regular. I have never subscribed to Time. I did for Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, Inc., Popular Mechanics, PC Magazine and few others on and off

I bought my first Apple Watch for health reasons. I was dealing with a heart issue (since then it’s been repaired) to check heart rate, etc. I still use my watch primarily for health tracking and spot checks. I like digging down into my sleep data. Going back to work will definitely help my sleep.
