Credit where credit is due. Big Island Motors Kona, the local Subaru and Hyundai dealer has turned their service dept. around. They are friendly and keep promises. I’ve had good experiences there with our 2 cars for at least the past year.
The other day when we were at the Makapu’u lookout, I was recalling paddling around this coastline and learning how to hug the cliffs, so close you could almost reach out and touch.
I think the only place I send money to that I really have a trade deficit is the US Government as the cancel programs. I get value back on pretty much everything else.
My wife was sharing with me about a completely botched presentation she had to sit though on Monday. I used to do a lot of business presentations. This book changed the game for me. I followed this style and got even more requests to take the lead on presentations.
Looking through this Kaka`ako masterplan from 2008. Seems off track. Very few affordable housing options in the district. Walkable Auahi St. promenade ???. The Mauka / Makai view planes don’t seem to line up. We’ll see, not likely my lifetime. Kaka’ako was central part of life in Honolulu
I’ve had Netflix continuously since about 2000. We’re going to cancel it for a few months. It’s cost has creeped above its value.
Just looking over the monthly bills spreadsheet that my wife manages. Netflix is our most expensive streaming service, not sure it’s holding its value. We pay more for the Apple bundle and Disney, Hulu, ESPN. But use iCloud and Music and all 3 of the Disney bundle.
We went to Kaka’ako Waterfront park Sunday before we flew out. I looked mauka and saw 4 construction cranes. There will be more when Ward Center is demolished. You won’t be able to see the mountain when those are all built and people mauka won’t see the ocean. A wall of buildings.
We’ve been to three protests. I’m not inclined to do anymore until I see democrats in congress do something more than some symbolic BS.
Also noticed on O’ahu, food trucks everywhere and a number of food trucks events. Sometimes we just wanted to sit down and eat, and not on a dirty picnic table.
They typically need a support kitchen to do their prep. Home kitchens not allowed.
Hawaii State parks used to be the cleanest and best maintained, county parks were notch below. That has flipped. State parks have fallen off and things stay broken for months. County park are looking better. Saw the same thing on O`ahu
They must be in some kind of transition. The entire check in process at HNL, Hawaiian and TSA, was kind of a mess. It wasn’t even that busy.
