Looks like I’ve torn my bicep through overuse in my 4 week progressive back to work. Looking my kitchen days are ending. Likely transferring to guest service. Front desk or PBX operator. Meeting Tuesday.
High surf warning. Choke cars parked on Alii drive. Lots of gawkers. Beach parks are closed. Gaggle of surfers out at Banyans and Lyman’s.
We live adjacent to one of the two pools in our community. Convenient for us. Sometimes loud. The hot tub is just beyond that croton hedge. There is a constant flow of older people going to the hot tub for extended periods and gossiping away. To me the hot tub is a Petri dish. No way I go in there.
Says 65 in Kona, but the weather gauges are in Holualoa at about 1400 feet. It’s 73 down here at sea level.

This little mo’o was enjoying the last night of our Christmas lights and the bugs it was bringing him.

As if there’s not enough depressing news, I’m rewatching Chernobyl on HBO. Russia seemed like a very depressing place
Going south from Waikoloa on Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway. Top is a clear day, bottom is today with VOG.

The live feed of the volcanos is thankfully boring. Just hot lava on the ground. Need some trade winds now.
My favorite Honolulu places from the 80s. Ryan’s Parkplace at Ward Center for lunch, the Black Orchid for upscale cocktails, Studebakers for party time and Bobby McGee’s Conglomeration for restaurant industry night (Sundays). I worked at TGI Fridays so that doesn’t count

I have these 2 awesome Japanese Blue steel knives. I used them when I managed a Japanese restaurant. Due to staff shortages I was working the kitchen daily. I don’t use them now due to high carbon in the steel, they’re not good with acidic food, which I cut a lot of now. They’re just home knives.

A quirk in the AppleTv Paramount+ app. Closed captions won’t turn off until the app is exited after turning them off on the menu. It’s been this was since I’ve been using it years ago long time ago. Was hoping updates would correct it.

I’d like to find a secluded AirBnB somewhere for a week. I’d take everything I need and just hibernate.
IMHO many kickstarter projects go awry when they decide to add feature requests after funding that drive up their costs and long delay delivery. Have seen this over and over
