This is 2 heat maps of where my direct line ancestors were born. In Europe it’s N. Yorkshire and Devon UK and Abruzzo and Campania Italy through many other places. In N. America, predominantly Virginia through a lot of other eastern states. I was born in CA and we moved to Hawaii at a young age.
$1000 on car repairs and service this week is a hard nut, but my Dad told me when I got my first car in the 70s, expect or spend $100/mo on car service and repair. He said if you skip a few months that $100 adds up. So 2 cars, 6 months. I guess it’s fair.
My wife wants to get a small refrigerator for make-up and meds. Room temperature Kona is in the mid 80s. The challenge is small thermoelectric chilled coolers don’t do well in higher room temp and compressor cooled aren’t that small.
Dukes is coming the Outrigger Kona. It’s now just a gutted out shell. It will be beautiful. Next April
We’ve had the AppleOne bundle since it came out. We’re gonna break it up so we cancel Apple+ when there are gaps. Don’t use fitness and News is limited use.
I’m not going to jump to ESPN’s new service or FOX One right away. Not an NFL or NBA fan. May opt for Fox when specific Soccer is on.
I think the protesters of Geothermal are a little dramatic. The don’t protest VOG which is worse.

Just got this email from PBS Hawaii. The Trump regime and MAGA is evil. We’ll donate whatever we can afford
Reoccurring theme. Our other car is in for its 75k mile check up. Chilling with coffee on my walk home from the dealer. Nice ocean breeze today.
Got to talk with Mark for while. He’s on the property for the duration of Temptation Island production.
Had a guest in with his family with a Trump hat. I wanted to punch him in the nose. He was polite and respectful so I was reciprocal. Best I could offer
I’m home my love, I’m home there’s Diamond Head
High tide or low tide
Watching one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, because a Johnny Depp pirate is what is needed today.
Hawaii County owns a number of parcels on Alii Drive, I know they are working on a plan, just don’t think it’s happen in my lifetime.
I watch mostly east coast and mid-west MLB teams. They are rarely blacked out. There are some awesome announcers on these team broadcasts. All west coast games are blacked out in Hawaii.
