Seeing this flooding in Hanalei reminded me of the time we had the HCRA state paddling championships in Hanalei. The road was closed due to flooding. We were all going to miss our flights. Hawaiian did the right thing and brought planes back after the road opened. We all got home (Hilo) that day.


This hotel is the Marriott Waikoloa resort I managed the F&B department there before Covid. It was a toxic environment so I didn’t go back. Was recalling when this was the Outrigger Royal Waikoloan hotel. Those were fun times, great memories


When I worked up the Kohala coast, used to stop at one of 3 SBux on my way out of Kona for a gap between home and work. Really liked that quiet time. I work so close to home now, won’t likely go back to that

This is so Anaeho’omalu bay. I could go on for hours about my history at this beach from even before I moved here.


This kid is having good luck fishing here. I think he’s catching Nehu


When we were in Honolulu last week and we drove by Restaurant Row my mind went back. I really miss Studebakers and Black Orchid. I was the opening manager at Rose City Diner. The manager from Studebakers, Dana Duden, ended up at Big Island Steakhouse in Waikoloa. We used to hang out a lot.

I made a smart playlist of all 6077 Hawaiian and island music songs in my collection. It’s fun to have song from from the past 120 years play in random order. Hear a song very steel guitar forward from 1920 followed by one from 2010 with a reggae beat.


Of course CBS profiles Weather Tech. A very MAGA owner and company.


Right now, I’d rather donate to PBS than the Democratic party.


When you can’t wait


I am blacked out for the Athletics, Giants, Angels, Padres and Dodgers. All playing at home. Oh well it Reds and Mets then.
