My wife’s work is migrating from Webex to MS Teams. It’s not going well. It’s somehow messing up their Outlook email among other issues.

Watching Fargo season 1 with Billy Bob Thornton, for no specific reason other than it’s great TV


Streaming services don’t offer deals to reward loyalty. Their deals always focus on bringing viewers back. This disincentives loyalty


My Great Grandparents. Otto and Fannie Kimbley. They lived in the same house in the Paducah Ward, McCracken, Kentucky since they got married on Christmas Eve in 1906. Photo is at their 60th wedding anniversary. Fannie passed in 1971 and Otto in 1973


That went well


I think ManCity is the radical right of football. They think the rules don’t apply to them. When they are charged they say it’s all lies and they are being persecuted and everyone is out to get them. They will say those rules don’t apply to them.

Guardiola’s fight to maintain City empire will be fascinating


Hawaiian Ranch style home

I’ve spoken about to Hawaiian Ranch. A tried and true style for this tropical climate. Too many people bring an architectural style that doesn’t fit or isn’t functional and also requires central air because it does nothing to account for the tropical sun and heat. They also don’t aesthetically fit.

A Hawaiian ranch-style home combines elements of traditional ranch architecture with the relaxed, open feel of island living. Key features include:

Single-story design: Typically low, horizontal profile for easy living. Open floor plans: Spacious interiors with minimal walls, encouraging a seamless flow between living spaces. Wide lanais: Covered outdoor patios or verandas that extend living spaces outside, ideal for enjoying the tropical climate. Natural materials: Use of wood, stone, and bamboo to reflect the surrounding environment. Large windows and sliding doors: Designed for natural light, ventilation, and to offer expansive views. Integration with nature: Landscaping often includes native plants, and interiors may open directly to gardens or ocean views. This architectural style emphasizes casual elegance and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting Hawaii’s laid-back lifestyle and natural beauty.


Going back to the Apple Classical music app more and more. The playlists are amazing, and no thought process needed. The music by mood is my ❤️


Car safely ensconced at the dealer. Coffee secured at the (almost) on the ocean coffee shop with a cinnamon twist accompaniment. Chill for a spell, then walk home. About 1.5 miles.


Enjoying this album. The titles of the track match point in the show. “The police are here”

Monochrome Monday. Didn’t know it was a think until I started following some photographers


Back to work in 14 days after a loooong 7 months off. 2 months post injury / pre surgery, 5 months recovery. Walking every day until then to build up steps and stamina. I’ll put on 12k steps a night in the kitchen at work.


When i got up this morning, i was informed all of the Christmas decorations and the tree need to come out of their various storage place. I knew it was coming. We do an artificial tree. Fresh trees last about a week in Kona


Today I’m glad we bought the extended warranty when we bought our Hyundai Elantra in 2016. The suspension is shot. Nothing we’ve done. No off road, it was my wife’s car until we got her a Subaru CrossTrek this summer, she works at home.

It’s all getting replaced for $100.
