When they build the puka in the Pali. Hilo Hattie with Andy Cummings


I’ve been in Food and Beverage management for most of the past 50 years. Always believed you’re either built for it or not. You can’t learn it in school. Even if you’ve run another type of business successfully, restaurants are different. Seen so many people fail, cuz they are the wrong type.


I inherited some Costco stuffed peppers my grandson didn’t want and turned it into a sloppy Joe. An old school lunch favorite


Since the new iPadOS is optimized for keyboard, I don’t really want to buy and apple keyboard, so this rig works.


As long as Phil Liggett calls Tour De France races, I’ll watch.

Random old photo. Mahalahoa road in Kohala. Looking south down the Kohala and Kona Coast. 1943.


The owner of this restaurant in Auckland was a guest at the hotel. We talked for quite a while. Similar backgrounds and so much in common. It was fun

Did bloodwork today. Results are zero flags. Like a perfect report card.


Peter Moon started his own record label, Kanikapila Records. They released 19 albums & 1 EP between 1984-93. There were some released on higher quality. None of them are on streaming services. I have all but 3 in my collection. Very hard to find.



Woot, 2 issues that I reported were addressed in the latest IOS build. I realize there had to be a lot more reports, but hey.


I can comfortably say Iʻll never go to any of the red states. Thereʻs a chance I may go over some, or through them in a train.


I went to culinary school in the 70s and climbed the ladder quickly before moving to the FOH. Something gratifying happened at Outrigger in the kitchen before my injury. I would often see young cooks watching me. When I asked why, they said they just loved to watch me work. Old school style


I remember when I was 12 yo, my friends Chuck Jackson and I would ride the city bus on “circle island tour”. It was a treat seeing the middle of the island and the N Shore. Our parents rarely took us past Tripler hospital or past Kahalu’u on the other side. It was these old green buses.

Remembering Everpix. Lifetime photo storage. Must have been based on someone elseʻs lifetime.


Vine was a fun app.

I don’t like the way the IOS files app forces preview to view a file. Often I have a folder of images and just want to scroll through them to see what they are before opening them


Kona doesn’t disappoint
