Switched to a smaller slow cooker a couple of years ago since it’s just 2 of us. If we do end up moving to California, that will likely increase to cooking for 7 or 8. Right in my wheelhouse.

Is this the twilight of the smartphone?

Fascinating discussion. I use my iphone for 80% + of what I do online. My wife uses her Mac more mostly due to her vision. I ’m old and don’t see a smart phone going away in my lifetime, maybe it just gets smarter.

Put so many miles on one of these. Still like it.

I’ve had both this yard stick and kilometer stick for a very long time.

Now that I finished the photos. She also left this tin box of slides.

Wow, just found out our association dues are going DOWN 21%. It’s a mid-year adjustment. Condo insurance went down form the pre-fiscal estimates that were based on the post-Lahaina fire increase.

Pau scanning 329 photos left by my Great Auntie who was frequently in Hawaii from 1939-43. Mostly on Hawaii Island. I scanned to PDF. It will maintain better quality for the long term. The originals are likely to go to my daughter. Her other half manages at the Bishop Estate archive.

Kamehameha Ave Hilo 5-5-41

Kalapana (Kaimu) Black sand beach and the Queen’s Bath. 1941

Before entering the Kama’aina discount info, parking at the Hilton Waikoloa was $48/day. WTF. It would be cheaper to park at the shopping center and catch an Uber.

The fact that I have to go out and protest just pisses me off. Government has just worked my whole life. I’ve testified (written & in-person) on issues at local council and the state level and congress. From zoning to coast access to brew pubs to healthcare. Won some, lost some, but it’s worked

Hawaii’s summer weather is finally taking hold. It happens when the low pressure systems that form off of S. American and Southern Mexico start going west across the Pacific rather than NW up the Mexico coast. This will allow stready trade winds to back fill.

All along Alii Drive in Kona there are 50+ yo houses on $1mil lots. Don’t sell locals

I recently started focusing on maternal sides of my direct line ancestral research rather than focusing primarily on the name side. Opened up entire new geographic connections. Abruzzo and Campania Italy and N. Yorkshire and Devon UK. Largest Number of connections in N. America are in Virgina.

I upgrade my iPad, but seems it designed to really benefit a keyboard, which I don’t have and not planning on buying.

Opened these 2 classics to lubricate the bearings.
