Hawaii Boy

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social I’m too old to shift to that easily. If can can

@davidmarsden thank you. I was an athlete when I was young, I learned to to my Therapy so I could get back in the game. The human body will recover if you give a chance.

@davidmarsden I was meticulous about physical therapy. Didn’t miss work, lots of stationary bike work. 4 months or so. I was nervous on it for a while and still don’t run or jump.

@fahrni yep. Feels more likely now.

@annahavron my wife is from North Dakota and never heard of it. Knew it was a south thing

@rpmik it’s been Glorious when we visited

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social So true. Age discrimination bites when you need to money. Lucky I have an in demand skillset as a food and beverage manager.

@kancin.bsky.social we are in good place financially. I’m a numbers nerd. I’ve worked out a few scenarios, in every one, we’ll be fine. Stay in Hawaii, leave Hawaii, etc. Our HELOC loan payment is low. No other debt. Liquid savings is growing.

@kancin.bsky.social depends on employer. I’m 66, I could go now. My wife is a little younger and can still work. I’ll work till she retires and/or. SS full retirement age. We may also move and may continue to work during that process. I’m in a low impact job

@kancin.bsky.social I’ll get used to it, I’m helping the hotel fill a long empty hole. Next for me is retirement 18-24 mos.

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social I still miss Shirokiya.

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social It’s the Commanders. My brain still says Redskins.

@jerome have you been getting enough rain?

@pnwgeographies.bsky.social Hamakua really needs it. The storm is on that side, so hopefully

@bitdepth gold hear.

@eurobubba I know one thing. Behaving is exhausting. You can see that in kids. These republicans have been smothered and jonesing to break out.

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social I’m lucky enough to have seen her do it live quite a few times and have gotten to know here. Quite the wahine and Hilo girl. Ku`ilei is nice too

@eurobubba truth. And Foundation

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social We’re planning to retire to Sonoma. Couple of years away.

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social Nice. I spent a few summers there as kid. Aunt Daisy and uncle Manuel. Great memories.

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social What part of N. California are you?

@hawaiiboy.bsky.social That’s different animal. I lived in Hilo for years. The pier in Hilo is not close to anything so they bus to attractions. The pier in Kona is right in town so more of them walk.

@joecgiles.bsky.social Kona is not “too bad”. I drive through that part of Kona on ship day often. The biggest issue is lots pedestrians that left their common sense at home, otherwise they’re pretty harmless.

@keauhou.bsky.social good point, but feeling Trump and Putin will do worse

@punalady.bsky.social Marriott is complicit. May need to break out the big speakers
