Howzit everybody, Another cool Manoa morning … birds singing, puppies barking, and a steaming mug of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee! Ahhh … heaven! Got another busy day ahead … couple of meetings in the morning and then I’m off to battle the golf gods with my Thursday group of degenerates. Also wanted to share a couple …
‘Morning, all … Things are finally drying out up here in the valley now that the sun and tradewinds have returned. The beauty about all the rain we had last week is that everything is lush and green … even Diamond Head looks like it’s covered with a carpet of green! Lucky we live Hawai’i, …
Aloha, everyone! The winds are calm and the skies are clear … finally! It started raining again yesterday and I thought we were in for another wet week … but lo and behold, today is turning out to be gorgeous! And for the first time in over a week, I can hear the birds singing …
(Sunday)                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Good morning, It’s 5:30am and still dark outside. The wind is going nuts outside … haven’t had these kinds of gusts in a long time and sure hope they don’t knock down any more of my palms. The rain seems to have finally subsided although we did get an occasional sprinkle last night …
Aloha, friends … Today is the anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake & Tsunami (it’s already March 11th in Japan). I can’t believe a year has already passed since that terrible disaster hit the northeast coast of Japan … the memories of what I saw and experienced during the 2011 aftermath are still quite …
Happy Aloha Friday, everyone! This has been one super wet & windy week … and apparently it ain’t over yet! Another storm front is expected to hit us today or tomorrow so better keep your umbrellas ready, folks! I had planned to unload some stuff from my car this morning since it looked like the …
Wow … first the rain, now the wind! The gusts were so strong that they knocked over the old basketball pole in our backyard which was anchored in the ground with cement! Sure hope our old avocado tree doesn’t blow over too … that would definitely suck since it’s right next to our house! I …
‘Morning, everyone … Looks like the rain’s finally stopped and there’s actually some blue sky this morning! The air outside is very cool and crisp and I can see the gentle Manoa mists coming down the valley … what a beautiful way to start the day! I can’t believe how much rain we’ve had in …
Aloha, friends! … and the rain continues to come down! It’s been pretty much non-stop since Sunday and the ground is now so saturated that the water is just collecting in our yard … perfect football conditions! When I was a little kid, my buddies and I used to love to play football in the …
Whoa, did we get soaked last night! It rained so hard that it was one continuous, massive roar … almost like a freight train coming down the valley! There must have been flooding too because I can see debris in our yard which only happens during big storms. I sure hope the rest of the …
