Good morning!!!!

What about a jacuzzi tub in your bathroom. Is this for social or therapeutic purposes?

therapeutic only, bathroom is tiny, would not fit larger anything.

plumber left, I figured an hour of work and it was.
had 200 in cash ready for him. 295, one hour's work, he lives 1/2 mile away on same road.
definitely underestimated local pricing.

David, I've been researching how to get to Hawaii by boat and which cruise line does it.
One way or the other I'm going to get to California, likely by train, and then just a little further right?...
luckily I don't care, more time on a boat the better for me.

Found one that comes into Hilo. That's the right island right? I also have to visit Oahu, not that I really want to, already went
there once years ago, but because a relative lives there and I have to see her. My second wife lives on Maui and I definitely don't have to see her.
Though I am curious. And I surely know what curiosity did to the cat.

cruise lines usually go to two ports. Going to take some research. Since Honolulu is most famous i would think
Oahu is common destination.
Regularly reading articles about preserving indigenous Hawaiian culture.
and how tourists like me are wrecking the place

we found Paradise, and it's full.

58°F and foggy this morning, going up to 84° today. Forecast calling for chance of rain much of next week. We sure could use some at our place.

Actually doing some Quality Jerk stuff in the office today . Now I'm flooded with documentation stuff that hasn't been getting done while I've been out babysitting production folks for the last three weeks. So it goes.

Roy, I've had some conversation back and forth with the President of that company, but it's always been initiated from my end. He told me he was going to schedule a team interview each of the last two weeks, but hasn't. I'm taking that as not necessarily interested, and moving on elsewhere. I have an interview scheduled at another place next week. This one contacted me out of the blue. The hunt continues.

Still not caught up here yet either. Hope everyone is well.

Good morning, gents.

Found one that comes into Hilo.

The pipe organ company I used to work for built an instrument in 1962 for the Higashi Hongwanji Mission in Hilo. As the only Buddhist to ever work for that company, I spent a fair amount of time trying to convince the President to send me there for a "wellness check" on the organ. Didn't work, but I kept trying nonetheless .

RNG, yup, that gearbox bracket became severely distorted over time, aggravated by deforming the mower base of attachment as well. I’m sure that my gingerly use had nothing to do with it. Pulleys became badly out of alignment. A flat spot had worn at the point of the tension adjustment bolt. I was lucky to get thru a mowing session with a set of belts - getting expensive. As it worked out cost of the new bracket wasn’t much more than set of belts. Switching to the banded, cog belt is my idea, hoping for better utility. I also rotated the shaft 90° to avoid the flat spot and replaced the adjustment nut and bolt. Given that I’ve pretty much cut all the heavy bush and trees, I’m expecting an easier life for the mower.

Now I see flails with an adjustable rear door and wonder…

Good job. Nice video, sounds too. What camera?

Drew, interesting hot tub. Could make installation easier. Like mentioned, the moisture potential. Any way to mitigate a potential leak? Basement have a sump?

Haven’t kept up, but yes, we get cruise ships, getting more regular lately. Usually land early morning, depart early evening. Go right past our house unless going south. When you do come you must let us know and we will pick you up at terminal.

Love that Japanese park, nicely done and popular.

77F and partly cloudy @ 13:00, heading up to a high of around 80F for the day.

Two more nice days in the 80's after today before the possibility of more rain moves in. Possibility of a 90F high by next Sunday, otherwise highs in the 80's.

Tracking reports that deer netting is 2 stops away.

Not sure what all will be on the agenda for today, but will probably at least finish getting that planting hole cleaned out and refilled with good dirt. Before I started on it yesterday:

​

Have an evergreen that needs removed over by the garage/wellhead, might take a stab at digging it up and seeing if it's worth relocating/transplanting.

Woman has announced that She "needs" to go to the grocery store and is making moves towards doing that. Comments that there is probably squash that needs harvested (ya think ? ... )

Deer netting delivered. Seems kinda lightweight, but if it works I won't complain ...

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Tuesday ...
