The parent units have left. We are doing a boatload of laundry today and cleaning the house. We have way too much food in the fridge, thanks to the parents, so I have to deal with that as I don’t know when we will return here, with our daughter due in Nov. Just when you think you know what you are doing, life pitches a curve ball.
Hot today here. Truck needs washed, so that will get done.

Morning. Did someone break the Soundhole yesterday? Could not get it to load last night. Well, it’s back now.
So tired yesterday from our red eye, arrived in the desert around noon, unpacked, took a nap and went to bed at 9:00 last night. Feel better today. It’s going to hit 99° here today so I’m going for a short bike ride (10 miles) before it gets too hot. Thinking about leaving for OR tomorrow, or maybe Sunday, to avoid the weekend room rates in Mt Shasta. $89.00 weeknights, and $130.00 weekend nights. It’s not a lot but still…. Need to clean the condo and get it ready for the hot summer months. Need to charge and disconnect the battery from the Vespa. I buy shelf stable gas for it so there are no worries there.
That’s about it from the desert.

Back home away from home in the desert. It was a smooth 5 hour flight. The trip over took 6.5 hours. The pilots blame it on winds, but I know better, on the way over they had less mice on the treadmills. Anyway, it’s hot in the desert and my truck, which has been sitting for the last two weeks is really dirty. I’ll get it washed tomorrow.

Sun is coming up on Kauai, just hitting the tops of the little mountain known locally as Puff, the Magic…beautiful, this looks like the nicest day we’ve had so far, and it’s the day we leave. Lots of rain this trip. Red eye tonight, hope I can get some sleep on the plane. Nita’s parents will pick us up tomorrow morning in San Diego, we will find someplace for breakfast, and then head back to the desert. Nita wants to head N on Weds, she is ready to be home. That’s it from Hawaii.

Morning. The sun has made an appearence on Kauai. It’s welcome. I’ll go for a swim in a bit, hit up the Dolphin fish market for a half lb of their Ono salad. Like tuna salad but so so so much better. They call it crack salad. We will start packing up this afternoon. Check out is ar ten tommorrow but our plane doesn’t leave until ten pm at night.
That is all the news from this little corner of the Pacific.

R Bob, it was a joke. Apparently not a very good one. A oblique reference to getting kicked of the AG forum for mocking their guitar cruise. Mike will try to make. His jokes better in the future.

Since we seem to be getting the band back together, maybe someone should email Teja and ask for advice about planning a guitar cruise…

OMG, Rocker Bob. Hey Keith, how’s it? We are all a lot older. Probably no wiser, but that doesn’t stop us from being opinionated.

I don’t mean to be critical, but when did Mercedes panel vans become tanks?

Raining on Kauai. Sposed to stop by noon. Went to a fabulous dinner last night with our friends from Oregon City at the Hokilau Lanai restaurant. Ono in miso mushroom reduction and lobster Mac nut cream cheese wontons. Spendy but good. Today we are eating in, cereal and salads. Tomorrow we start packing for the trip home. Red eye on Sat from Lihue to San Diego. Get in ar 7 am SD time, which will feel like 4 am to us. That will be the least fun part of this trip. Sunday will be a lost day, but we will survive, probably.

Yeah, I’ve been to his house in Shelton. It was a long time ago. He hosted a guitar gathering there, back in the old AG days. Chak Aw was there, Pauline, a bunch of people.

Is Froon still at Batdorf and Bronson? If so I could head up there this summer maybe do lunch or something. It’s about a 2.5 hour drive from my house. Would love to see him again.

After listening to that YouTube video I’m wondering if Fiddilerina is not feeling well.
