Hello out there!!!! Tomorrow I have to take my wife's "tank" (Ford Expedition) to Ka'u Auto Repair to have some work done on it. I think I made mention of the fact that K.A.R. knows more about Fords than the dealer does. My wife bought the "Tank" in a display of defiance on 9/11/01.

It looks like things are picking up at our volcano. Tremor is up, tephra production is up, a webcam above the vent recorded glow last night. It looks like the lava lake under the floor of the crater is rising. We shall see what we shall see.

Last night I was thinking that maybe I should do this in the evening before I go to bed rather than in the morning. What do you think?

Tomorrow is CJ's 3rd birthday. We will be having a family gathering (both sides) at the beach on Saturday. Just going to throw stuff on the hibachi. If it rains than we will be in the garage here. It really will not be anything special.

My daughter has not been assigned her internship yet. Because of the economy most of the places that would hire IT people have put a hold on new hires.

Take care and may God bless.
