I think I am back.

Aloha;  Thanks to my oldest daughter I got my user name and password so now I will be able to vent about the distruction of the rule of law and the lost moral and ethical base of the United States of America.  We shall see what we will see. 

It's Sunday again.

Aloha: Another Sunday has come and is about to be gone. We have our mo'opuna this weekend so while my wife is giving him a shower I will try to get this done. He likes to use the computer that is being used by whoever.

Rain was just a trace for the week. The volcano is SOS. I hope to get my truck back this week. Topher is off this week so I will get to spend at least 3 days home this week. Well, that will have to do. God bless and take care. Love to all.

Happy 4th of July.

Aloha: Today we celebrate the "birthday" of our country. Too bad we were unable to do as Ben Franklin suggested. I have been trying to watch Glen Beck every day. On Friday's his program is called "Founder's Friday". He sources everything back to the original through the Library of Congress. This idea of changing history is really a very old idea. Would you believe I finished high school in 1962? The American History textbook we used then was published in 1942, before I was born. I have been made aware that even then, the textbooks were "slanted" so as to convey a "political" message. Even in the 60's we were taught politically correct half-truths, from books that were 20 years old. That means that even our teachers were taught these half-truths. That is why Beck and others are going back to the "source"; old books in the Library of Congress. I know most, if not all, of my readers don't care so will go no further.

We had 0.4 inches of rain this past week up here in God's country. The volcano is doing its thing so all is SOS. Sometimes I think the HVO staff just changes the date every morning. My wife and eldest daughter are having a very long weekend. Furlough Friday and a holiday on Monday make for a four day weekend. The county is on furlough Friday on the first and third Friday's of every month.

May God bless you all and keep all of you safe. Love to all.

Aloha: The other week I went on craigslist. I want to buy "junk silver" (pre-64 dimes, quarters, halves and dollars) for their melt value and got 3 weird replies. I am willing to pay 10x face for the coins. There is a guy who puts full page ads in the local paper and sets up shop in the Naniloa Hotel and pays 5x face for the coins. Too bad the shipping from the mainland is so high; makes the cost of the coins higher to get them to Hilo.

Right now I am sitting my mo'opuna and he wants to sit where I am sitting. When I am on the computer he wants to be on the computer; when I play with his Lego's he wants to play; when I watch TV he wants to watch TV. Too bad my friend, Author Itis, keeps bugging me so I can not chase him or turn my legs so I am limited as to what I can do outside. I go to see my bone doctor later this month, hopefully he will be able to give me a magic bullet and fix my knees and right hip so I can run and play. I would settle for just being able to walk for more than a few hundred feet.

I got a call from the issurance company and my truck will not be ready for about 2 more weeks. More damage was found when they started repairs, so had to order more parts. Oh well, they are paying for the Charger.

The volcano is SOS. We did have a nice 3.6 earhtquake the other day that some people felt, but not me. That's it for today. Love to all and may God bless.

SOS Sunday

Aloha: We had 0.35 inches of rain this past week and the volcano is doing it's thing, so all is SOS. My wife's brother, "Small Fry", is here till July 5th then he is off to the mainland to do his "bomb" thing. If you just happened on this blog and don't know, he works for a ordinance disposal company and goes all over the place looking for unexploded bombs so the military can blow them up. He has been as far east as Cuba, west to Japan, north to Alaska, but not below the equator yet.

Thing here on the home front are, like out volcano, SOS. Our truck is still not fixed so we are still "tooling" around in the red Dodge Charger. We live off road so have to be careful not to scrape bottom when we come and go. I think we will have to wash it before we turn it in.

God bless and take care. Love to all.
