Aloha: I have had to lower the levels in my volcano report to the "new and improved" SOS. Everything is running at a lower level so that will be the new SOS. The only interesting event has been a 3.3 earthquake on Mauna Loa.
We went for dinner for my eldest's birthday last night. The restaurant in Pahoa, for reasons unknown to us, does not sell spirits. Both of my daughters and their significant others were really bummed out. This restaurant is supposed to have the best "Margaritas" on this side of the island. It may be too early to tell but I could not eat all of my food and I do not seem to be eating as much today so maybe the "spell" I went under yesterday is working. I hope so. I do need to lose 50/60 pounds.
The weather today is a mixed bag. It was wet this morning then about 10a the sun came out. 15 minutes later it was wet again. Now it is sunny, but cloudy. Don't like the weather, stick around, it will change.
That's it for today. God bless and do be good to each other.

Less than SOS (part 2)
Aloha: The volcano report is less than SOS again. No glow, SO2 at the lowest level since this event started, tephra just rock dust; it looks like this event just might be fading away, or not.
Weather is cloudy, with mizzle. (Mizzle - between mist and drizzle.) Dogs are still too pooped to do much, not even eat. The older we get the longer it takes to recover.
Tomorrow I go to try to get some will power to lose weight. I hope it works. It looks like I will have to get a new phone as the screen on my phone has gone out. I will have to get a new fan for my dry room. I have a room in the house with a dehumidifier and a fan to move the air. The fan no longer works, so I need to get a new one. Looks like I will have a real "fun" day tomorrow.
God bless and be good to each other.
PS: I just did a spell check and am told that the work "dehumidifier" is misspelled. But that is the spelling that the spell checker inserted. Strange, the spell checker does not like its own spelling.

Less than SOS?
Aloha: Can something be less than SOS? If so, than the volcano report is less than SOS. I was going to copy the report and paste it here, but when I was doing that some readers complained that it was "boring". I guess the collapse about a week ago did more then I thought.
When the wife got home from camping yesterday she brought me a bag of fish to clean. I tried to give it away to her brother and/or my daughters, but no takers. I guess I will have to clean them this afternoon. Can not let them go to waste! The truck came back a different color then it was when it went to South Point. It was dry and windy at SP so the truck came back a red, dust color. The girls had fun drawing pictures on the windows and sides. My wife took the big dogs and those old guys are still sleeping. Once they get home they curl up and sleep for a day or two. I think they were born in 1997 and are showing their age.
The weather today is great. There is no better place to live then Volcano.
I wonder if the PO found my package? I think I told about the PO lost it. They were going to call everyone who picked up a package last week to see if anybody got it. I was not expecting anything so maybe the mistake was in giving me the notice, and that there is no package for me. We shall see.
May God bless you all and may God bless America!

Day late and a dollar short.
Aloha: Happy 4th of July, a day late. I was surprised to see I had not posted anything since the 1st. The wife and my oldest, her other half. Burida. and a bunch of others went to South Point for a camping and fishing trip. Anakam, Topher, CJ and I went to Manuels house to watch the fireworks. Kohala sister and her husband were there, but did not stay for the fireworks as they do not like to drive after dark. Topher deserves a special "thank you" for doing all the BBQing, with help from Anakam. I do appreciate his work. And as always too much food.
I do not know what is happening with our volcano. Things are slowing down. Is it the calm before the storm, or the end? Or is Pele just resting for the long run? The hole in the crater in the caldera just keeps getting larger.
The weather has been back and forth, rain and sun, but overall rather pleasant.
Manuel has done quite a bit of work on his house. He had a porch on the windward side of his house that is now enclosed with sliding windows. The porch was built on that side to take advantage of the great, great view, which we took advantage of last night.
Time for my Woody Woodpecker thing, "That's all folks". God bless and take care.

Rumble, rumble.
Aloha: The volcano report is NOT SOS!!! This is from the HVO website (in red).
Past 24 hours at Kilauea summit: At 1:38 PM (Hawaiian Standard Time) Tuesday afternoon, a large collapse within the summit vent occurred, resulting in a loud booming sound heard across the caldera area, shaking that could be felt at the Jaggar Museum, generation of a dark brown plume, ejection of ash and lapilli, a very-long-period seismic signal, and an inflationary tilt offset. The initial collapse destabilized the vent, and for the next 3 hours numerous additional collapse signals were recorded by seismometers, some of which resulted in shaking that was again noted at the Jaggar Museum. Between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM, a portion of the floor of Halemaumau Crater collapsed, enlarging the west rim of the summit vent. Earthquakes are up, RB2S2BL quakes are 6 times higher then before the collapse. Yesterday the earthquake map had 24 quakes on it. Today there are 44. I think that the vent has filled with rubble so there was no glow last night from either of the webcams.
The weather today is great. I got a notice from the PO to pick up a package, went to the PO and they could not find the package. They now have to call all the people who got packages this week to see if any of them got it.
I got a letter from Sears this week. (Very interesting week) It seems that they found a check made out to me for $56. The check is "stale dated" and asked if I wanted them to reissue the check. They had no idea what the check was for, but I do. Several years ago I bought a refrigerator from Sears that had free delivery. I had to prepay the delivery and was to be reimbursed. I never got my money. Somebody just put the check in a drawer and forgot about it. I called and my daughter called till I just got so mad I put their charge card in the shredder. I just mailed Sears back and told them to "send me the money!".
I guess that will do it for today. God bless and take care.
