Report from South Kona

After a missing cable stopped us and a few set back like the missing disk drive , a place in town just gave us the cable we needed . The problem of getting the power supply hooked up to the mother board , it was very hard to push in , solved it self just after I emailed the support desk . One of those Murphy law things in reverse So after a little adjustment of a cord Kyle’s Computer started up and worked , big old fans going and blue neon lights inside. He has done it and built himself his gaming computer. He has his , oh god windows , loaded and is playing a game . We just need a couple of things done so he can go online tomorrow and really go wild with his games. He worked everyday this whole summer and has to go to school , shhh we are not supposed to mention it till the night before , on Thursday so he is going to stay home and game all day. My arm is good enough to shift now , but I’ll miss having him with me it has been a fun summer of pools and lunches at L & L BBQ , Kyles favorite spot for spam musubi , and they have a good Koren Chicken there . Test swims at the pools and his various cat friends around the route. It was a pretty good summer break even though the camping and kite flying marathon had tp be postponed.

The mornings have been very hot and sunny a little humid with afternoons of clouds and some evening rain. The vog has let up some but I haven’t really looked at the volcano report in a couple of weeks. Some light rain most every night keeping the tank near the top we did make it with having some delivered. They have raised the price way up of a load of water way up to like 280 a load . The garden has come back some what , did just a small amount of work on it . The basils have all come back very well with all the rain. Strawberry’s mostly made it and a out of control tomato plant has taken over the lower part . The carrots still going and some pepper plants and lemon basil. The birds are getting the small green tomato’s since there hasn’t been many . The rest of the yard is a total mess.

Kyle did he built himself a big old 4 gig computer and it works, a little over budget , very very cool and sleek. Now he will be a gaming manic and the black sheep in this house of Macs . lol .
