Report from South Kona

So the weekend flowed by , Saturday spent down in town working some in the morning . Started the day right at Kahaluu , many people were out in the water . The water was smooth some waves now and again . many of them going by with out a rider . After running around a bit I hit it sown in the after noon . At first like Thursday and Friday , when by the time I got down to the water it was very windy . A strong on shore breeze blowing . I really should have went out those two days too . With the long work days and limited time before darkness fell , I punked out and didn’t hit the water . Anyway Saturday I,m glad that I went out , at first there was still a crowd in the water . Though once out many of the waves came to me . I was doing my usual lurking just inside the reef, catching the ones that roll up a bit and re form . The sun was bright and hot , water warm waves not giant but fun several rides through out the afternoon .

Fired up the BBQ again for some chicken , done is a kind of Jamaican Hawaiian style . A cross between Huli Huli and Jerk lol . They had some great green beans too , those went in a pan with olive oil and garlic , plus just a small bit of butter . With the rice cooker ready we had a nice little dinner with the green beans and Chicken .

After a few lattes Chris and I went for a mario cart session on the Wii and raced many of the courses . Battling the talented Japanese racers , who play a mean race . Then we got drawn into many episodes of Doctor Who . One of My favorites , Chris and Kyle too . Next thing its midnight and time for that late night spliff before retiring for the night .

Today Sunday , we continued on the clean up of the boys clothes . Getting rid of anything not used . Hurrah ! Fired up the BBQ again for some roasting of chillis for a new batch of Salsa , I have been in the habit of making some each weekend lately . Its the roasted Onion and chilis that make it . So tonight I,m stir frying the last chicken with some Bok Choi , the small baby ones , along with some carrots for color .

Started a projest that i have been wanting to do for a while . Converting all the old Analog movies to digital. There are many old tapes from the boys early years and it’s time consuming but I’m all set and just need a couple of new mini dv tapes . The hard part is going to be converting the large files to smaller format . The first couple I did are huge files . Yikes !

So peace and Love Mr Jones

I did a lot today and by the time I could surf the wind had picked up and blown out the surf , that had dropped a bit anyway . The on shore wind blew the tops down causing the waves to roll up and get all sloppy . This morning when I went by there was a few waves breaking on the outside . The swell is still hitting over on the north shore of Oahu , The waves zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzz ( ok I fell asleep and now this is going out in the morning . ) So there is quite a bit if white water this morning on the coast . As I drive into town a better picture of the surf will be seen from the road. I am going to bring the Manta 46 , Black Beauty is my name for it , a big wave body board . It can be duck dived under the white water much better then the long board if the waves are a bit unruly .

Ok I am goofing off and must get going another big day today !

Peace and Love Steve

Had a nice little day , after getting up early , had a short morning nap before going off to work . This is the morning where I work up here in the Country , up Mauka , up slope , Makai toward the water . Any way , I spend the morning at this very cool 50s Hawaiian style ranch house just up from Hookens beach . Then all along Painted Church Road and up to Rock Bottom road . All over looking Kealakekua Bay and in the middle of the Kona Coffee Country. many of the coffee trees are full of red cherries right now and some picking is going on . All the coffee here is still hand picked mostly on small farms . When the roasting is going on you can enjoy that pleasing coffee burned toast smell that wanders thru the air.

I had my usual Pineapple smoothie and wheat grass shot for lunch. Made my way down to the coast about 4 p for a surf check . The waves still have gone down and after hanging out sitting on my truck didn’t paddle out cruised home . Made a stop at the Chinese BBQ , they are very good very fresh vegetables , a couple runs it they are there 7 days a week all day long . I really like the shrimp and mixed vegetables , but had the sesame chicken to night . The winter swells will be here soon to test our water skills and supply some thrilling rides.

Peace and LOve Steve

So it was a holiday so i did kind the same as yesterday and ditched out for the beach . the waves had dropped even more , many many people floating around . Ended up hanging out a while and watching all the tourist girls learn to surf . The waves were a bit to small and rolly for me to bob around out there .

Came home to a simple afternoon , having a Latte and a fine spliff out on the deck . Just flipping thru the pages of the new Wired mag. Not doing much of anything . The rain came by blowing sideways , chasing me in for a minute then the Sun came back out , then the rain came again so it went . Some filling on the good ole water tank was needed .

Peace and LOve Steve

Finally Some Fun
Spent much of the weekend getting all my invoices done and mailed . Always a little late at doing it . Though many are now on email so its a bit simpler . The weekend was a bit hum drum , but I did do a little BBQ on Saturday night . Sunday way way exciting finished my paperwork ( puke puke) and did a trash and recycle run up to the transfer station . Oh ya and got a root beer that I ended up giving away along with my key lime soda to the kids . To day the sun out and after just a bit of work i ditched out to kahaluu and did some wave ridding . The waves were just small , with a little bigger set now and again . After watching and doing a little filming the crowd all left and I had a nice 3 or so hours of surfing . The water was warm and clear showing the reef below .A few girls were out surfing in their nice little suits . I went out on Black Beauty my Body Board today . My slick was still at home and as the first time since my arm thing I could use my kick also . My arm was good and held it’s own duck diving under waves and all . I had a nice time rolling around in the surf and sliding along.
