Report from South Kona

Traveling home thru the Volcano National park this weekend all of Mauna Loa was visible . Below from the Nat. Park website .

Rising gradually to more than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on our planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa’s great mass another 8 km. This makes the volcano’s summit about 17 km (56,000 ft) above its base! The enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawai`i and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined.

Mauna Loa is among Earth’s most active volcanoes, having erupted 33 times since its first well-documented historical eruption in 1843. Its most recent eruption was in 1984. Mauna Loa is certain to erupt again .

Just a bit lazy , doing some catch up on a few things . Getting the boys settled down at night ( oh wait here is Kyle ” I finally get home , I have to go to sleep wake up go to school go to bed again, ” ) they want to push it later and later then are all crashed out getting ready for school . 6am that is the time, 630 is when and 5 minutes before the bus slap on some clothes . So now back again with some more crap to post . lol

My new vaporiser just came today for herbal aromatherapy . It,s the new Iinhale that I ordered from England , made in Ireland . Small and hand held it can travel and looks like a small walki talki lol . They take your favorite herb and heat it to just before combustion , making a vapor instead of smoke . No smell and one of the first high ( no pun intended ) quality . Almost stoped on the way home and got some of the butane that they run on but didn’t thinking it wouldn’t get here this quick . lol Test run tomorrow . .

Slid along on some very fun waves this afternoon . The swell now a little more managable , with still a bit of crunch on the bigger sets . Wind making it a bit bumpy and after all the waves , just a hand full of people out in the water . Cold on the first dip in the channel out from the shore , changing as after a bit the first wave rolls over and completes the emersion . Brisk with a bit of chill the wind now has the air cooler so staying low in the water now is the warmer way to be . The water warming once past the fresh water springs up by the shore line that chill the water there . Nice on a blistering hot tropical day , a bit chill on a cool afternoon . Caught several nice double up waves over the reef having a greaty time speeding along .

More fun in the future , —————–>>>
