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 .

Christmas Eve Trains , Christmas Day Fun

We had a good day , the boys slept in till about 9a , when they were younger it was , you know the crack of dawn . lol Holidays are kept together so the kids do not get shipped back and forth as myself and many of us had to do as kids . So there are personality’s that requires to be kept calm or at least one . The boys had a fun day , Chris getting some cool things that I found for him . A t shirt that shows wi fi signals , it lights up to show when a wireless signal is there . Some thing that may have been a mistake , anoiatron a little device that has a small magnet and you can set ti to beep on buzz every few minutes , made to hide in a desk or somewhere hard to find . It’s about the size of a credit card , I wish that I had one when working in a office lol . Plus a few other cool things . Kyle got his new desk chair , a mini flying rc helicopter that crashed right away lol . Plus various items . Not too much , Since reading that the more you get the less happy you are , I think it’s true , the most fun was playing cards and making dinner .

The roast came out , the first one I had ever made , just simple rock salt and pepper then roasting in my giant cast iron pan. Wanted it about med rare , but ended up with medium . The bread pudding worked I used a recipe that the link was sent by one of the friends , just used one less egg and extra raisins , no nuts at least in the pudding . Steamed green beans and just rolls that come in the tube and you bake . I made everything but the salad that the boys aunt’s friend Natahalie made and the pie . Latte’s were going all day , the one thing that I bought myself a little stainless steel espresso cup and saucer , was fun , small just a little shot . Karen the boys aunt and my friend for a little over 30 years got to use it most of the day as a treat . She is the ex,s twin sister so inter family things are a little complicated sometimes . lol But she along with Natahalie her partner help keep things calm .

Lightning and Thunder came in around sunset , putting on a display over the ocean as we had dinner , rain falling later in the night and into this morning . Just enough reason to flake off and stay home today . I’ll just have to make a speed power tomorrow to catch up . Next week will have the same problem with the holiday on a Thursday .

Peace and Love Steve
