Saturday Afternoon Comedy

This entrance to the Hilton Hotel was blocked off for the past 40 days.  Hundreds of strikers blocking it, yelling, and screaming.  I know people who stayed at the hotel during the strike and they told me it was very unpleasant.  Paying $400/night for a room with no service and strikers yelling all day long.  That’s not a good way to spend a vacation here in Hawaii.  I also know people that were striking and they told me they had no choice.  I understand both sides and just thankful that it’s over.

I don’t allow electronic devices or the television on when the kids come over to play.  They only get to play with toys and their loud crazy Uncle.  Haha.  But they seem to love it.  Then when they get tired and fussy, or it’s time to change their diaper, I simply send them home.  Haha.

My brothers and I all played little league baseball.  The Moniz kids all played too.  Now it’s the next generation of the family playing.  It’s pretty funny because our family is big so we have the biggest cheering section.  Here is coach Micah pitching to Keahi.  

The Shohei Ohtani swing!

Honouliwai is pretty funny.  He’s running all over the field bumping into his teammates trying to get every ball.  Then during the game, he runs to the cooler and drinks Gatorade whenever he feels like it.  It’s pretty hilarious.  Now I have free comedy every Saturday afternoon.

November 4, 20274 Hawaii Surf Report

Tiny fun waves…

Good morning 4:20am.
North shore 4-6′ and good.
Ala Moana knee high and good.
Diamond Head waist high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sun, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Cardio Day

I decided to dedicate my day to working out.  Up at 3am doing my daily training, then as I was about to do some cardio, I thought it would be a good idea to foil.  It was still dark, a really high tide, knee high waves, and nobody to bother.  Although there were a couple surfers out, I felt like it’s only me and the sea.  I left home at 6am, foiled into 8 waves riding my last one all the way to the beach, and I got home at 7am.  The best foil/cardio exercise ever!

Good news, there won’t be any more noise all day everyday!  The strike is OVER!  Waikiki can go back into peace as the workers will go back to work on Tuesday.  That was the nosiest 40 days Waikiki ever had to experience.

Jerome, Malcom, Scott, and Kyle were the only guys out.  If you had the right board, it was fun.

This was my last ride in.  I drove home as the sun was still rising.  Then I didn’t know what to do for the rest of the day?  Haha.
