good morning. 5:15 am. i’m guessing the waves on the north shore are small, and the onshore south/west winds on the way. don’t feel like surfing laniakea with 200 people, i’d rather be by myself underwater. going blue water hunting for BIG fish today. wish us luck!!!

a person that fixes things is called a “mechanic.”
a person that screws up things is called a “brokanic.”
i was trying to fix my wheel bearing cover on my boat trailer the other day and i slipped taking off the broken piece. check out my finger. OUCH!! you should have heard me scream!!![:??????:]

after some sweat and tears, i finally finished the job. see the oil in the cap? that’s to keep the wheel bearings lubricated all the time. nice!!!

i went to windward boats yesterday to pick up parts for my boat. i was looking around the parking lot and stopped at this boat. gosh, i would love this thing in my garage. does somebody have $40.000 i can borrow?

been going up to the mountains to see if the pigs are coming out. a 50 lbs. bag of whole corn will get them out. stay tuned for liver sashimi, fried pork, and spareribs soon!!!

and last, wanted to thank team muramatsu-san for the awesome time last night at side street. another night of good food, laughs, and a great time. if it wasn’t for surfing, i wouldn’t know all these wonderful people!!! thank you surfing!!

we pull up to haleiwa this morning. chest high and 50 longboarders. jump back in the car and head to my little secret spot around the corner. we pull up, nobody out and a lot of waves!!! i caught too many to count. and to make things better, my new board is MAGIC!! you’ll see me surfing a lot more now….

yayoi-chan is from yokohama. coming from the busy city to an empty sunny blue sky sandy beach with nobody out must have been weird… i even felt weird thinking about it. happy birthday yayoi-chan[:??$B!^(B??????:]

after a good surf session at a secret spot, a good lunch at a secret spot is a must. ever had beef stew pho? this is the only place in hawaii!! and i ain’t telling you where.. haha…
today was a wonderful secret day!
tomorrow kirby forecast: wake up at 5:30 am. if no winds, i’m going surfing and shooting photos. if onshore south/west winds, i’m going diving and shooting fish. either way, i’ll be a happy guy….
**i was a hawaii telcom customer for 20 years until i got talked 3 years ago by a friend into quitting and joining oceanic road runner for phone and internet connection. BIG MISTAKE!!! since then, my internet has shut down on me 4 days a week, and recently, everyday. i always have to reset my modem and computer to get the thing working and it takes up my time. and makes me frustrated. i’m the preacher of “time is money,” especially my time. i’m too dam busy to be sitting at home waiting for an internet connection and going back and forth resetting my modem. so after last night’s daily internet outage, i called up oceanic and cancelled my account. i’m going back with hawaii telcom and learning that the new DSL is just as fast as cable, i’m stoked. anyway, here’s my pros and cons of road runner vs. hawaii telcom.
oceanic road runner:
pros: nothing.
cons: have to share internet with thousands of others so slow speeds in the evening. or no speed for me.
expensive. and junk digital phone service. doesn’t work on power outages.
hawaii telcom dsl:
pros: cheaper. better phone service. still works on power outages. don’t have to share internet. got my private line.
cons: nothing.
come january 27th when i switch, i’ll be a happy man again… and i’ll do 30 blogs a day. haha. go easy, i’m joking…

I love this photo!!!
Who took it???
