This condo was built in 1979 so that makes it 44 years old.  I don’t think they ever changed the electrical or plumbing ever since because this is vintage stuff.

The new light switches are made in China so this won’t last for 44 years.

I got an estimate to change all the electrical light switches and outlets and they electric company quoted me $1000.  The parts only costed me $40 so I saved a lot of money today.

Then I had time to do the plumbing too.  I got an estimate of $950 to change the water valves for the condo.  The parts costed me only $60.  I can’t believe how much labor these guys charge!  Crazy!  I literally saved almost $2000 today.

I took me all afternoon so I thought I’d treat myself to an ice cold Kirin draft beer.  Cheers to saving a lot of money today!

Yesterday once more:  The waiting game…

Good morning 5am.
High surf warning.
Box jellyfish warning.
North shore coming up to 10-12′ today.
Ala Moana knee high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds back at 25mph.
Sunny and cool.
Have a wonderful day!

Early morning Bowls was good again.  Bigger and cleaner than yesterday.  Not too many surfers because of the box jellyfish warning.  But no jellyfish today.  Only clean water, good waves, and good vibes.

Two days in a row on the foil and starting to feel comfortable again.  It’s amazing how much speed I can get on these little waves.  

Thank goodness I got back into surfing because now I can surf on my foil.  The one thing is I’ve been riding the same equipment for a while so things are starting to get boring.  I heard there are a lot of new foils out now so maybe Santa will bring me a faster one for Christmas.
