The California Drought Continues…
Good morning 5:30am.
Chest high at Ala Moana.
Overhead at Diamond Head.
Waist high at Waikiki.
Strong trade winds at 30mph.
Little morning sickness becoming better in the afternoon.
Cloudy morning becoming sunny and warm.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

for the past week, i’ve been trying to save my baby avocado tree. my big tree died, dropped a fruit, then this baby came out. i had to move it so i dug it out and replanted it. not looking too good so been watering it everyday, talking to it everyday, and watching it as much as possible. in the front, you can see my rosemary looking good. just hoping my avocado tree gets strong again.

i planted this gardenia plant here a few months ago and it’s growing super strong. the ground dirt and rain water keeping it so healthy.

the basil looking good too.

and the bird of paradise plant in full bloom! yeah, i’m turning my yard into a full on garden. slowly but surely.

had another great time with Oshima-san this morning. some of his best rides as his surfing is getting better and better each day. just love watching Oshima-san so stoked on surfing.

then took the girls out this afternoon for a long surf. gosh, i ended up surfing 5 hours today!!!

then i felt like polishing the boat so i started polishing it in the bumpy ocean. after 30 minutes, i started feeling sick. all my mexican lunch started to come back up to my throat. i stopped and jumped in the water. after i caught my first wave, i felt normal again. don’t ever try to polish a boat in the rocking sea. but that 30 minutes made her shine again so i guess it was all worth it!

yes, the best view in the world. i love this place!

then i came home and my friend Dexter stopped by and brought some crab. put in the steamer, ate it with ponzu and a beer. now it’s 9pm and my bedtime. surfing all day again tomorrow so can’t wait to get up again! good night.

want to thank Yumi-chan and her friends for not forgetting 3/11. over 4 years later and makes me so happy to know that people still remember. i’ll make sure this gets into the right hands. thank you again.

i bought this eye pillow Yumi-chan made in support for tohoku.

i slept really good with it last night. good weight, good smell, and good reason.

also want to thank We Are One member Miki-chan for sending me this photo of her precious new baby. it’s so amazing how new lives are formed. congratulations!

so stoked to get this present from Reid and Yuko-chan yesterday. i was wondering what was in the box?

it’s a full on shower! perfect for the truck, perfect for the boat, and perfect for camping. this will surely be in great use!

found another precious photo that was lost in my old computer files. grandson on grandpa. priceless.

last, the sports media these past few years keeps on putting Tiger Woods down. gosh, give the man a break! i’m actually feeling so sorry for him. i can’t wait till the day he wins another championship and shuts everybody up. come on Tiger! Just Do It!
