cheese! we went to dinner last night and i asked Atsuko-san and Kimura-san to smile. the first shot, Atsuko-san smiled and Kimura-san gave his serious face. so i ask them to smile again as i took this photo. Kimura-san trying to smile as Atsuko-san so happy. good shot! these people are like me family, Mother and Father type. they always support me, they always take care of me, they always laugh at my boring jokes. haha. hope you both enjoy the rest of your hawaiian paradise vacation.

in this photo are the islands of hawaii. covered in clouds, rain, and a very heavy storm on the way. today was pretty wet, but it’s only going to get worst.

i finally finished my second book “Norwegian Wood.” it was very interesting with a great ending. another awesome book that i was drawn into. i felt like i was in my college days again. oh boy it was fun! now i’m looking forward to watching the movie.
here is the trailer for the next movie on my list. the next 2 hours i have a break, i’ll turn off my phone and watch this movie by myself.

i met VHO7V owner Ed Sugimoto this morning. a super cool and talented guy that has a lot going for him. we had a great talk and i’m sure you will be hearing about this guy again in the near future. stay tuned.

thanks Ed for the cool t-shirts and cap. can’t wait to wear them!

i eat a local moco about once a year. today was that once in a year. a fried rice meat patty with 2 eggs loco moco at a new place i tried. it was super good and now i’ll be eating more than one loco moco a year.

then i took the girls snorkeling. there is a sunken ship outside of waikiki that has a lot of fish, turtles, and sharks. i just didn’t tell them about the sharks because i know they wouldn’t have snorkeled there. don’t worry because they are friendly sharks.

i checked pipeline this evening and seen all the sand from the beach going out into the lineup. this means junk pipeline for the next swell. go backdoor or OTW!
