Lazy Days and Lazy Nights

There is one thing I noticed about living in Hawaii, that is, it is easy to be lazy.

Except for some shopping, cleaning and personal things, I am not doing much of anything. AND, I like it!

I am not getting much enthusiasm from anyone to print my labels. I pretty much gave up on one printer who is not in much of a hurry. The second printer appears not to be checking email over the holidays.

The mortgage company decided they would have an appraisal done of the house. I hope to have that scheduled soon. Then the closing should be not far behind.

Soon I should be able to start fixing up the house and clearing the land.

I went to a house blessing today. SOme fellow onliners (KonaWeb.Com) just moved in and asked for a blessing. There were at least 20 or 30 people there and my neighbors have a great house and a beautiful view of Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Monument! From my house I cannot see the bay or monument, but I’ll try cutting down a few more trees

There is a radio station here that is an attempt at a rock station, but still has a ways to go. Then again, they are playing the same music I did when I was a DJ at a small station in Kentucky in the 70’s and 80’s. I guess the lack of big-city stations adds to the back-home feel of the area. You can go into the post office and people know you by name. Of course, stopping by everyday to see if you have boxes helps.

After the blessing I came home and got on the internet. My dialup conencted at 36 kb tonight I hope I can get Earthlink to hook up DSL. Otherwise, it is Roadrunner; but I MUST have something faster than this!

I must have fallen asleep for a while because I woke up and it was dark outside. I assumed it was about 5am but seems it was only 10pm. The weatherman report called for heavy rain and thunderstorms. We are certainly getting them! I don’t hear the thunder, but the rain against the leaves outside the house makes it sound like a gully-washer!. There is one break in the gutters and the water has been streaming down the outside stairway for years, causing rot. I wish someone had fixed that a long time ago, so I would not have to replace the stairs once I own the place.

There are no TV stations near me and I don’t want cable. I’m shipping my C-Band satellite receiver and will look for a dish here soon. Thus all I have to watch on TV is old video tapes (many from over 5 years ago). Perhaps I will finally get to watch some of those things I recorded and never got to. I seem to remember lots of tapes of the Olympics… the L.A. Olympics…..
