Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Can't sleep so I just got up. HVAC guy was here yesterday and said hat I have a hole in the coil of the 15 year old air handler in the attic. Need a new unit. Guy put 6 lb of R22 in the unit Have an AC unit and the generator will pull it but they say not a HP due to the heat coils in the HP. Had finely scraped up the $$$ to buy a mill and lathe but don't guess that is to be for now. Been wanting them for many years.

Prayers for those in need. Ed

How low is the rent? Are you talking about Government Assisted rent or private pay rent? I was always under the impression that it cost more to live in Hawaii.

The 2 rents mentioned were $500/mon for a 2 bedroom, $600 for a 3/2. One had almost bought, but unable to get a mortgage.
No mention is GA or section 8, but probably not. Many are affordable due to absentee ownership, some due to being just basic, even unpermitted structures. Very mixed bag in Puna District. Leilani Estates has reputation of being one of the nicer Puna subdivisions with good number of retired owners. Not a lot of jobs in that area. Lot of alternative lifestyles in Puna.

70 going up to 86, humid day with thunderstorms this afternoon.
I got all the lawn mowed yesterday, good to get that done, though with these every couple of day light rains, and the heat,
I only get four or five days out of the mow. Rear facing mower does clump grass a little more than conventional mower I see in damp grass; I was mowing
early. I just let those areas dry out and ran over them again and problem solved.

Going to fill in some empty spots in the main fenced garden with cantaloupe plants coming up quite nicely outside that area.
Trying to move as much as possible into maximum security vs free domain of those hungry vegans.

The rabbits are here and there, I can't shoot them..., maybe with the bb gun on low power. I just need to make my plastic 8 foot fence better stitched up and
make sure the bottom is secure. If they want to dig, sandy soil isn't going to stop them one little bit. But I may.
Haven't seen a groundhog here, yet..., but if I do, out comes the .22. Zero hesitation to send them on to their next life, if I can get a safe shot.
And perhaps a taser dart gun for the deer...
Competition for the food supply. Can't blame the critters, I'm just a chef laying out quite the spread for them.

Hope you all have a nice day.

. We don’t have a nuclear power plant, it is Geothermal.

I had to chuckle at this, when I first saw the photo of the plant I thought it was a desalinization plant or a pumping station of some kind,
having worked in the power plant business for several very interesting years, I knew that wasn't a nuke plant. Then I read the article and
saw geothermal. Expensive plant to lose, supplies one quarter of Island's electricity I read. Maybe that's wrong too...
And you don't have to worry about any of it being totally independent.

Perhaps in some ways this will keep development out and nature in, just what the local residents want.

One slight chance of rain over holiday weekend. :thumbsup: Got nothing accomplished yesterday. Today I hope to get weed killer sprayed on fence line and other area's needing it.

45 and going to a high of 75. Wind NNW 2 mph. Mainly sunny.

I am still waiting for gravel. The first guy I called quoted me $200.oo cash for 18 ton loads of pit run, to call when I wanted it.I call and have to leave voice mail messages and he won't return my calls. The second guy I called quoted $225.oo/18 ton load and said I could see the stuff this week. The second guy screwed himself out of an extra $100.oo due to the $25.oo increase per load. I really only need three loads, but the extra loads would help with another project that right now is on the 'back burner'.

I am going to the garage today to pick their brains about a dual battery setup in the Dodge and eliminate the battery behind the fender. I think it is do-able but it will cost me about a grand to do.

My travel agent called me yesterday wanting me to go back to work. I told him I have commitments right up until the end of the month, which is the truth.

Have a safe day all
