Lots of dots but where’s the com, net and org?
Spending a day shopping for hardware at Home Depot in Honolulu builds up an appetite, or at least that’s my excuse. So I decided to test out an iPhone App I have called Yelp that uses my location to make suggestions for places to eat or drink nearby. Yelp suggested Sugoi only about a block away. [...]
‘You crash, we dash’
The title is what someone on an airport crash & rescue crew said was their slogan. My plane at San Francisco. We had a little problem with an acrid, burning smell upon take-off, no smoke. The pilot, and passengers, didn’t care for that much so we made a U-Turn and headed back for SFO. We [...]
Shaka and suds at 777
Dennis at Triple 7 during my last night in Las Vegas. He hosted a BBQ at his place the night before, no photos of that as it was just too kick-back. Dennis practicing his shaka for a future trip to Hawaii. Carly probably wondering if she could finish another Royal Red Ale. Triple 7 [...]

The Tinglerz at Double Down Saloon. Click on image above for video. Had to park across the street, make our way past a couple of cop cars with lights spinning on the street in front of the bar, something about a car driving the wrong way on the one way street in front. Got [...]

Sedona sightseeing
Nut Brown Ale in Sedona at the Oak Creek Brewery. Pretty good stuff, smooth, and this from someone who isn’t much of a beer drinker. Johnnie, Sophie, Matt, Abbie, Dooley, me.
More dough
Fry bread in Cameron. This is fat-free right? Grand Canyon next. The drive west. That’s a lot of erosion. My hosts, Matt was at work, in Flagstaff. They used to live in Hawaii, okay, Dooley lived in California until he got displaced by wildfires and couldn’t find his owners but he seems to be [...]
Show me da dough
Okay, so I didn’t get to Fisherman’s Wharf but they did have a Boudin Cafe at SFO where I could buy a loaf of bread for the trip and a bowl of chowder. Chowder in Boudin sourdough bread bowl. No Anchor Steamer, this was breakfast. Posted via WordPress for iPhone. WP rocks. Fog, [...]
Airport Crash
Looks like Honolulu International Airport had their Departures flight screen experience a Windows computer crash. It’s a good thing the rest of the airport doesn’t run Windows…or does it?
