Welcome to Adventure Blog 81
The BIG event of this last week was getting my above ground pool set up and filled with water. This all happened yesterday and that’s why the blog is a day late. Nothing is easy here and the preparation for the pool followed suit. But, I am thrilled to have this therapy pool and a cold bath of water for hot days here. I had my first “swim” this morning and it is so great to have.
Filling the pool drained the big tank so that is ready for moving which will hopefully happen next weekend as I am now using a garden hose from the bottom tank for kitchen and bathroom water.
Ben came and made more of the rock wall in the back yard. Said he was coming today, but no sign of him.
This will be short because I just spent a lot of time making the flight reservations for three friend/workers to arrive on Thanksgiving weekend. This will be a big help to make the next leap on clearing a bigger path to the pool above and getting some invasive trees cut down. It will also allow more coconuts and kalo to be planted.
Unexpectedly on Halloween I ended up at the Ranch House Restaurant. That was the “IN Place” for singles. I found out Halloween is big in Hana-especially for singles. After dinner we entertained ourselves watching a group of people putting down a dance floor. The floor squares were put down, taken up, put down and replaced.
I now have a cover for my car. This took all day last Sunday and should have been a little larger, but helps with bird poops and the sun.

I harvested tumerick last week and am trying to figure out how to use so much. The market wanted 40 pounds and I don’t quite have that. Maybe I will do a tumerick bed for the next round.
Ben showed up and I need to go and find rocks for the wall.
Thanks for tuning in.
Aloha Nui,
