Walked around a light industrial area to find a part for Dwight’s dive computer. Eventually found it in a regular store.

Rented a boat. Watched a humpback whale spiral up into the air: didn’t take photos, just wanted to be in the moment.

At harbor waiting for my returning SCUBA diver. Figured this is a good vantage point, purely to get out of the sun.

Went to the harbor to buy fish to cook this evening.

Enjoyed the night sky. Jupiter is close to the moon.

Wrote about our (rented) house on Hawaii Big Island.

This house is much as it was when built in 1947, and has been in the same family. This week it’s our family home.

Assembled components for Volcano version 1.0. Too tame, so tomorrow we’ll build bigger, badder, version 1.1.

Walked shoreline, then back across lava fields on an old trail (Kings’ Highway).

Wrote about hiking in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

This morning our nephews woke up in Minnesota. We whisked them from KOA (Kona) to this pool. A lot of energy to burn.

Pre-dinner volcanic show this evening. We didn’t come here for this, but it’s a pleasant bonus.

Two days hiking Volcanoes National Park. For me, hiking is not sightseeing, but there’s plenty sights along the way.

Got to use my National Park lifetime senior pass for the first time. Free admission to Volcanoes National Park.

Hiked down, took selfie at spot Capt Cook annoyed the locals and died 235 years ago. I grew up near where he grew up.

Rain set in for the day: we’re enjoying the view and reading. My pick: “What I talk about when I talk about running.”
