Pissed Off To Da Max

Posted on December 30, 2017 by Mokihana

So. My last post was so long ago…partly because of dealing with this knee stuff…but mostly because the photo storage place which shall not be named has hijacked and held hostage almost all my photos for a $400.00 ransom; they don’t want me to be able to use third-party hosting unless I pay them that ridiculous amount of money per year.  So many, many, of my blog post images look like this:

Junk, yeah? So what I basically have to do is rebuild my entire blog, which, as you know, has hundreds, if not thousands, of photos in my posts.  I mean, probably a good 20-30 photos in each post at times. (Think all my Montana Road Trip photos, for instance.) Which I now have to upload directly from my computer…except for the ones I can’t find right away. So I have to sort through tons of images on my computer in to find them.

Sure, I could start all over again and just let that stupid image above dominate my posts. But I no like do dat.  What I’ve got to do is start writing anew, and little by little, see if I can find time to fix all my other posts.

To say that Iʻm hūhū is the understatement of the year. And Iʻm not the only one, either.

Oy. Poor bloggie, suffering in da heat and smoke and Mokihana’s hurt knee.  Finally da rains wen come, and da smoke wen disappear after burning thousands of acres, set off by some lolo kid/s who thought that throwing fireworks into dry brush would be fun. This was just one of many photos I took from our lānai showing how thick the smoke was.

Ho Da Hot! Ho Da Smoke!

Posted on August 3, 2017 by Mokihana

Having to stay home and in the house all the time is difficult for me. I’m losing track of days since my usual schedule wen hemo. Out da window.  Afuera de la ventana. Usually I’ve got something going almost every day, going here, going there. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a cave and long to be outside, even with alla smoke. But ho da hot! This squirrel on our lānai railing was sure feeling it yesterday when it got to be over 100°. I don’t feel sorry for him because he always tries to kakaroach the suet in my bird feeders.  The birdbath has plenny water in it, though. He can drink that; I don’t mind.

2017 Tour de Fleece: Pau

Posted on July 25, 2017 by Mokihana

Well, I didn’t get as involved with the TdF as I’ve been in the past; just too much going on every day. But I did manage to watch a bunch of it on TV.

But this is what I did get done. First, I spun this yarn and got it put onto two shuttle bobbins, ready for plying.

Montana Road Trip 2010, Chapter Forty-Three

Posted on July 15, 2017 by Mokihana

I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself tonight. I was having trouble loading the correct size photos here; they were all too small, and I couldn’t enlarge them because then the resolution was junk. I tried figuring it out, but couldn’t. I figured I’d have to call my guru on Monday.  But tonight, because I’m not a quitter, I thought, ‘There has to be a way!” So I worked with it some more, and figured it out!  So now we can continue with the Montana Road Trip! Chee hoo!!

We were still on Highway 95 South, almost to Lewiston. We’d stopped to take photos, and I liked this tree.

Tour de Fleece 2017

Posted on July 14, 2017 by Mokihana

I’ve been busy with the Tour de Fleece, and haven’t posted anything about it! Gah!! So here are some photos of my progress. Hmm… I got a new external hard drive to avoid Photobucket, but I have a few glitches to work out. I kakaroached my photos from Ravelry for this post. I try to have a new mascot for each day.

Especially for AFK

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Mokihana

Mahalo to the Hood River Sheriff’s Office for this terrific post on their Facebook page:

Pursuit in Parkdale Ends Peacefully

Last weekend HRSO deputies engaged in a pursuit in the Parkdale area. Lasting about 45 minutes, the pursuit only covered approximately 2.5 miles of roadway.

Deputies tried to turn it into a high-speed pursuit, but the subject was having none of it. At one point the incident turned into a standoff, as depicted in the picture.

Had the unnamed cameraman held the camera a little lower, we might have glimpsed a cold sweat beading the brow of Deputy Plese while staring down the subject. In the end, the iron will of the Sheriff’s Office prevailed, and the subject moved along, the pursuit ending in a field a short time later. No one was injured.

In the meantime, discussions will be had about making the Cow Whisperer an on-call position.

Just another day in the life.

Stay safe out there.

JI

K’den. While I’m working on the next Montana Road Trip post, I’ll wikiwiki get these up. And yeah, I realize that if I didn’t do this post, I could be working on the Montana one. But I going doyem anyway.

Right around Christmas time, our neighbors across the road always do this wonderful garland. And this was when we started getting a bunch of snow. And ice.

Montana Road Trip 2010, Chapter Forty-Two

Posted on June 26, 2017 by Mokihana

Itʻs been a long time since we were rolling through the Palouse country of Idaho, yeah? To think that this trip was seven years ago… no can believe! Time goes much too fast; I wish I could slow it down. This is a long post to make up for the delay.

We took some videos along this highway, and lesson learned from AFK, I should’ve had some Hawaiian music playing instead of just silence except for road noise. I have since changed my ways. We stopped the car to take this one. I thought that silence was better than hearing me talk.  Hawaiian music da best of all.
