Puttered around the house until it was time to leave for the island (11:30am). Did get a reservation for the night of October 29th made for an airport hotel in Honolulu at the tail end of Hawaii Trip Number One.
Heave traffic through the mid-section of the city, but then it thinned out — was in line by 1:15 or so. Fired up the laptop and got a bunch of work for SOB (Shirts of Bamboo) done — filed six new error reports on the new site, wrote some copy for a couple of response screens. Finished up on the ferry once we loaded. Ended up a couple of cars back in the center lane — the joys of a tiny car!
Dinner tonight with Don and Sue Campbell of Blue Toad Designs — they bought some of my equipment and are transferring some of my old 8mm films. Trying to get them to buy the screen and projector as well — but not that hard since the guests like it as well.
A Greek meal in all but the Retsina (I love it, but for many it is the Pine-Sol of fine wines) — Greek Salad, BBQ’d lamb chops and grilled white asparagus, and lots of wonderful Bonny Doon wine. I think I’ve managed to get all the prep done, and most of the things done I need to do while I’m out here. Should be a calm rest of the evening. Might even have time to vacuum!
Here are some new pictures of the church minus a bunch of stuff that has come to the city. Not quite the “minimalist” look that Curt commented on.
Even started the Bird up, and found that our friendly field mouse has chewed some more wires — got to get Whitaker up here to deal with:
- the chewed wires
- the air leak in the air-jack to push out the generator shed
- the non-working gas gauge
