Dog walked. A Should Do (not a Todo) list as long as a giraffe’s leg.

Wife started her new job this week. Is a bit stressed but transitioning better than I thought.

On the fun side, get to have a cigar with a guy I’ve known since kindergarten. That cigar and light-en-ment event at 11.

All good with us. Appreciate the concern.

The fires on Oahu are in the Central and West areas. We’re more North / Northeast, so in general, our area is much wetter / greener. Luckily too, the Ko’olau Mountains separate us from the areas prone to wildfires.

The fires on Maui have been bad. The winds from Hurricane Dora are fueling 3 areas and smoke has been covering most of the island. All schools, except in Hana, are closed. The fire and smoke has shutdown all roads going into Lahaina. Travel to Maui is highly discouraged. The Big Island is also experiencing high winds and fires but not as bad as Maui.

101. The high for the next ten days ranges between 100-102.

But it’s a dry heat. (No it is not)

Only if you want one that will break all the time.

Ridgeline had its first failure today. Put the windows down for the dogs as we left the house. 3 of 4 windows went back up when we got on the highway. I stopped and turned it off/on, window started to go up and the little dog put her paw on the button to put it back down. It went back down. Would not go back up. Turned around to go home, kept trying the window and you could hear a click but no movement. As we got off the highway it worked. So I turned on the window lock and we went to the campground.

All set up, got the fire going, laying in my hammock with a cigar. Not too hot but very humid. Thunderstorms forecast in 2 hours. Good thing we're camping in a tent...

Well... spent the day helping my buddy lift and move sh-t. Picked up the new sectional at Costco... could only fit 2 of 3 boxes. Dropped those at his house, put the old sectional in the truck and took it to Salvation Army. Went to Costco and got the 3rd box.

Got everything unboxed, assembled and situated. I need a nap.

Might be a service bulletin for the window regulator? My wife's old CR-V (2008) did that on the passenger's side and they replaced it for free.

Possibly. Gotta check the ridgeline forums n stuff. That's something I can fix myself anyway so no big deal if there's no tsb. Just need to trace down the failure point.

I remember going there many years ago. Pretty little town and it looks like from the news reports it may be about gone.

Wrestled with the medical community today. Miscommunications between the sleep lab and the cardiology department. Lots of suggestions that the other unit is responsible for the lack of communication.

They’ll have more info for me next week some time. Brick wall

When ours was replaced, found for an extra $50, we could upgrade from the standard 22,000 to 33,000 cycles. Happily paid for the upgrade.

Home from camping. Tent camping with family kinda sucked. No big deal solo, but wasn't our thing. Kid loved it though, so that made up my mind. We can buy a small camper that fits for wife and me and boy said he'd be happy to have his own tent.

I think the biggest downside is no bathroom. Sure there's facilities at the campground, but it's not convenient especially in the middle of the night. The next one, equally important is the noise. Again, solo camping at the racetrack this don't bother me much. But wife said she couldn't get any sleep and every time I woke up I had to be cognizant not to flop around on the air mattress and wake her. Lights from passing cars and flashlights go right through the tent too. Also all the raccoons scurrying along the sides of the tent got the dogs riled up all night. Boy said he "slept better than at home".

So without the boy in the camper, our choices are much better. I'd been pretty set on a hybrid camper which is a normal hardside camper but the beds fold/slide out like a popup camper. But after seeing how much the noise woke both of us up, canvas sided beds aren't gonna work.
