Pretty sunset.
Wrapping a present for Ogii. Sometimes you have to get creative when you have wrapping paper that doesn't really fit the present.
After I ordered some of these in size 9 and found on they were women's size, Ogii ordered some new ones for me.
In a women's size 10, which fits.
We need another one of these cruise shirts for Brett, which I had originally ordered in 2023.
However, they are no longer available.
If I find the seller, they have these other shirts.
And I can actually find the shirt with the correct background.
But once you click on a size, it says currently unavailable.
I messaged them and asked if I could still order one or at least get the background template, but they said they said no.
So maybe our best bet is to take a picture of an existing one...
... and see how close another shirt manufacturer can get it. Most only print in a square in the front, but a few will wrap the image all the way around, so we'll try one of those.
A bird tearing off pieces of the rug on our balcony to use for its nest.
A big bug on the wall.
A tiny baby gecko on the floor.
Someone found a surfboard and put up a poster saying to call them if it's yours. That's nice.
Round Coke bottles for the World Cup.
Goats at work.
I think they mostly come to drink the water here.
They'll stand on their back legs to eat tree leaves.
One of the older males.
Eating leaves and scraping a tree limb to mark his territory.
I like this new Chess.com game review graphic that shows the evaluation as you go along. It makes it easy to see where your big mistakes and opportunities were.
Like in this game, we were pretty even.
And then I made a big mistake.
But then so did he.
Except I missed it. Gotta look for next time.
Everyone always says Costco Travel is cheaper than other portals.
Although not in this case, especially as I had some Enterprise points to get two free days, so I only had to pay for one day.
Planning the flight back from Bismarck for Thanksgiving. We want to take the 5:45am flight because it has an 80% on-time performance.
Whereas the next flight, the 9:15am one, only has 63%; it's late a third of the time. That's the one where we got stuck at the airport until 8pm once because they ran out of de-icer, when the first flight arrived on time.
Unfortunately, the early flight isn't available to book with points, only the second flight.
Even though the first flight is cheaper. I have no idea how they decide which flights to make available with points, but in this case, it's worth paying the full price, just to get the increased on-time performance.
One good thing; the more expensive seats are above the wings. We don't like being there because the wings block our pictures, so we actually prefer the cheaper seats.
Walmart has cheap bananas, but they're not apple bananas, so I don't want them.
I do want some of this bread, but nobody was selling it yet. One of the drawbacks of going shopping early in the morning.
What I do want at Walmart is this clip-on phone clamp with a long neck.
The website says it's in aisle K17.
Hmm... I see aisle K18, but no 17. I guess this half aisle to the right is 17.
But it's not there, and it doesn't seem like it belongs there. All of the phone clamps are in a different aisle.
So I asked an associate, and he said they had some in the back and grabbed me one.
I also wanted some smaller combination locks for our luggage.
This review on Amazon had a ruler on it; that's helpful. But let me see if I can find a small one in the store first.
This section of the store has all the locks.
These are small, but they don't have the combination, only a key.
Also, I had to go to another section to find a ruler to compare to the size on Amazon.
These are about as small as the smallest ones I found on Amazon.
A big millipede by our door.
Pretty sunset.
Especially with the rain beside it.
Our new credit card has all of these notification options.
Although the easiest one is just have it email me every time there's any charge over a penny.
What's this as the base of our stairs?
A dead rat. Looks like someone's dog got it.
Good thing I was already taking the garbage down; I can toss the rat in there.
We just rewatched the first three seasons of Ted Lasso in anticipation of the fourth season in August, and here he's in a commercial for the World Cup.
In the real world for the World Cup, two of the Fox Sports analysts for the World Cup were in the Ted Lasso show.
Thierry played himself in the show.
And Zlatan was the inspiration for Zava.
A woman at the post office has this cute stuffed dinosaur on her computer screen.
$5 Fridays at Safeway. You can sometimes get a few whole meals out of it: fruit.
Pork loin.
Not $5 Friday, but still on sale.
They seem to be out of the cheap Pepsi, but there's a sign saying there's more by the meat.
Yep, a whole pyramid of it.
Those steaks are so thick; I wonder how people cook them.
These Maui Style potato chips are also on sale, but I don't like them.
I was looking for the $5 bacon, but I couldn't find it. Turns out the people checking out in front of me had bought a ton of it and not left any. That's not nice.
This plant we had planted at the garden party looks like it's getting eaten by bugs.
Although one nearby is fine.
Beautiful old car.
Ogii found an image that explains the pieces of our wedding rings.
Time for massages.
Then for a little walk along Nalani St.
The Onion House is unique. It was hand-built by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, the walls are made of Hawaiian Koa wood and lava rock, it has stained-glass windows by famed artist James Hubbell, and even an unhosted Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) license. Although $3 million is a bit steep.
Pretty painted mailbox.
Don't drive fast.
These people really don't want people on their property.
Some roses.
Old car.
A gecko has made it its home.
Many leaves on these power lines.
Lots of fruit.
Plumeria.
Two geckos keeping an eye on each other.
Rain on the ocean.
Ogii using the phone clamp to lie in bed and watch her videos.
Time to make the pork loin.
There are many recipes online, although they're all fairly similar.
Just rub it with a few spices and bake it.
It came out pretty good.
See starring Jason Mamoa was one of the launch-day shows Apple TV. We've been watching a bit of it.
The premise is everyone is blind except these two siblings. I can't get into it because they should simply all of their resources making bows and arrows for those two so they can kill everyone from a distance, but they don't; only the girl shows a bow, she only has a few arrows, and there's tons of hand-to-hand fighting.
We are watching the World Cup on Telemundo via Peacock as we don't have Fox Sports. I actually prefer it because there are fewer commercials and the announcers are so much more excited than the American ones, especially when there's a goal. Although the closed captioning it's very accurate; it only says "gol!" instead of "gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!"
They don't show it often, but the referee view is neat, too.
