===============================================

As we all take that sigh of relief after the hurricane passed.

We can at least look back and laugh at a couple of funny moments from Hurricane Douglas.

 

 

The video is no longer available - bummer!

At least I got some screen shots.

Braddah Karl should be our new weather man!

Minimal effects from Hurricane Douglas!  Thank goodness!

I stayed home again, I wasn't sure if the park still closed and wasn't sure how bad the winds were.

Did anybody go surf?  I'll be there tomorrow!

 

Just sharing these pics of braddah Sam on his new boogie Foil!

Sam is always up to new things!

I stole these from Sam's FB post

 

Sunday 07-26-2020

No surf for me today. I'm staying home to make breakfast and do any last minute hurricane preparations. Fill more water and clean up the yard.

 

I haven't made these breakfast potatoes in a while.

Dora and Dawn like it and it's pretty healthy - low fat and no salt.

 

 

I found these vegan sausages at Foodland - Italian and Chipotle. No meat!

 

 

Heated the sausages

 

 

After baking the veggies, add sausage and it's ready!

 

Stay at home and stay safe!

 

Tennis Weekend League 07-13-2020

This past weekend was the first time Dawn and her team got to play in a USTA JTT Tournament.

There were many new rules and guidelines in place to maintain the important social distancing.

We joined at the last minute as a chance to get the kids to play, many of which haven't really been practicing much.

I was just happy for the team to advance to the final round.

 

They did it!  Champions!

So happy and proud of them!!!

 

 

Stoked!

 

 

This is a photo from last season pre-pandemic.

Most of the kids pictured played this past weekend.

Congratulations Team!

You are AMAZING!

Father's Day Lunch 06-22-2020

Yesterday, after the morning surf, I wanted to eat sushi for lunch.

We went to get take-out from Hana Sushi in Hawaii Kai.

 

Dora and I love this Spicy Ahi on Crispy rice!!!

 

 

Dora always gets the Spicy Ahi Bowl.

There's a layer of tempura flakes on top of the rice that adds a light crunch!

 

 

I was reminded of our trip to Japan while eating my Salmon and Ikura bowl!

I love Ikura!

 

Father's Day Dinner 06-20-2020

We had an early Father's Day dinner last night.

Dora and I have been checking where has the best Father's Day take-out but Dora's mother offered to make her Batayaki!

We all love her Batayaki!

 

Simple selection of tender beef and vegetables!

 

 

Prime Beef seared in butter!

 

The secret is in the home-made dipping sauce!!!!

 

I like plenty of veggies in mine!

 

We were stuffed but how can you turn down a Coco puff? No can!

Good night!

 

Report Card Dinner 06-04-2020

Today Dawn got her report card for the year.

For the year her GPA is 4.143

Her cumulative GPA is 4.071

Dawn is proud of her efforts and is moving toward her goal of being a Valedictorian. 

Dora and I are equally proud of her goals and her results!

 

This calls for a good dinner!   Roy's to the rescue!

 

Now that's what I call a winnah Plate lunch!
