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

Yesterday we went to the Koko Marina Theaters for the last time since they will be closing on July 31, 2023.

Sad to see this place go but it's just a sign of the times. Hopefully another theater company can take it's place.

 

 

We saw Oppenheimer which to me was ok. It was interesting but moved a little slow.

 

 

Free Cameras 01-04-2020

F R E E for you blog followers!

 

Camera and waterproof housing!

Nikon D50 SLR and Fanatsea housing (I paid about $800 for the housing alone)

The camera is old but still works however, I can't find the battery charger.

I just don't use it anymore, if some can make use, go for it!

The yellow stickers are just to keep the light out of the clear housing.

 

 

Camera and housing!

Fuji  F500EXR and Finepix housing

Everything works and got the battery charger.

Still not surfing but I'm not working either - just following the doctors orders!

Since school is out, Dawn and I hit the theaters to see GODZILLA!

I thought it was good but not great!

Don't want to be a spoiler, maybe you should go for yourself.

Surf Report 01-07-2018

Waves: 1 Foot

Wind: Moderate Trades

This morning was the worst day in a while but it's always fun on a foil!   NO crowd!

 

A little windy but some good foil fun!

 

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

Yesterday we took my Mom out to lunch at Yohei Sushi in the Kapalama area.  She liked it!

 

I got the Salmon set - it was GOOD!

 

Dora and Grandma got the Sashimi and Ahi Belly combo!  Winnah!

The restaurant was very busy for lunch. Food was great quality and decent price, our sets were $19. Pretty good for what you get - we'll be back!

 

After lunch we went to see The Last Jedi.

Although it didn't answer 'who is Rey?' it was another good Star Wars movie. I guess we gotta watch the next movie.

A good family day for us!

 

Drive Aloha

Remember that commercial I went to be in?

Ta-da!   Look for the guy walking - Hawaii 5-0 - I'm ready!

We went to see an early showing of Star Wars.  Dora loved it, I thought it was good but Dawn said it was ok.

 

Go check it out!

 

Wednesday 01-23-2013 & Surf Movie

I decided to stay home to cook breakfast for Dawn and take her to school. Pray for surf!

 

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

I remember going to see surf movies at the Roosevelt High School auditorium and Queen Theater or Kapahulu Theater a few years ago (or twenty). Life was simple and it was fun.

There's a new surf movie called "A Deeper Shade of Blue" by Jack McCoy and it will be premiering at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on February 6th 2013.

A few of us are going - want to join us?
