Another milestone down, I checked out of the hotel and I’m staying at the apartment now.

Just a little cloudy today no rain yet here anyway.

My wife said she is really looking forward to posting stuff like that this winter. :)

I much here. There were a few bigger waves last night while I was at the beach but nothing too bad.

Flossie was supposed to be a little stronger and it’s Yakima different path but it has really weaken with the shear but we may get some rain and wind from her.

Found a nice reasonable place for some Korean Food. Shoyu Chicken and rice for $7.00, really good too.

First night in the apartment went well. There was a concert across the street so it was nice hearing the Hawaiian music fo a couple hours.

Today I have to get everything ready that I have to take into work tomorrow. Not too much to do so it will be a lazy Sunday.

Tomorrow will be your first day as a "real" Hawaiian! No longer a "touron" (as they are referred to by locals in every tourist place I've ever lived in, LOL!)

Wow Jeff, it seems like you did find a gem of a location to rent. What was the venue for the concert across the street?

Thank You.

I never looked into it. It may have been something for the school?

First day of work in the books. Learned a lot about their systems and I have more to learn. I see that I have a lot to do also.

Everyone was really nice. So far so good.

First week went well. Starting to learn how they do things. All in all a very good start.

It takes me a little under 20 minutes to get to work and about 35 to get home. A little longer than I wanted on the way home but not too bad.

I verified with my new boss that I still have the first week of September off. I also need a day to get my car inspected and then go to the DMV to get my new plates. I’ll have to get my license too. Hopefully I can do it all at one.

My wife’s last day at work is 8-28-19 and she leaves for Hawaii on 08-31-19.
I will met her at the airport and get her bags so we can go over to Hawaiian Airlines because we’re flying their Ohana plane to Molokai. We had this trip planned for almost a year.

The car should be there so we will have to pick that up but since it’s a holiday we probably won’t be able to get it until Tuesday.

We will get to see our new windows and sliding lanai door for the first time too.

After that we’ll head back to Oahu so my wife can see the apartment for the first time.

I’ll start a new thread for our Molokai trip.

How's the house sale going? Everything around Madison is selling quickly. I have a friend trying to buy and her experience so far is your offer has to be 10k over asking.

I don’t think I’m that lucky but we’ll see. The online auction lady has everything put together and organized. She will start uploading the pictures this week. There’s an open house day where people can come in and look at everything. She said she also got several inquiries about the house too. She refers them to the realtor.

The auction should be done on 08-28-19 and that’s when it can start to be shown by realtors.

Our auction will show up on the link below.

Went down to Waikiki beach tonight and I forgot Kalakaua was blocked off because of a street fair. So I walked that for a while and stopped into Maui Brewing for dinner. Chicken Katsu sandwich with house cut fries and a Bikini Blonde ale. Then I had a Papaya Boba shake for the walk home.

One month today for me!
We were in Maui in May and went to both Breweries in the Kaanapali area. Maui Brewing Company and the other one is near Lahaina. The Coconut Stout from Maui Brewing was great. We were with friends who live in Maui and they just sent us a Quart Bottle of the new release Coconut Stout here in NY.

Not the 'real world' view most of us have.

I mentioned about the friend trying to buy a house...yesterday they made an offer 11k over asking. (Which was at least 50k over assessed value) Their offer was not accepted, they think it went for another 20 or 30k. So I have a feeling you won't be waiting long for a buyer.

P.S. Asked me where your house is. (Won't work tho, she's a Veterinarian working in Madison and he travels for work, but based out of Chi-town. )

Wow, that would be great to say the least. The house is in a rural subdivision between Baraboo, Reedsburg and Lake Delton. It’s a good 40 minutes for Madison though.

The auction lady started uploading lots onto her website. She found stuff I haven’t see in years. :)

:):p No, not at all. Just a bunch of stuff that I would never have thought of selling. Plus I forgot how much stuff we had. She has a lot to list yet.
