The average family of 5 uses 400-500 gallons of water per day.

This is our water use this week for our group of 5 (plus 2 guests for 1/2 the week).

We are in a water crisis across much of the Earth. Doing our part here to conserve….

Anyone else tracking their water consumption?

After only 4 years my Craftsman power washer is kaput.

It is so frustrating when equipment fails after a short time.

They really don’t make things like they used to.

YES, that is SNOW in HAWAII!

It is a Snow Day today on Maui as Haleakeala Crater gets a dusting of snow after last night’s incredibly violent and intense thunderstorms.

Believe it or not, we will see snow at the top of the 10,000+ peak once or twice a year.

I had the privilege of meeting Larry here while visiting Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This kind soul was rescued and lives on a reserve (he was rewilded several times, but kept returning to to the reserve).

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Jupiter! 🔭

First time using the iPhone to smap a quick picture of the stars and I’m pretty pleased with my shot. This is without any attachments or extra lenses.

Morning on the farm today . . . not too shabby a sunrise.

Thanks Eric. Sending some of those chill vibes your way!

You go to your kid’s bathroom and find this in their retainer cleaner 👀👀👀

In case you can’t figure out what’s in there, that’s what appears to be a gecko that has begun to dissolve in the water.

Any guesses how long it was in there (and how long the kid has gone without their retainer)?

Made it up to Polipoli State Park in Kula with the family for a picnic and some exploring / off-roading.

Took in some amazing scenery at 6,500 feet for this pic.

This dog is such a good boy!

High-speed rail in Japan is cleaner, more comfortable, and less expensive than traveling by plane. It is also quiet, fast and has a much smaller environmental impact.

Upgrading to first-class (seen here) isn’t a major financial burden either.

Some local Maui wildlife… 🫣🤯

You do not want to get bit by a centipede but luckily this one is dead. Biggest I’ve ever seen.

G’night everyone…

My daughter and I turned Chat GPT into a Geometry teacher for her high school class.

Just put in a few prompts and voila. 🧮

She’s now using it to help quiz her to prepare for finals.

AI can help students learn.

Now to get parents and schools to show them the way - or at least get out of the way.

Promised my daughter I’d read this….

So far I’m loving it and I think I picked a good spot to enjoy it.
