Did another #lafires trip South, this time to The Dream Center in LA, last time was the Calico Fish House in Huntington Beach. Wow! what a turnout of cars, volunteers, food trucks, and corporate donations 💙🇺🇸
Omw down I heard the above song and how apropos was that 😍
Two of my patients run a thrift store up here and they received a ton of stuff to donate. It's a Mom and daughter and they're the middle of that four generation family at our office 😁
ArizonaMike wife sent $ and I got stuff from Walmart.
Took a Side trip to Santa Monica pier for Beach Therapy and a hike, of course 😆
Just tryna do the best I can with whatever time that I have left. I'm so Blessed to still be here over 10 years after and wanna Spread Aloha whilst I'm still able
between your patients, working clearing out houses, travel , beach vibing and representing for our passed brothers , ….. I Dunno how you have time for anything else , wow. You have a big heart buddy.
Mahalo nui loa Bruddah Kal, ya know how hyper I am, that may be part of why I'm still Standin -Yea, Yea, Yea 😃.
Office open 4 sometimes 5 days/week and I love driving/music, maybe with Road Beers😜 🍻. So with a Friday off, by Sat I can be bored - but #lafires trip was needed and I had so much collected that I couldn't just stay home and NOT take it down.
I combine things into trips, as y'all have noticed. The 1st trip I did a drop off, beach hike, visit to In Laws and Betty's. #2 drop off, SM and 99 Ranch. This Friday, maybe another drop off if needed and a Betty run. No Ventura for a few weekends
well the good news is that they didn’t have to drive to a national park or snow play area. The bad news is they didn’t have to drive too a ……….. Rotflol. 5” of snow at my brothers in law apartment near Houston…. First time. In nearly 100 years . lol. Houston’s minds are blown.
If that ever happened here, it’d kill 69% of all veggies eaten in the rest of the country. Gonna be about 68-70f here today and tomorrow. In jacuzzi right now, trying for the zoo in my echair after lunch.
Woooooo hooooooo great snow video buddy. I’m impressed , love it. Those were big snowflakes …huh …. . We don’t have that up here, that I know of. Playing in the snow is great fun for everyone. Especially when the big soft snowflakes are falling. Late night there, I’ll bet you can almost hear them. You could make “ noir “ movies and be good at it.
I love how serene/peaceful it is in the snow, saw a bunch of people in the local park playing in it. Last night on my walk saw many snowmen in the neighborhoods. Big fat floating flakes, I'd rather hike in falling snow than rain
welp you definitely seem like a guy that appreciates snow alright. Myself , I’ll just hang out down here on the valley floor , in my chaise lounge , sipping my tangy lemonade…… sitting under my banana tree jungle . Rotflol.
I lived in winter snow until I was 12 years old, Cincinnati, S.E. Indiana. When you live out on a distant farm, winters can be harsh.
I dig the fat fluffy flakes and not crazy single digit or negative temps blizzards, still that sun loving Hawaii boy😂
And ya know how I love Beach Therapy, sun, beers, fish tacos and the Pier. I wasn't ever stuck homebound with feet of snow outside, so a lil snow brings me some joy, peace, serenity.
Hadn't been in snow til my teens when I was in LA for college and ventured up to Big Bear
Luckily you have a kinda straight shot to the water from there ( figuratively speaking ). Those basket loads of negative ions off the beach soothes any furrowed brow. It’s an addictive thing of pleasure. I am surprised tho, that you never saw any snow in Hawaii, I would have thought that being so rare in the islands , you and your family would have picnicked up there in the snow many times .
Weather cleared up here , down the valley , very pleasantly…slight chances of “ some “ on the weekend and “ significant “ rain next week. Great “ getting out “ opportunities here.
Maaaan , my world had been coming apart / becoming nasty and unglued last few weeks. Increasing as time passed. About 6 weeks ago I decided to quit benzos and went off my Xanax ….. thinking maybe gummies could substitute for them and give me a break from benzos. I’ve taken Xanax everyday for mostly the last 6 years and 3 months. Panic attacks related to my breathing and my cpap machine , trying to go bed at night , had become overwhelming . Downright scary unpleasant. This stopped me from having rem sleep and put me into benzo withdrawal. Losing rem sleep can rock your world in a bad way.
Anyway , first I thought “ why “ quit if it’s helping so much …. Duhhhh …. Then I realized if I was going to get any rem sleep, I have to get back to Xanax again.
Did that last night for first time in weeks and woke up feeling like a new person, especially mentally. WOW what a difference. Since I could croak anytime / any minute ( years overdue ) , being worried about benzos is misplaced concern and my being - feeling good is the appropriate paramount focus. lol. This is the best morning - start of the day I’ve had in many weeks …. and boy I’m a happy camper this morning. Rotflol. Almost as good as those negative ions at the beach brother.
Yea I liked that video too. Those nice flowing flakes in the shimmering light look like what I call a 32 degree snow (fahrenheit). Around the midwest its another sign your coming out of the 20 below zero stuff. Momentarily anyway lol.
Here in the artic (twin cities where I've been for 4 years lol) the snow is melting also. And I am absolutely fine with that lol. Somewhere in history they really took a "if you cant beat it join it" attitude about the winters here. Everyone seems to be dissapointed in mild winters ha, lol.
Living in Iowa and Chicago I don't remember anyone being disappointed in lack of snow and lack of severely cold weather to keep the lakes frozen lol.
This is kinda like 10 or 15 degree snow and of course some wind lol.
Its fun at first. Hunkered down with good food, feelin cozy in the warm house lookin out the window watchin a movie, the excitement of if the weather is going to get worse.
You guys and all of this snow talk is chilling my old bones.
So far we have missed out on any snow this winter, just nighttime temps in the upper 20's. I always turn into a big kid in the fresh snow. I love frolicking in the snow with the kids, grandkids and dogs. Now days though my balance is sometimes iffy, so best to stay indoors and watch your pics and videos.
Yikes …. Twin cities …. You absolutely do know about snow. lol. I dunno, back when I lived in snow / cold weather I liked it. I welcomed the changing seasons. You really learn to appreciate seasons . Here it’s never really cold , we have the hot season and the warm season. Days , sometimes, can be chilly here in winter , nights can approach freezing , but it warms up 30-35 degrees in the daytime.
Now that I’m old, my bonz work better in the warm weather Rotflol. Plus can’t risk falling down too. lol I can go see 12’ deep snow , 45 minutes east of here and play in it if I want. The hammer and I still have cross country skis out in the garage.
I’m past that type of snow fun nowadays , but I enjoyed it and wish I had done more of it when I was able.
Randy, you are a resounding success at spreading Aloha. We all love you here, you are such a ray of sunshine and a real inspiration. Keep on keepin' on!❤️
Awww Malaho nui loa Sista HW💙. Life's too short to be bitter, angry, ungrateful or to stay home😜
As I drove up to the Dream Center dreamcenter.org/?utm_source... and queued up amidst all the other cars, I was elated to be able to help. Then as I turned and saw the dozens of volunteers, my heart skipped a lil. What a glorious sight it was to see how the Community came out.
Thank goodness not much happened with this new weather. Those poor souls have been thru and continue to be living in hell. It wasn’t just their home of 4-5 generations, in places the whole neighborhood is totally gone. Nothing you remember about it exists anymore. No land marks, businesses , nothing at all. It’s mind boggling to say the least. Yikes …
Thank you! We are in a great mood this week, hubby is slowly feeling better. Also we got first granddaughter born on Jan.20. So we have grandson and granddaughter now. It is great, very blessed.
Awww, how wonderful. I'm middle of 3 boys, had 4 boys, then a girl, then 3 grand daughters. My baby girl is preggers with a boy, she had Penelope in 2023.
