nights and we went back monday still took over an hour and almost broke viv s spirits but we got a good enough scan and got her background check woo f ing hoo author billsaysthis categories personal posted on april 23 2025 springsteen at the main point feb 1975 are you a big springsteen fan like me then you already know this bootleg heck i had a vinyl copy 45 years ago if not i can tell you this is a clean recording of a classic 75 show that took place a few months before born to run was released one of the interesting aspects is that since this was fairly early in the recording process several of the new songs are quite different from the record versions one thunder road even has a different title wings for wheels another she s the one has lyrics that wound up in backstreets on the album jungeland is missing the plaintive wailing over the closing stanzas this was late enough that roy bittan and max weinberg were already part of the e street band no miami steve van zandt though suki lahav did feature on violin all in all 2 5 hours of e street sugar absolutely worth a listen author billsaysthis categories music personal posted on april 5 2025 april 5 2025 1 comment cataract surgery i want to capture my thoughts around this experience first i know living on an island is a different experience than say the mainland but having to drive to hilo for the surgeries and also drive home to kona right after the second one is pretty annoying since viv isn t capable of doing the driving anyway we drove to hilo on july 4 because i needed to be at the surgery center at 7 am on the 6th our hotel scp hilo was nice but just that the restaurant coconut grill was good i of course got about zero sleep thanks anxiety but showered and arrived on time being the first patient of the day is nice i was honestly terrified and the anesthesiologist was a pal and loaded me with benzodiazepine the actual operation only lasted ten minutes but i barely noticed the time thanks drugs stare at the bright light the whole time visual effects were kind of kaleidoscopic and psychedelic trippy purples and oranges around 9 30 i was done and we got breakfast i left with an eye shield over my left eye which i had to wear until returning at noon for a follow up exam we basically had a lazy weekend so i binged star trek prodigy recommended did get to have breakfast at the famous ken s pancake house sunday night i slept better with a good understanding of what was coming monday checked out and at the center at 10 my surgeon said not to be surprised if things seemed different from the first operation as the drugs do funny things to your memory and he was right i took a lot less happy juice though possibly i should ve taken a little more than i did as during the surgery i got a bit tense still all went well again and i was out just after noon we grabbed a light lunch and headed home switched the eye shield for old folks sunglasses free from the doctor driving from hilo to kona will surprise those unfamiliar with the big island it s about 95 miles of beautiful mountain road and almost nothing else as you leave hilo on the upper saddle road you climb and climb the entrance to mauna kea and an army training base are somewhere in the middle as is the only place to stop a rec area with clean bathrooms and picnic tables no stores no gas stations no houses for 50 miles the view up hill from the rec area home around 4 00 happy to collapse in my own bed while i don t have to wear them during the day just sunglasses when outside i do need to wear both eye shields while sleeping for the rest of this week definitely weird as it means sleeping sitting up let me say though that 24 hours after i m totally happy feels like being high after 55 years i can watch tv drive walk around without glasses at today s follow up the surgeon said my corneas are a little swollen still and as that goes down i ll need reading glasses if so that s fine my surgeon was dr ryan steck happy to recommend him author billsaysthis categories personal posted on july 9 2024 terrible humans tomato edition we ve had some fun with growing a bit of food in our small yards oranges lemons and pineapples have come through nicely and we planted a mango tree a few months back but it will take a year or years to start producing we also planted tomatoes from seeds i got at the library on the big island all library branches have a seed library maintained by a local gardeners association it took a few months but a few weeks back we saw a couple of tomatoes starting to bud yay but then they were gone the cause or even that it happened was unclear and then two weeks ago we saw some new babies they were coming along one was starting to turn red and then boom this morning they were just gone no trace or paw prints like you would expect if an animal had got to them so it must have been a person we have some kids in the street who ve played pranks before and this is my best guess as to who viv and i were both really upset i realize there are a lot of worse things going on in the world but you can t help your emotional reaction the plants are okay so hopefully next ones that grow whoever did this will leave them be author billsaysthis categories america personal posted on february 8 2024 2 comments the internet can be so f ing efficient so the day before we left on our vacation to new zealand last month a guy who was not being careful rear ended use on queen k highway stopping at a red light he was almost stopped so there wasn t much damage and no one was hurt when we got home we followed up and he had indeed filed a claim with his insurance and i used that to get an authorized repair shop for the work after getting the estimate and getting it approved we had the normal couple of weeks wait for parts to arrive on a cargo ship honestly i m surprised it was so fast except the rear bumper is probably a very common part to replace and so kept on hand in the warehouse just now we got a call that the parts have arrived and could we bring our car in monday for the work to be done three or four days so of course we need a rental i reached out to the guy s insurance company allstate through their webchat in less than five minutes he had the order in their system to the local enterprise and someone from enterprise called me to settle the details five minutes if only more things were this fast author billsaysthis categories personal technology posted on january 19 2024 lahaina four months after the fire if you want an overview of how things are in lahaina four months after the fire check out jesse wald s video tl dr the epa just completed the hazardous materials removal project and now the main debris removal will start and take about a year the devastation is just so visible now makes me so sad so many people s homes and businesses just gone and i imagine the rebuild will take years not just because of the number of buildings destroyed over 2 000 but also because the labor and supplies constraints for a small island maui population is what 60 70 000 but they are ohana and we will be with them author billsaysthis categories america posted on december 14 2023 into the fediverse okay that s a cutesy title but this fairly quiet blog is now posting to the fediverse at billsaysthis com billsaysthis com follow or not all good author billsaysthis categories technology posted on october 11 2023 1 comment a new city in the bay area flip it cha3yz it is to lol just posting this to come back for laughs when the whole thing collapses author billsaysthis categories personal posted on september 1 2023 favorite concert films over on the fediverse a fellow lfc supporter posted a link to a song from the concert for george film which is one of my favorites george harrison was such a quiet positive loving man and this tribute shows how much he was loved another of my favorites is the song remains the same led zeppelin s 1976 masterpiece the music is of course the centerpiece but the episodes for each member are mostly cool however what gets this on my list is more about the circumstances i did see the movie in new jersey when it was released then the following summer i took a trip to scandinavia with my parents and a pal a fellow zep fan we found ourselves in oslo free on a saturday night and tsrts was playing at this huge pre multiplex cinema so my friend and i had to go the theater was pack with a crowd wearing jeans and leather jackets and we had a blast last up was a tricky choice but let s go with bruce springsteen and the e street band live in barcelona recorded in october 2022 this is a peak performance from the rising tour update 8 10 2023 the death of robbie robertson reminded me i completely missed the last waltz which unquestionably belongs on this list the music and the members of the band dominate but the huge range of musical guests push this far past any normal concert film ana amazing evening author billsaysthis categories movies music personal posted on august 7 2023 august 10 2023 200 days i try not to make much of my exercise efforts because honestly there s not much to make but i am proud that for the last year i ve made it to the gym three times a week with four weeks at two i don t do multi hour workouts but i try and get sweaty and a little achy i also try to close the move ring on my apple watch every day and to increase the level every month or two today my close streak hit 200 days author billsaysthis categories personal posted on july 12 2023 springsteen wings for wheels what is your favorite genre of music today s prompt is what is your favorite genre of music which fits amazingly well with what i came here to write almost too well of course the answer is classic rock headlined by bruce springsteen and the e street band i d seen that wings for wheels the documentary about the making of born to run was available to stream on paramount perfect sunday morning watching i can say that even if you re not a fan of bruce s you ll probably still enjoy it for the stories behind the scenes and the insights into how a complex record gets made in a highly pressurized environment today everyone takes for granted that bruce is a huge star and icon but in 1974 and early 75 as he was writing and then recording that wasn t at all the case in fact based on how poorly the wild the innocent the e street shuffle had done this album was either going to be a hit or the end of his columbia recording contract aside wings for wheels was the original title of the song that became thunder road i don t know if this was fortunate or common practice at the time but bruce s manager mike appell had a film crew in the studio pretty much the entire time they recorded so this documentary includes a lot of footage from then as well as interviews with the band members plus appell producer jon landau jimmy iovine born to run was one of his first industry gigs as recording engineer and nils lofgren and patti scialfa author billsaysthis categories personal posted on july 9 2023 july 9 2023 eatcation 2023 this summer because circumstances we couldn t fly off island and decided to have a staycation we did drive up and spent tuesday night in waimea can recommend waimea country lodge as a modest inexpensive place to stay we also drove over to hilo friday for lunch and a little exploring honestly though our focus has really been on food there are so many good food places here we started by doing some home cooking viv always takes care of us with good food but i kicked in with a mushroom and beef dish mushrooms from a local source big and muscular and some big island raised ground beef with fresh tomatoes garlic and herbs monday we hit up caffe florian in captain cook for breakfast i had a tasty breakfast panini featuring eggs ham spinach and gouda on thin garlic bread viv had a breakfast sandwich and we split a chocolate banana muffin me and viv at caffe florian tuesday started with a visit to hapuna beach justifiably considered one of the best beaches anywhere then onto waimea we d hoped to lunch at moa kitchen but it was way full so we had chinese at jade palace nice but nothing special left room for very enjoyable dessert from sandwich isle bread company a strawberry shortcake for viv and a chocolate obsession for moi dinner though was ono ono is a hawaiian term for delicious and what we had at pueo s osteria was outstanding most certainly ono started with the crudo special ahi in a sweet garlic sauce then viv had the hamakua mushroom pizza with a white garlic sauce i went for the melanzana alla parmigiana huge portions that we enjoyed over the next couple of days if only they opened for lunch we would eat there a lot too much wednesday breakfast was hawaiian style cafe sadly the loco moko didn t meet expectations friendly staff though after checkout we hit the midweek farmers market at parker ranch decent selections we got some blood orange rose petal cabernet sauvignon jam from our favorite supplier akaka falls farm plus some fresh shortbread cookies for later highly recommend the akaka falls farm jams preserves and honey and definitely the chocolate butters if you want a treat shipped from the big island thursday we went back to captain cook for randy s huli chicken this is a hugely popular roadside bbq stand so popular they can manage only being open thursday and friday lunchtime and now every other wednesday friday as mentioned we drove the 90 miles over the saddle road to hilo picked up a fresh challah and chocolate chip cookies from papa a palaoa bakery to bring home snuck a couple of the cookies on the loooong ride home very nice lunch was at pineapples island fresh cuisine most certainly ono we shared a non alcoholic big island punch smooth and fruity viv had the swordfish fish and chips while i had the local plate featuring bbq kailua pork and teriyaki kalbi beef before heading home we stopped at the prince kuhio plaza this is possibly the only indoor mall on the whole island for sure the only one we ve been inside in the nearly two years we ve lived here apparently not something i miss saturday was simple breakfast was french toast which viv made from that challah topped with some of that sweet jam so good we had the same again sunday both accompanied by fresh orange juice squeezed from oranges grown in our yard one last meal out on monday breakfast at holuakoa coffee shack tasty we both had the breakfast burrito with portuguese sausage and split a lovely chocolate topped donut from i suspect paradise hawaiian bakery one thing to be careful about is parking always tricky up there donut at holuakoa coffee shack all in all definitely an eatcation eh but a lot of walking and a few gym visits mixed in and worth all the calories next year we re hoping to get off island for our vacation but certainly to a place with lots of good eats side note loco moko one of my hobbies since we moved here is to try every restaurant s loco moko loko moko is a hawaiian dish for ...
