Was able to catch and work WH7QR on the ISS! That was worth getting up for. Now back to bed. #hamtweet #
OK, up for real this time. Getting some gusts and now some rain. Better get going. Who knows how traffic will be today. #
The worst of the wind may be over, but one thing never changes. ALWAYS best to be prepared, no matter what. Expect the worst, hope for best. #
Just missed the rain…again. #
Worked the ISS repeater again tonight and made 3 contacts…one made his first ever contact with me. I’m honored. #

Two technological milestones today in Hawaii: (1) the digital TV switch, and (2) HMSA’s Online Care goes live. #
Wind starting to pick up, overcast, no rain yet here at Ala Moana. #
NOW the rain is starting on Keeaumoku. Fortunately, I made it back to the building in time. Whew… #
Hoping things will still be in the patio when I get home. Windward side is going to get the brunt of the winds coming down the mountain. #
National Weather Service issues high wind warning to 6pm Friday for Kauai, Niihau, and Oahu. Gusts to 50-60 mph expected. http://is.gd/g44i #
Wind gust really picked up, power briefly blinked off in Enchanted Lake. Now silent. Scary. #
OK, backup battery for radio charged and ready. Phone almost fully charged. Lanterns tested and ready. Bring it. #makani #
Power flickered again in Enchanted Lake. Gonna be an interesting night… #makani #
How’s the power situation elsewhere on the island? Power flickered yet again and stayed down longer… #makani #
Winds going in cycles of calm to gusty. Still have power in Kailua. My personal battery, though, needs recharging. To bed. G’nite. #hiwinds #

Gee, it seems like every day on HPR has a story on HMSA’s Online Care. (Not that I’m complaining.) #
Constant activity at work from the time I got in to now. Taking some time to decompress. #
Ay! Memory fail! I forgot I parked on the street…in a metered stall. By some miracle I didn’t get a ticket. Praise God! #
Just finished a quick 2-miler at Kapiolani Park. I think I saw someone fitting @joan9’s description, but I’m not sure. #

Day’s not over yet…plans to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button this evening too. #
