There's red dirt everywhere.

All of us got tired of digging.  Grasshopper and "boy" decided to bail.  They went hiking on the Na Pali Coast.  It'll be a good one.  Some rough terrain and wet for sure.  They'll only be gone a couple 3 days but the 'Schlep-per' (AKA:'boy') looked pretty weighted down.  Not sure what they were packin' but I heard a lot of "what ever you want "sweekums" during the prep phase.  Without doubt, he'll be useless the rest of the week.  An intervention might be in order when he returns.   I think he's addicted to the "heavy breather".

Fortunately, Waldo's coming to town.  He grew up with both of them. His presence will be beneficial during 'detox'.  Hopefully, he'll be able to pick up 'Blake's"job site responsibilities as well.  But then again,Waldo's had his own problems lately.  The report on Ryan from his probation officer was disturbing.  He  warned me not to expect too much right off the bat.  Waldo's a college grad who had a great career in the hospitality industry in San Francisco.  He was the most respected restaurateur (House of Prime Rib) of every meat eatin' drunk on Van Ness.  He gave it all up to join a boy band.  Don't get me wrong, most of us real men from the 60's fantasised about being in a boy band.  But there weren't  any venues with that kind of music back then.  All that rock and roll shit was happening.   Bummer!  Anyways,  Ryan befriended the elderly 50+ something cougars and married a few of them for their money.  He got busted for being a polygamist.  He still wears an ankle bracelet.  It's all about life choices. Naturally, an ex-addict will be an asset during the reeducation  of "boy".

It looks as though the building of the Kilauea Round House might be on hold.
