Uhu!

Right now I am waiting for my uhu (parrotfish) to finish baking. It was caught by Sterling and Kyle on a night dive that I helped lead at Koloa Landing tonight for the scuba intructor program. The uhu is a very colorful fish that I hear tastes really good. I followed Sterling's directions on how to prepare it and cook it. I post an update on how it turned out. I am getting real close to attaining my divemaster certification!! I have physics and physiology tests on Tuesday and will be applying for the certification shortly thereafter. This weekend is very busy. I am working 7-1 and then diving until about 8:30 PM today, Saturday, and Sunday. Its fun though. As I said, I got to help lead the night dive tonight and earlier today help out with lift bags. Tomorrow we get to go over navigation, underwater naturalist, and do another night dive.

Koloa Landing

I worked this morning and then took two tanks to Koloa Landing and did a couple of dives with my camera. I got some good stuff! I saw a spotted eagle ray, a dragon moray eel, a titan scorpion fish, and more! I am so glad I brought my camera along and so should you. For your viewing pleasure:

Happy New Year!

A lot has happened over the holiday season. Some good. Some bad. The biggest hit was as soon as I came home, I met up with my girlfriend, Anne, who decided to break up with me less than 24 hours after seeing her. It sucked for a number of reasons, the biggest two were that I was looking forward to spending a lot of time with her as I was going to be home for a couple of weeks, I was going to visit her family in Michigan, and she had a plane ticket to come visit me in HI for two weeks. So none of that stuff happened and then after she broke up with me, it put me in a crappy mood the entire holiday season. So now I am single and that is ok. It gives me more of an opportunity to have fun out here. On the good side, I got to see my friends and family who I have not seen in over six months. I also found out that I was enrolled in the scuba diving program offered by Kauai Community College to get my Instructors Certification free of charge! Along with the free class, I am going to be receiving a free new wetsuit and BC courtesy of Marvin. Thank you! I am also placing an order for a new regulator setup. I am very excited about the new stuff!!! It will be such an upgrade to what I currently have and it wont cost me much either.

November

This past week I have worked a lot! I have been helping Marvin install new flooring in the shop and setting up new computers. The days have been long but the paycheck will be nice.

Today is my day off and I am taking it easy. It feels as though I am still recuperating from working 12 hour days with little rest.

I bought a Jeep a few weeks ago and am still figuring out what I need/should do with it. It didn't want to start the past few days but just yesterday it started up no problem. Not sure what is going on with it. Right now, I am thinking about going ahead and registering it and driving it around. We'll see...

I made up my mind and decided to move into Trevor's room. It is no master bedroom but it is considerably cheaper and I will still have Bri and Katie as roommates. I think it is a good decision. I didnt really want the master in the first place.

Recap

Wow. I has been almost a month since my last posting and a lot has changed. The biggest thing to happen to me is me moving in with Brianna, Trevor, and Katie in Kalaheo. Such a huge improvement! I have the master bedroom and bath and my roommates are awesome!

Anne came and visited me for about a week. I got to show here around the island and she got to see exactly what I do on a daily basis. She is now back home with temptations of coming back...

My internet at the new place is not very dependable and that has been the main reason for not posting in such a while. Currently I have a very strong signal which is very rare.
