BOB
AND CAMILLE AT HOME ON MAUI
BLUE COLLAR MAN
Bob straddles a stack of
cardboard in the Flat Bed. This was taken on the north shore by Shaun
on a typically beautiful day.
WHALE DAY
This man is shading the little
solar panel to hear the radio stop playing while Shaun and Camille wait for
interested passers by to come into our Eco Nazi lair on February 16.
WEDNESDAY DRIVE
Ulupalakua is one of our
favorite places on Maui. We had business on this side early Wednesday
morning so Bob took me for a drive to show me where he has been picking up
recycling. He has taken over Rhad’s route in the Flat Bed truck and
has to drive to beautiful remote spots like this. All we need is
someone to rent us an acre up here and we’ll be pitching a Yurt.
A YURT – Inexpensive, Portable
and Pretty
For $10,000 we could have a
700 square foot home like this. We are currently paying $12,000 a year
in rent. If we paid half that to rent an acre, we could pay off a nice
little Yurt in less than two years. The best thing about
Yurts is that they are portable. You can take them down and pack them
into a truck! This Yurt has just been put up about a mile above us on
Pi’iholo Road.
THE PIT OF DESPAIR
We’ve taken on this project
for Carole and Bob Crist in Pukalani. They call it their
“Pit of Despair.”
After less than three hours
with our machetes and a shovel, Carole, Bob and Camille made some good
headway in the pit on February 12th. We’ll be back on the 19th for
some more fun. Bob Crist has cleared this hillside of weeds several
times but they always come back. On this day, the soil was so moist
from all the rain we’ve had that we soon threw down our blades and began
simply tearing out the weeds by their roots. The place where Bob and
Carole stand will soon become a garden.

job at Maui Recycling Service back after being let go from the Kula Ace.
CHRISTMAS PUZZLE
This kept us busy for a
month. We started it on January 10th and finished it on February
9th. The photo was taken by world famous horse photographer, Robert
Vavra.
MORE ADVENTURES
I was lucky enough to go horse
shopping at Adventures on Horseback with Cynthia and Desiree on February
4th. Here are those ducks I mentioned in January. Diana, the
ranch manager, holds Mr. Dee with the ocean in the background. Cynthia
may be moving him to her barn to use as a school horse.
