Aloha from Kona

Hi, this is my first blog. My name is Peter and I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's a very hot, muggy nite this evening and I just got back from a trip up to Mauna Kea today. It's a 14,000 ft volcano on our island which has about 8-10 observatories on it. I took a friend from our condo complex with me and we wanted to drive all the way to the top except that the transmission on my Rodeo started acting up and we could not make it. I guess that I will have to get some major work done on it soon or just change the transmission fluid to see if that will fix the car. Pretty mundane stuff.
I'll post more tomorrow about discussions with my travelling companion, Ken.
