Hangin out in Kona today

$1500 for an oil pump?! Ouch. Is it not accessible to so it yourself?

And just like that. Fountain quit and basically back to a low rumble. In Overlander terminology, the mountain prematurely blew its load before anyone could enjoy the full effect.

Fixed it for you 😘

Quick update. Something shifted or collapsed within the active fissure. The flow heading towards the saddle road is no longer being supplied by fresh lava. The vent has also changed from being a relatively low rumbling fountain to a massive fountain. No word yet on where it will be heading yet...

Friend found this on marketplace. Looks like whoever ended up buying my JKU didn’t like it enough to wanna keep it… but they’ll mark up the shit out of it.

Makes sense. I’ll give it a shot on the next project.

Any tips or “rule-of-thumb” for drawer and face sizing? Every time I try to make it, they come out uneven.

Hard to visualize this if you’ve never been here.. but here’s todays update with a map of previous flows.

Definitely safe. Probably 20 miles away as the crow flies. Hilo would be in trouble before me. If Hilo goes, the whole island is gonna be in a pickle though.

They’re saying it could within the next couple of days if it keeps going at its current pace and direction. I think it’s less that 4-5 miles from the road as of yesterday. Looks like it’ll cross at or very close to Mauna Kea access road.

Could barely smell it. Was breathing just fine. Nothing outta the ordinary. Tradewinds coming back today.

Had to get up there and take some pictures before the close the road. Most of the pictures are shitty. Almost all of them have some other random people in it. There are what seems like thousands of people up there… and a whole lotta cops chasing people away. Our shitty county decided to not...

Yeah never made that mistake again. Glad it didn’t take a bite for me to learn that lesson. Would’ve never seen it coming.

Wild. Back in the day, my friend and I were spear fishing off the Kona coast. I looked ahead of me where he was, didn’t see him. Popped my head outta the water and he was 15 feet up a cliff and pointing behind me. I turned around and there was a maybe 8’ tiger showing his broadside and maybe...

Nothing scarier than a tiger shark in your face with your bag of fish tied to your surf shorts.

Not yet. Hope I never do. That shit is terrible for anything and everything.

From my moms house in Hilo this morning.

Where is this at? Looks like a good one. Sadly becoming harder to find nowadays.
