Sunday, Feb. 8

Hi everyone. Howzit? Hope everyone had a good weekend. Ours was good here. On Friday night, we hung out with some of my co-workers who were having a barbecue at the brewery. They are a cool bunch of people and we had a good time drinking beer and taking too many shots of sake with them. We spent all day on Saturday at Hapuna Beach. And as you can see from the photo on the left, the waves were really nice. We boogie boarded for hours and got some great sun. We also saw more whales breaching in the open ocean. This time they were way closer and we got an even better view. After we had our fill of waves, we got in the prius and headed to Waimea where we had a late lunch at Tako Taco, a great Mexican place that's owned by the former Brewmaster at Mauai Brewing Company. The food there is really good and was much needed after the beach. We got home around 5 p.m. and took it easy, had a few drinks and went to bed. Today we got up late and went downtown to walk Berkley and pick up a few things from the farmer's market for dinner tomorrow night. One of our brewers is coming in from Oahu tomorrow night and will be staying with us. So, we'll cook some pasta. On Tuesday, a few Brewmasters from Pabst are coming to Hilo to evaluate our brewery so that we can get the OK to start brewing Primo in Hilo. It's going to be a huge week for me that will likely include a few long days. Well, it's dinner time, so that's it from me. Aloha.
