Friday – August 7: More tweaks on school stuff. I broke out the one classroom page for periods 3, 4, 6 and 7 into 2. One for Algebra (period 6) and one for Algebra 1a (periods 3, 4 and 7). I have period 1 ELL, so I’m not sure, what I’ll do with that page for the website.

Late morning, we headed to Kona to do some errands and to return the Vizio soundbar system. It is so gratifying that Costco doesn’t blink an eye when returning things. The guy behind me, was returning a bottle of red wine, with the cork put back in. I can only imagine the story …

I had purchasd a raised togographical map of the Big Island at the bookstore in old Hilo. I went to get it framed and the frame shop in Kona, took my new map, gave me credit for it and I picked one of their’s already framed. How’s that for a deal!? Pictures Plus is OK in my book!

We continue to watch Felicia approach. Late today, some of the east side beaches were announced via the Civil Defense annoucement to be closed beginning at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday until early Wednesday morning. Fifteen foot surf is being forecast for east facing beaches!

At our weekly Friday happy hour by the pool, it is clear that no one has been in a hurricane before. The prognosis, however, is that the hurricane should be downgraded to a tropical storm or depression by Monday evening. Time will tell.

Thursday – August 6: Work day for me. I laid out the schedule for this new school year. I have to keep track of 2 schedules, for both Algebra 1 and 1a.

My perssonal website was brought up to date and I had to learn the changes to the schoolfusion school website. My password expired, so Ryan had to reset it for me. Most of the afternoon was spent getting my schedules, homework and first day of school packets updated and uploaded.

We keep watching the path of hurricane Felicia … BBQ fish for dinner, ahi and swordfish. The market down at Queen’s has better fish at better prices.
