WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY - WAYDT (PICS)

[RoxRocks86]

Not today, but this past weekend and yesterday.

Got invited to a little weekend getaway to Kona, HI. I despise traveling during summer unless it’s work related bc I hate the heat and crowds in tourist areas, lol. Had an amazing time nonetheless.

Sunsets on that side are always amazing most likely due to particles in the sky from volcanic activity.

Tuesday there was word that Kilauea was going to erupt 7/15, so made last minute changes to extend the stay and do a little (4ish hour round trip drive) to catch Episode 51 of this active volcano. I find it funny bc I was on a work project an hr away last summer during the most active and explosive eruptions but always missed multiple opportunity (by an hour or so) to see it pop off.

Super happy to finally see Kilauea erupt in the flesh

@RoxRocks86 That last pic is super cool, I would love to see something like that in person!

[RoxRocks86]

@Jord It was an absolute treat!!

I have 2 back-to-back projects starting soon either late Aug or mid Sept. on Hawaii Island. I’ll most likely be going back and forth for a year from Oahu to Hawaii Island. Planning to ship my truck out & bring an actual zoom lens to venture out and enjoy more of this natural beauty since it’ll be paid for

It would seem the smoke has made its way to Baltimore as well. America is literal dumpster fire.

Picked up my Bonneville TT Special at Don Clancy’s moto spa today and rode it home. First time it’s been on the road in 4 years. Sweetness.

[RoxRocks86]

@Matt damn! That sucks. It was actually cold up in the summit, but you could feel the heat from the volcanic activity.

[Matt]

That sounds nice. I’ve never seen an active volcano but I’m sure if we wait long enough one will just pop up off the Jersey Shore. Seems that’s how things are going.

I miss living in a higher elevation. Cool summers are pretty amazing.

@steelworker That’s how it looked here as well. That smoke is pretty rough with nose and eye irritation…

Edit: that corn is growing nicely though

Really hazy in New Jersey. Kid/cashier at the supermarket said it smells like Maple syrup because it’s from Canada.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

Still smokey in Connecticut too, 3 days now

[goosehd]

Smoke from the fires and where it reaches. The darker the grey indicates higher concentration:

@Matt Smoke not from Hawaii from Canada.

@steelworker Yea it's getting bad outside now. Climate change.

[catdad1]

Good bit down here in Richmond today. The haze is like out of a movie. Smells like a fire too.

[Matt]

Correct. If smoke from Hawaii was making its way here that would be something.
