Not a ton of photos from this weekend, but…
Friday night we attempted to play bike polo as usual but we had some pretty gnarly rain, so it mostly turned into just enjoying some beers out by the court (Modern Times Simcoe for me). Pardon the blurry pic...
Phone battery was dead so no pictures, but I volunteered on the bike course at the Iron Man World Championship Saturday morning. Over 2,000 competitors raced. It was truly a sight to behold. One of the professional athletes finished in under 8 hours setting a new record…
After the race a bunch of friends and I made brunch at a friends place. Can't really see the spread, but we made a ton of crepes with all kinds of fillings and had plenty of mimosa supplies...
I'm currently enjoying a lazy Sunday morning listening to music, drinking some tea, messing around on the internet and working on the Sunday crossword.
Today's tea is one of my favorites. It's a creamy earl grey from a tea maker back in Michigan consisting of black tea, blue cornflower, lavender, vanilla, calendula and bergamot…
So far the playlist this morning consists of…
Ogikubo Station - We Can Pretend Like
Super Unison - Super Unison
Stereo Lab - Dots and Loops
Gouge Away - , Dies
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Suzanne Ciani - FRKWYS Vol. 13: Sunergy

Went camping this weekend with a group of friends a good ways up Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano (13,875 ft) in Hawaii.
Grabbed a quick fit before we got to rambling up the trail…
The beginnings of the road up to the cabin…
Our cabin…
A hint of sunset poking through the clouds…
One of the nearby hiking trails…
Some old water tanks we passed on the way back down this morning…

Great spot! Is that place full of Kokee frogs singing at night?

Such a great spot! My friends found it a few years ago and go there the same weekend every year…
No frogs up there. I'm assuming the altitude was high enough and it was cold enough that they don't like it that far up the mountain...
The Kokees are constantly singing right out my window though...

Welp, this tour came during another big transition for me. Decided the brewery I was with wasn't the right fit and the job wasn't quite what I was looking for. Yesterday was my last day on the Island and I'm officially back in Michigan for a bit. If things continue on their current path it's looking like I'll be moving out to the east coast in about a months time…
As a going away present one of my friends hooked me up with a helicopter tour of the island. First time in a helicopter, and getting to take the whole island in from above was pretty amazing. Once I sort through and edit my photos I'll get them posted up here. In the meantime, here is a quick fit with the ride...

It was a definitely a big decision, but I knew moving out there was a role of the dice to begin with. While I'm bummed to be leaving such a wonderful place with such great people so soon, I learned a lot about myself and what I'm looking for in the process. Couldn't be happier about where I am personally right now…
I'll definitely be landing on my feet somewhere. I'm just trying to take my time and be more deliberate in my search this time around. With the way things are going it's looking like I'll be working with sours and barrel aged beers again sooner than later....
Managed to sort through the pictures I took. Pardon the glare on the window. Tried to avoid it as much as possible...
Sunrise from the airport...
Getting ready for the flight. I got to ride co-pilot…
That's Mauna Kea off in the distance. You can just barely make out the telescopes at the peak…
This is an old grown over volcanic crater…
This is the main crater in Volcano National Park. With the recent eruption it greatly increased in size…
One of the more active sites on the volcano currently…
This is Fissure 8, the epicenter of the recent destruction. It popped up right in the middle of a neighborhood, displace many people from their homes. Thankfully, there were no deaths and only one serious injury…
The geothermal plant managed to avoid too most of the lava flow somehow…
The lava added 700+ acres of land to the coast of the island…
Approaching the lush valleys and many waterfalls on the northern coast of the island. Parts of Jurrasic Park were shot in this area…
All in all, the flight was a totally rad experience…

Incredible pictures! Make me want to take a family vacation there more than ever.
Best of luck with your next adventure(s)!
