random pics that YOU have taken.......

Got to finally see Jake Shimabukuro live in concert last night. The Greatest Day tour was an amazing performance!! It is absolutely mind blowing the sound he can get from that ukulele, especially paired with a bass and an electric guitar. Played some of the greats such as Hendrix, his song he wrote for the movie “Go for Broke”, a documentary on the 442nd in WWII, others and finished out the night with Bohemian Rhapsody with audience participation with the lyrics.


He is as genuine in person as he comes across is his videos and social media sites. For those that don’t know his music.

Sound better with headphones unless you have good computer speakers.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Never trust those kiosks that allow you to pay at your table. We always tip above the 15%. All I ask is allow me to determine the amount......

Our bills 15%


Their calculation....

Are you calculating your tip on the pre-tax amount? If the food tax rate is 7.5%, they are calculating it on the total tab after tax. ($37.98 @ 15% = $5.697, $37.98 * 1.075 = $40.83, $40.83 @ 15% = $6.13)

As always, our calculations are done “after”, to include the final amount including tax.

It was just an observation regarding the mathematical algorithm. Most folks would just scroll to the percentage. It just caught my attention, that is all.

Early 90's 4x4 fun. I drove out on the ice just a little too far. Back wheels are still on the river bank. Ice shelf is just above tire center. I had to chop it out all the way back to the bank.
