The Mokes

Great little adventure with a great group of friend to Nā Mokulua (meaning, in Hawaiian, "the two islands") are two islets off the windward coast of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. They are also commonly known as "The Moks" (rhymes with "smokes") or the "Twin Islands"

New Year's Eve 2016

Our neighborhood on New Year's Eve felt like the 4th of July. The cops showed up one time took some tubes and that was really about it. Happy New Year Everyone.

Peacock Flats

Peacock Flats is accessible only to four-wheel drive vehicles. It is popular with many of the off-roading clubs on the island and offers both easy and challenging trails over rocks and steep, deeply rutted trails. The condition of the trails varies greatly with the weather. When wet, the trails are slippery, very treacherous, and almost impassable, however, when dry they can be almost tame. Some trails, such as Jeep Eater, Fender Biter, and Initiator, have been known to cause severe damage and/or rollovers, so drivers should be sure of being equipped to make field repairs. Very few vehicles come out of Peacock Flats without some sort of damage, so mental preparation is critical. Peacock Flats offers breathtaking views of Oahu's North Shore, beautiful landscapes, and a new respect for the ruggedness of the Hawaiian mountains. At the top of the main trail is a camping area (visitors intending to camp must notate that on their permit) supplied with picnic tables and an outhouse. Please note that hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders share these trails. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peacock_Flats

Hike It

Colton's fist hike in Hawaii is the Lanikai ‘Pillboxes. The short, steep hike to the “pillboxes” offers breathtaking views of the Mokulua Islands and Koolua Mountains. Both the Lanikai and Diamond Head pillboxes were part of the island’s defensive system. They reportedly were observation posts built between World Wars I and II, which could alert shore artillery batteries to any approaching enemy ships. Eventually, they were stripped out and left abandoned by the military.

Sunset Beach

My son and I spent the day at Sunset beach, on the North Shore of Hawaii. We had a little fun just riding the waves and looking for sea glass. GoPro 4 was used for this and edited with Adobe Premier Pro.

Sew Creative

I got the opportunity to do my final project in class on Laura DiMestico. Laura is an extremely creative woman. The best part in her talent is that she has never had any training and she doesn't use patterns. Laura has a passion and raw talent that most could only dream about. Please check out her work and let me know what you think..... I hope that she will take her talent further and make a career out of this. I'm pretty sure I will be hitting her up in the future for some costumes. thank you, Laura, for letting me do this project on you and also for letting me get to know you. you truly are talented!

A whole new world

Meet B.O.B. (bag of bones) from Africa the kitten I almost got kicked out the Navy for. B.O.B. was the runt of a litter and was a slower learner and could not even jump. I raised her from right after birth and for the last few months. B.O.B. was only used to dirt, rock, and sand when I brought her into Germany. This video is B.O.B. touching grass and leaves, feeling the cold breeze of air which was unlike any Djibouti, Africa heat she had been used too. I choose this song for a spoof type of video that may actually pull at your heartstrings music: Whole new world cover on soundcloud.com

Fisher House Remembrance Run 2015

I attended the Fisher House Remembrance Run on Ford Island, HI., for the first time. I went there for myself, I wanted to see the boots for all of my fallen friends. I knew going to the event there was over 7,000 boots going to be lined up, however I never expected the effect the event had on me. I learned what the Fisher House does and how they support the military and families. I plan to volunteer for the future remembrance runs and hope this video will help spread the word about this event and just one of the things the Fisher House provide.

Seriously the best thing I've seen today

My little happiness out here... They seriously brighten my day. Too bad mama girl put her way underneath a container that I can't touch them.

At breakfast this morning I hear all these birds ... Nope they were bats! Large whitish color bats.
