Re: Best Part of Today

Arriving safely back in Honolulu after spending a week on the Big Island.

Is that as in "There's no place like home"?
Or as in "Thank goodness I'm outta there!"

Hey Beau, who was that guy? Not Coach Rusty? What courts got the new nets?

No, it's Don Andrews. The courts that got the new nets are 5,4,3, and 2.

I was chowing down on Homemade Corn Beef Hash, Wet Pipikaula, Sunny side eggs and rice.

The door bell rang.

Upon opening the door, I see a woman crying.

"Can you help me?" She asked.

Her name is Carmen. She is a fellow resident of MWH. She's been having hot wata problems for three years!!

She told me what she's been doing and whom she called. She said a man at Hawaii Housing Authority Office spoke to her. He rudely told her he didn't care who made the complaint!!

I got ready and drove us to School Street to the main office. Upon our return back to MWH, several maintenance workers were up on the roof working on the problem.

The Best Part of Today is making Carmen Happy with Hot Wata!

F H D

Re: Best Part of Today

More than one today...

1. my Holistica brain scan showed more than air between the ears!
2. my cab ride from Waikiki to my mechanic in Kalihi was delightful. Driver told me great stories about driving Ozzie and Sharon Osborne around Oahu.
3. my mechanic didn't charge me for new, albeit used, rims that had to replace my very cool, AMG rims 'cuz of our 3rd world roads! Had to pay for all new tires, o'course, and the cool factor is gone, but...
4. the lagoon is now open at the HHV complete with a boardwalk path...delightful!

Re: Best Part of Today

I have had no oven since before Christmas.........I had to make our roast in the grill which was great but not what I had hoped for. I have spent at this moment 55 minutes with Sears on their 800 lines transferred 3 times and finally sent to Customer Relations. The repair person wrote the wrong model number which made my part order not placed. No one had called in regards to this and my "window" of time for repair of said oven was today 1-5. Naturally I was concerned and am waiting to hear from Mike in the relations department to see when this part will come. I shall demand air freight expedition and the best part of my day will be when this is resolved!!!!!!

They were able to re-order the part and without my raving they ended up saying it would be sent air freight and if all goes well I'll have an oven on Friday afternoon! This is now the best part of my day - and the day is young plenty of time for something else "best" to happen.

Re: Best Part of Today

I spent hours learning and trying to get my wife's working place (PATCH HILO) computer network system up and running last night. I finally got it running (all four computers could "see" each other" and I had to wait for Hawaiian Telecom to tie in the DSL.

Well after an hour today of trying to get the office network online I called Speedtek in Honolulu for some advice. As it seems Hawaiian Telecom gave my wife a static IP/Gateway/Subnet Mask addresses whereas the office router was set up for DHCP.

So I found the router's IP address and reconfigured it with the information Hawaiian Telecom provided, rebooted the router and waited for the router's "Internet" light to stop flashing and go steady. And it did!

So it's 7pm and I'm the only one in the office jabbing away on HT on their configured network.

Now all the computers can see each other and all can access the internet and all can print to each other's printer or the network printer in the front office.

Geez fixing computers is one thing, networking them is another pain in the butt. BUT when it all works that's such a sweet feeling

Thanks Speedtek, your guidance was invaluable.

Re: Best Part of Today

I received a $25. iTunes Music Store card at a gift exchange. Today I redeemed it for a credit to my account. Redemption done, I put the physical card thru the shredder. A few minutes later I get an error message from the IMS...an error occurred, try again later! WTF?

I pick thru the shredder and pull out every, little piece I could find and put it back together as best I could like a 1000 piece puzzle. I reconstruct what I think is the code. A couple of hours later, while holding my breath, I hele on in to the IMS once again. I plug in the resurrected code and learn that it's already been redeemed.

I looked at my credit balance and...it was there! Somehow it did go thru in spite of the error message! Yippee!

Re: Best Part of Today

The best part of today was finding some good books for me and some great aloha shirts for my husband at the Goodwill store in Wahiawa. Gosh I like that store! And the red tags were "hifty percent" off!! The not so best part was hearing that, again, there is no work for me from my nursing agency.
