A Visit to Kapolei

One of my good days, I was able to do much. Finished all my laundry work from yesterday and I was just a little late starting to get ready for the trip to Kapolei. Took the bike and got the first bus going which happened to be the #40 and left me off right in front of Safeway. The Rail debris and dirtiness was not so bad.

"Failure changes us for the better, success for the worse."

Got my goodies, but had to take the big size Large Curd cottage cheese. They had run out of the small ones. I decide to skip Walmart (my handle bars were getting loose.) so I instead ran down Fort Barrett Rd. which is the shortest way to Kapolei Elementary. And a good crowd already there.

At Kapolei I got my handlebars tighten by Martin and many mahalos for that. Then I got a few photos of the class.

Another mistake, the opening of the lens is not quite right on the camera and I must push it open. The finger pushing it open cleans the middle of the lens but the sides remain fuzzy. Now I know, I must clean the entire lens. Fortunately for everyone, Romeo has his Rumba music that sounds like Da Reel Teeng. Together with a nice developing routine, it is just beautiful.

At intermission I was able to get a good group.

Bob, Alena, Rusty, Flory, Matsuko and Roy.

They are on schedule so I may have to plan a little better for next time. To get pics with five, six people in a couple photos.

Intermission is always a nice group picture, and we got the bad news from our president Martin. Kapolei having the same trouble as other dance clubs, with schools. Funding has been cut back because of the rail. So the schools have to make somebody pay. Meanwhile, I will see many on Saturday at the Palladium and I may get a lot more photos.

Left a little after eight and the #40 arrived with one bike on a two bike rack. And there was another guy waiting with his bike. So I waited a few more minutes and got the C bus going home, the effect of the rail chaos was minimal and got there before nine, not bad.
