June 28 Morning Walk Log

Steps for this morning.

Another morning at Magic Island got me walking around for a few thousand steps before I headed back to Ala Moana Center and then home.

The weather forecast for Honolulu today: Light to moderate trades will hold in place through Tuesday, with localized land and sea breezes developing in the more sheltered leeward areas. Moisture will move through today and again on Tuesday, bringing a slight increase in showers to both windward and leeward areas. – NOAA Honolulu Twitter post.

So essentially it will be a typical sunny summer day. Have a great week folks!

Can you see the waning gibbous moon?

Walking Early is Great for a Good Sunrise Shot

Posted on June 27, 2021 | Comments Off on Walking Early is Great for a Good Sunrise Shot

Sunrise Morning June 27

Mornings at Honolulu’s Ala Moana Park is very popular for walkers, beachgoers, surfers, swimmers and more. With the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we are more free to walk around without a mask.

On today’s walk, I took for the first time my new Google Pixel 4a smartphone which features a very nice camera for both still photos and video. Plus I installed my Pedometer app that I used for several years with my previous smartphone.

Pedometer app window

It shows how many steps and miles I walked in a specified time.

The Pedometer app works just fine on the new device. It is a good, casual tool that I use to track my walking steps, distance and burned calories. While I am not that diligent with all the measurements the app takes, it does present a good snapshot of my walking activity for the morning or any other part of  the day.

There certainly are better health apps out there, but for me I am content with this simple one. Attached is a screenshot of the Pedometer results window for the morning.

More photos and the video from the walk appear on my Hawaii Files Blog page. https://blog.hawaiifiles.com/?p=3303 #Honolulu, #Hawaii, #sunrise, #Pixel4a

Reboot 2019 | Are You Happy Now?

Posted on January 26, 2019 | Comments Off on Reboot 2019 | Are You Happy Now?

Sunrise 1-26-2019

It’s time to once again RE-BOOT this blog after months of neglect. Heh… I’ve been kind of being a little slack in my life too. Have had to cope with some life changes…. again, though none of them bad. May blog about that at a later time.

Just want to say “Happy New Year” to the few readers who may be monitoring this blog and to anyone who stumbles in. December 30, 2018 marked the third year since my surgery back in 2015. I am still here and happy to be alive.

In an effort to make this blog regular and relevant again I am going to be posting answers to questions from an Android app that I just downloaded yesterday. It is called Questions Diary and every day you are supposed to answer a question about yourself. The answer is saved to your device and at the end of one year, the app is supposed to ask the same questions again…. so let’s start… here is the first question.

Today is Saturday, January 26, 2019,

Are You Happy Now?

Pedometer Image

Some of the recorded walk steps from this morning with the Pedometer app running on my low end Alcatel device. The count is only for the return trip back to my home.

Generally speaking, I am “happy”. Happiness is relative, fleeting at times. One surely can’t be happy all of the time. Life is filled with setbacks. These can happen frequently…. death in the family. loss of a job, financial struggles and more.

Still I try to maintain some level of happiness by being with or talking to friends and relatives. Engaging in hobbies or taking short trips makes me happy. I am most happy when I am out observing my world and documenting it through photography and video.

Distracting myself is a way for me to maintain some level of happiness.

With this first post, this hopefully is the start of something new and consistent. Otherwise here are a couple of other pictures:
