HWC Carrier Transport

When I came back from the Big Island I brought back 2 carriers for Hawai'i Wildlife Center. Heidi had asked me if I could also pick up some carriers from the Zoo to take back to Feather & Fur. Today I picked them up from Emma; I packed a dozen carriers from the Zoo plus the 2 from HWC into my little Crosstrek! It was pretty full!

There was also a little stowaway in the carriers; a Common House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus). It popped out as I was on the way to Feather & Fur. Fortunately, I'm okay with reptiles running through the car and across my legs.

It popped out of a carrier while I was on the freeway in town.

It ran across my legs to the other side of the car.

After I arrived at Feather & Fur it leaped on to the window.

And ran away some where.

When I woke up early this morning I had an earache. I decided to skip the walk to reserve my energy to help my body heal from whatever was causing my earache and went back to sleep. I am glad it was gone when I woke up later in the morning.

I met Casey at Foodland Ala Moana to help him with one of the new cases he was assigned the other day. I am continuing to help with Case C; calling them tonight and getting their grocery list for tomorrow.

The weather as I was driving over the pali today was sunny & beautiful!

After I dropped off the carriers I called Tricia to see if she had sent out the masks for me; I was close enough to come and pick them up and save her some postage. I met her at her house and also picked up a couple of masks for Kai; he had asked me if I could get a couple for him when I talked to him the other night.

Some of the masks made by Tricia.

These are the masks I got for Kai.

The upper 2 are masks I got for myself; the bottom one is a gift from Tricia.

 I made my reservation to Hawai'i Island for Obon; because of COVID-19 there is a private invitation-only Hatsubon for the families of church members who passed this year. Uncle Kazu is one of them. I also looked at the travel form; there is both an online fillable form as well as a pdf form. After you submit the completed online fillable form, a QR code is emailed to you; it will be scanned at the airport. If you fill out the pdf form you have to take it to the airport with you.

There is a weak area of low pressure forming southeast of us. It is predicted to have about a 20% chance of forming in to a tropical depression over the next 5 days. I will check on it as long as it shows up on this Five-Day Graphical outlook.


There were 25 new COVID-19 cases reported today bringing the total known cases up to 1023; all of them were on Oʻahu. There were no new deaths or hospitalizations today.

The number of tests has been increasing.
