1. Wireless access is at  HFA-Guest  /  <password listed on the fridge>  .. no the password is not “password listed on the fridge” .. don’t bitch about the password, it’s free WiFi bro!
2. Don’t adjust the temperature!  If you’re cold, put on a sweater, toque (beanie if you’re south of the 49th parallel).  If you’re hot, have a drink with ice, and if that doesn’t help, then piss off.
3. Austin tunes over-ride. Period. Don’t care you want to listen to some wimpy East Coast, West Coast, Popular rock or Northerner crap.
4. If there is a NFL game on, then the game is ON .. don’t expect much else.
5. Don’t suck up *all* the bandwidth in pr0n, dude. Really? I know it’s you. Remember what I do for a living?? Yes there are “proxies” on friend’s free Internet connections. Duh.
6. GPS (aka TomTom or Garvin) HIGHLY recommended for out-of-town-ers.
7. GPS (aka TomTom or Garvin) HIGHLY recommended for in-towners.
8. Be energy conscious. Rinse your damn dishes (don’t be lazy) – that’s what the drying rack is for. Duh.
9. You consume the last bottle of _______, REPLACE it. Damn, there is a Tarjay (Target for our American friends), or H-E-B, or Randall’s within walking distance!
10. Do NOT put your drinks on my Red’s Porch tab. Food is negotiable.
11. You MUST have a valid reason to go to another joint than Red’s
12. Yes, it IS a shower curtain rod like Marriott’s.  No, I didn’t steal it. Nice, eh? That’s another 5.5″ of room in the shower!!
13. No you don’t have to come run with me in the morning at 5am.  Nor do I .. but sometimes I’d appreciate the encouragement out of bed.
14. Recycling bin is in the pantry.  Just cuz y’all are too lazy to actually walk outside and dump your junk in the recycle bucket out back. Just sayin’. By the way .. organics hit the bucket at the BACK .. if you give a cr@p about that stuff.
15. Yes, I do offer a taxi service at 5am to the AUS airport.  It’s $50,000 per one way.  Your choice, but it’s COB bud.
16. Don’t touch the Henkle knife (knives) .. I have to sacrifice  goat entrails to keep it sharp.  Pretty sure you don’t want any part of that. Just sayin’. You get the steak knives.
17. NEVER turn off the Cranberries. EVER. See rule #3.
18. Whoever gets to the music remote wins. Except when Rule #3 applies. That means Al wins. All the time. Damn dude don’t cry.

Ok, you get the point. Be responsible. Recycle. Use less energy. Don’t be lazy. Book your stay. (It’s only uncomfortable for those of you who don’t and wind up sleeping in the same guest bed .. y’all are NOT sleeping with me).

Oh .. ya, I’m sure you’ll have fun here .. no problems, mate. Yes the lights in the back yard are a secret. DON’T tell Amanda.

Kihei Boat Launch

Al, Seth, Dani and Andy

Two quiet days in October and the weather was fantastic. Day one I got to dive with AJ and Warren, while the second day I dove with Seth. The fact that every single time I head out with these guys, they have outstanding customer service and attitude .. and that’s not just the awesome sticky buns they consistently provide.

Day one was a great day in the Molokini crater where we saw lots of coral creatures including an extremely large lobster. The second dive at Puu O’Lai had great visibility and lots of turtles and several amazing (apparently rare) fly-bys of four Spotted Eagle Rays.

Day two we hit the back wall of the Molokini Crater with the (literally) breath-taking 350′ expanse of coral and creatures. Dive two on the second day was at Wailea Point with more very friendly turtles.

Thanks again guys – hopefully we’ll see you in another year.

We scoped out the Molokini reef three times and also did the Tank to the Landing craft drift dive. Saw a number of firsts for me on Thursday, including a small octopus, frogfish, flounder and nudibranch.

Other finds included a sponge starfish, a wire coral and a spiny urchin.

Thanks very much for another great diving trip to Maui guys! The Severns crew including AJ, Michelle, Andy and Warren were as usual, spectacular dive masters – knew where to look for the interesting bits and were really down to earth. Their dive boat can take out up to 12 divers, so it's a smaller group allowing more interaction with the crew, compared to the larger 20+ diver boats.

See you in another year!
