They get paid per bag picked, so it is only right that I make it as easy as I can for them.

In a quirk of fate, I found myself with some extra Full City Plus (Dark Roast). That means it is DISCOUNT TIME over at my ItsKona.Com website. If you ever wanted to try it, now is a great time

I keep thinking that I should start selling in stores. Ther are a couple here that do not requite a UPC code, and since I may have a few extra bags of coffee available…

Did you see my photo of me up on Mauna Kea in the snow? If you missed the slideshow, it is at http://snow.itskona.com

Today was a hectec day. I blew the leaves off part of the property and then headed north. After a stop at the post office, where I received a nice check, I heade to the hotel to say “hi” to some frineds and drop off two avocados. I ran by the printer to pick up my new “Blue Ribbon Award” stickers for my coffee bags. Then to COSTCO for gas and lunch. I also bought a pair of shorts that was on sale. Heading back south, I went to Radio Shack for a small equipment fan, the ATM for some cash to pay the pickers, then to Wal-Mart for an extension cord and some screws. Then next door to Safeway for water and soda. I was going to buy some beets (I like beets is why), but the price was a bit too high for me. I stopped across the street from Safeway and Wal-Mart at the Lowes to look at refrigerators and buy a piece of wood for a project. Then heading towards home it was a quick stop by Subway. I chatted with the girls there for a few minutes. Then a quick stop by Ace Hardware for a couple things and next door to Choice Mart for some frozen dinenrs. Finally I arrived back at the house and made a couple phone calls and finally had 1/2 the sub for dinner. The only reason I mention all this is because SOME PEOPLE think all I do is sit around the house. While that is true most days, I HAVE to at least LOOK like it is not true

Well, as I said, tomorrow is mac nut picking day. I need to sign off and get some sleep as the morning will come quick enough and I have to stop by the Post Office before 11am to drop off some coffee shipments.
