Recently we have had tremendous rains here in Kona and across the other islands. The farm who roasts my coffee has had it very bad. The road in front of them was covered when rocks and mud flowed across the street and closed it. That is the main (and only) road from the town of Kona to the south. Luckily, the road department was able to open it quickly. SInce many of the resorts have staff who live t othe south of Kona, many of them were late to work that day.

Speaking of coffee, I just had 30 pounds of it roasted in a Full City Plus. Seems many people like that roast level. I particularly like it a bit weaker, but then again, it is the customer who determines what roast I supply. Unlike Henry Ford. When he came up with his first car, it was black in color. When asked if a customer could get it in any other color, he replied “An American can have their Model T in any color as long as it’s Black”.

When I would call a friend in Maryland, he would ask, “Well?” meaning, “Well, did you EVER get that darn coffee website up and running?” The answer is YES, yes I did. I opened it quietly and within a day, received my first order. Seems I had friends constantly checking the site; waiting to buy coffee. THANKS!

Although the site http://ItsKona.Com still is not perfect, it works and you are welcome to take a look. I sell 100% Kona Coffee, both roasted and unroasted. I prefer to sell “whole bean” coffee, which means that YOU grind what you want, when you are ready. That gives you a fresher coffee. To generate a bit of interest, anyone who reads this blog is welcome to get a tBLOG discount, just order 8oz or 16oz bags of roasted coffee and use TBLOG as the checkout discount code. What better way to spend the day then read blogs here and sip great coffee! (So far I am only shipping to the US only).

I made yet another call to the mortgage company the other day, escalating my woes to the next level of management. They are STILL not approving the loan and I am afraid I may have to take action against them. This has drug on for a year and a half so far and I have run out of time to be going to another mortgage company now. If they had not kept promising me all along, I would have changed companies long ago. I am limited in my choices though because the land is leasehold. I COULD pay cash for the property, but then I would have little to no spare cash to eat… so I prefer to get a mortgage!
