RIBEYE DINNER AND A FIRE NEXT DOOR

DINNER AT HOME

Enjoyed a delicious Ribeye dinner at home and later in the evening our dog was barking like crazy from an upstairs window that overlooks our neighbors house.  My Wife thought the dog had to go out for a bathroom break and opened the door to our backyard to find flames everywhere.  The owners of the home were running out of their house screaming "call 911".
My Wife called and in about 15-20 minutes a dozen fire trucks were on our street.  After moving our electric cars to the street below, I took up a position at the rear of our garage and sprayed the flames with a garden hose until the big hoses arrived.  I was successful in putting out flames and small embers that were hitting our house.  Luckily the firefighters took up a second and third position from our driveway.  They were able to protect our home

Enjoyed spending some time at the pool bar at the Sheraton Waikiki.  The Edge of Waikiki sits on the ocean and is a great place to grab a meal and drink.  Enjoyed the Cheese Platter with a crisp Chardonnay.

Think I just found my new favorite wine bar in Waikiki.  Loved Island Vintage Wine Bar.  Food and service were excellent on this visit.  Started with fresh Shoyu Poke that we requested be served with greens in place of rice.  Delicious.  I had the Keto Wagyu Burger wrapped in lettuce in place of a bun.  The burger was a bit messy but super delicious.  My friend had the Lox of Bagel and loved it.  Amazed at the size of the menu here and Keto options.  Will be going back real soon.  Love this place!
