1 week down

Another wonderful day in paradise! It rained several times, so a little more humidity, but we really do not mind it.

After a week of work, Bob has finally determined a little more of what is expected from him. He is specifically expected to keep all of the air conditioners and refrigeration units from the Polynesian Cultural Center (42 acres of property) running so everyone stays cool! The I Max theater and the gift shop that is part of it did not have air yesterday, so today he worked on the air handling equipment. The control water valve that feeds the coil needed to be repaired. At the Ambassador kitchen he worked on a reach-in cooler that was tripping the GFI breaker.He has the neatest little “cart”, He is quite happy with it. He just buzzes around all over the center, and of course everyone is becoming very acquainted with him!

We love the Polynesian attitude of waves and smiles and greetings from everyone all day long. This certainly is the place to be to boost your spirits!

Yesterday I took my cart driving test and passed. Of course, yesterday Bob took me to the motor pool place and set up the cones and had me driving through the course I would have to pass. He taught me how to make those silly carts do what you want, even in reverse! I was grateful for his help because when I drove the course and passed, Elder Florence said I drove the best of any woman yet! He even gave me a tootsie roll for my performance! So today at the office I became the cart driver…now I buzz all over the center. It’s tons of fun and you can cover so much more ground, see more people, get lots more waves and smiles and hugs than when you are “a foot”!
