Calling all GOD’s: Keep the Kids Out

[mrfixitchapman]

Well, some of us have, what do you call them?, Oh yeah. Jobs. I guess I'm some kind of Vintage Tweenster. Old enough to be called old, not old enough to retire and have all day long to play on the internets.

No…it is very pleasant here today. Lovely day, nice ocean breeze, I am cool.

Whatevas....:10:

I talked to a friend of mine this morning who lives in your home town and she said she about froze this morning, had to turn on her car heater.

I talked to a friend of mine this morning who lives in your home town and she said she about froze this morning, had to turn on her car heater.

Wish I was that lucky, I’ve retained most of my cashmere, just in case.

Here, what is considered Kona, is sooo variable. I house sat for a friend up Kaloko and froze my butt off.

For me cool is when sweat is not dripping off my arms, running down my legs and pooling in unmentionable depressions, when sitting down and reading.

Of course Hot is when I feel my skin sear walking from my office building 100 yards to the Sales Office.

78 degrees, humdiddy 52% @ 8pm. Last nights rain washed out much of the volcano sulfur spewage. I’m cool with it.

Hijacking my own thread….He Started It!

Funny how it works here. I was in CA in I guess was a very Hot time. I think every one I spoke with asked me if it was hot enough for me which was rather puzzling. I didn’t seem sympathetic enough apparently and my brother finally asked, how hot is it, what would you say the temp is? I guessed 88, 90…it was on the warm side. 107 I think it was, broke some record anyway.

He refused to believe I didn’t think it was Hot and just being disagreeable. None the less, after just 48 hours of CA ‘heat’ the humidity in Kona about knocked me to the ground walking out the door of the plane. Funny, doesn't usually and I wasn’t searing in CA.:blinking:

Weather report. It's just above freezing here and occasional heavy snow flurries. So there!

RR - like that sig.

Weather, old bones, need tropics............

Oh Yeah!
When Mom asked me to stay and help her after Dad died, I thought I could never leave the snow and all the joy it’s brought me in my life. Felt like the ultimate sacrifice to be the dutiful daughter and stay. Now, you can’t get me outta here (big fight with my brother over that.)

Funny, never have missed the shoveling part of snow.:blinking:

Where in I’m at in Kona, it’s 81 degrees and 58% humidity now. The sulfur is back but still, very nice day.

What the heck is going on with the fonts? This is 1.

Got out of the office today to install some gear, mid 80's, beutiful breeze up on the roof of an oceanfront 32 story condo. Great view for miles up and down the beach.

So when we moved to Oregon 14 years ago we really looked forward to our first winter storm. Aaah, a real white Christmas, does it get any better than that?

The snow romance lasted less than 24 hours. I had no idea snow sucked, then, in the middle of all this living in the wilderness something else happened, I got old, got achey and maybe even a tiny bit whiny.


We are moving this year, either Maui or Florida, where depends on how much stuff sells for and how much the government cheats me out of.

As for us, M has a little over two years to go on the thirty-and-out plan. I don't know if my job will last that long, but we'll see. Except for our newest truck, the Dodge Diesel Locomotive, everything is paid off. And that Newport 30 MKIII in front of the workshop is next on my List Of Things To Do. With any luck I'll be ready for a new float plan in a couple years.
