Aloha Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Once it get going again........we had some major storms yesterday
-> -> afternoon. One church several miles from us had its steeple removed 
and
-> -> toppled onto the buliding, lots of big trees down, power out, lots of
-> 
->  hn> And we are enjoying low 70's and cloudy mornings burning
->  hn> off to sunny and dry afternoons. Slight breeze keeps it
->  hn> nice and comfortable for doing yard work!
-> 
-> Come over here; there's lots to be done. Turned out that storm had an
-> EF1 tornado in it that did the damage to the chuch and other buildings.
-> Several houses destroyed, more damaged, same with vehicles but nobody
-> hurt or killed.
-> 
Thank you for offering, but no. We have no tornados, no chiggers, 
no poisonous snakes, very little lightning (cept in the mountains),
cool summers and warm winters...why ever would I want to come
there!!??

-> -> -> from the Campbell estate but when it got to be cheaper to import
-> -> -> pineapple from the Phillipines, they decided to stop growing it.
-> 
-> ->  hn> hmmm macadamia nuts come to mind!
-> 
-> -> Possible but there are lots of mac farms on the Big Island. I'm thinking
-> -> of the fields on Oahu  that went all the way up to the post boundary
-> -> gates.
-> 
->  hn> My personal suggestion would to be to grow
->  hn> some good hardwood for the musical instrument
->  hn> builders...there was a big hue and cry about the
->  hn> lack of good wood lately!
-> 
-> That sounds like a good idea--plant more koa wood. That is pretty wood;
-> I've got a small box and pincushion (base is wood) made of koa.
-> 
There are already plenty of Koa Trees I'd be looking at some
of the other fast growing tropical hardwoods. One of the 
fellow at the convention (from Maylasia) brought a guitar
made entirely of local woods (to him) ...body and sides
were of monkeypod wood!! Sounded pretty good though
-> 
-> ->  hn> various groups of people eating and enjoying
-> ->  hn> the convention. I brought something from
-> ->  hn> home to nibble on during the day!
-> 
-> -> Good way to keep your batteries charged. (G) It's a good thing you're
-> -> shooting digital--can you imagine the developing of all that film? Plus
-> -> the time to change out rolls, etc, you might miss what end up being the
-> -> best shots.
-> 
->  hn> The first two conventions I did were on film, and when
->  hn> you do it often enough, you get pretty quick at it and
->  hn> I was fast enough that I'd never miss more than one
->  hn> pitch at a ball game (grin)
-> 
-> I could do that with the old 126 cartridges; 35mm might mean missing a
-> couple of pitches at this point. My fingers tend to get a bit fumbly if
-> I try to work on something like that in too great a rush.
-> 
Just a matter of doing it often enough that you
coud do it in the dark..once you get to that 
point it's really easy!

-> ->  hn> No, my workspace is too dusty for much
-> ->  hn> computer work..it's in the basement of
-> ->  hn> an old railroad Freighthouse!
-> 
-> -> Too much coal dust still in the air?
-> 
->  hn> Nope, just the accumulated dust of an old building!
-> 
-> Definately sneeze time for me, as well as irritated eyes, etc.
-> 
Anne has the same problem.
-> 
-> -> I saw the M's are giving their now ex manager a bit of extra rest. (G)
-> -> The Mets decided to do likewise.
-> 
->  hn> And the M's are at this moment playing the Mets in NY and
->  hn> our pitcher Felix Hernandez, just hit a grand slam!
-> 
-> Sigh! First time an AL pitcher has done that in 34 years and it had to
-> be against the Mets.
-> 
Thank goodness we can do it against someone!!
We took the second game of the series too!
Good ol knuckleballer had em baffled!
