I see your lump of coal and submit Kayak/Canoe Christmas lights










Repurposing cedar fence boards from the rental house- looks better than the concrete sub walls in my opinion





Old fence boards make nice storage cabinet doors too

I'm not a fan of Tesla's truck, unfortunately the new Ram looks to have taken many of the styling cues from it-
Ack!!

I admit that I did not care for the last big style change either, despite that I bought a 2013 and have had it for many years, I've grown to like the looks and it's a very good pickup- heated and cooled seats have me very spoiled.

Big Island back in 2008.

On Wednesday right before sunrise, I was driving west on US 59 through Rosenberg, Texas when I saw a strange red shaft of light on the horizon opposite the sun. I thought it was a weird beam of sun light showing through a crack in the clouds. Soon I saw another one off to the right of the highway and realized it was a red rainbow. Only red light was coming from the sunrise so the other colors were missing. It was not until I was miles further when I actually hit the rain.

This was me in a shirt with that patch back in 2006 at the Halekulani Hotel sipping a cold Planter's Punch. I recently found the patch in a desk drawer. Fun times!

One of the guys who works for us asked me for a favor. He heeded to get a bunch of new bicycles delivered so that they can be distributed to children. Who otherwise, may not have much of a Christmas.

Skip, are those all in Pololu Valley? I've never been there, but my grandmother was born there in 1908.
