Aloha from island Oahu

[island911]

Hey Guys (and "gals" . . . and lesbians trapped in mens bodies .. .and artists not understood . ..

I've been away for a bit, but just wanted to say Aloha from a favorite island.

The North-Shore is pretty damn nice this time of year.






So what's been happening? . . . does Tabs trailerhouse now have a water-view, or what?

[cstreit]

Oh rub it in Island, RUB IT IN.

[pwd72s]

So, you've moved there? Why aren't you in contact with Jeff????

[speeder]

Island is in the Islands. Seems apropriate to me.

[island911]

cstreit - yeah, it was SNOWING when I left Seattle.

PWD, naw, no move. . . just here for some sun while I recover from a major surgery. ( I had replacement parts, that looked like they came from The Terminator, installed -yikes)

I thought about getting in contact with Jeff . . .but so many "grass-shacks" here (none with 911's) so little time.
It is actually amazing . . . the vast number of people living here in nothing more than a car, a tent . . . or just shorts.

Hey Denis, I'm planning on being in the LA area towards the end of the month (if it's still there - scary stuff) . . .maybe we could round-up some of you SoCal OT guys for a beer or two?

LA will still be here. But evidently you sent your PNW rain in advance of your visit here...

I was on the big island last week. I'm ready to go back. Are there any tracks in Hawaii?

Yo Island, you traded islands! Hope you guys are having a blast...

The North Shore is famous for the amounts of "grass shacks" here...and it can be easily considered as the "countryside" compared to the "city" part of Hawaii. If you came about two weeks ago, you would've witnessed some 25-30 footers on the North Shore. When are you leaving? I'll PM you my number, and even though I'm far away in the lower right side of the island (~ 3 miles east of Waikiki) it'd be great meeting another person on the board.

As far as race tracks go? Hawaii really sucks ass...we have one here but it's kinda run down, and their lease is up in two years. There has been talks of a new motorsports park here and on Maui, but who knows when that'll ever happen...

EDIT: island, your PM box is full and I can't send you an email; I can be reached at 808 429 8281.

Most definitely! Maybe we even let some guys from the regular board attend.

Please send me your cell phone#, I will try to do the same when you empty your mailbox some.

Hang on, where's my thermometer ... oh, there it is -- 30F. It's like just below freezing here on the Olympic Peninsula, Island. I had to leave the heater on in the garage last night to keep the wet paint from freezing before it dried. (shakes head)

There you are! Have a pleasant recovery, Island.

Very nice Island - My wife and I went back to Hawaii on our 10 year anniversary this past summer - visited Kauai and Maui.
Here's a shot of the start of the Na Pali coastline:

And a shot of Allerton Gardens on the south side of Kauai:

Good to hear your back up and around! Sooo jealous!

The wife and I will be taking our first trip sans kids this July...to Maui.

[arcsine]

I have heard fruity rum drinks help rehabilitation. Think you can get ahold of something like that there?

[pbs911]

Hawaii, truely paradise. I lived there for 15 years. Been away for 9 and miss it every day.

Nice pics of Sunset.

[911S Targa]

Ahhh, thanks Z Man. This was home for me for 9 years of my life, and everyday, I miss it just the same.
