======================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> We're finding that we really did appreciate the fairly consistant temps
-> -> in HI. (G)  For the most part, summers weren't too warm nor winters too
-> -> cold.
-> 
->  hn> Well there wasn't much of a change of seasons there that's for sure!
-> 
-> Not really, but I could tell the almost imperceptable difference when
-> fall took over for summer.  It showed up in my peak flow monitors,
-> surprising my even my pulmonologist who had lived there for several
-> years already & couldn't tell.  Trouble is, it never really got cold
-> enough to run the oven all day for a slow cooked meal; A Thanksgiving or
-> Christmas turkey would heat up the house quite a bit.  I think that may
-> be one reason Steve went with the smoking of the birds.
-> 
I did some cooking in Hawaii but not a huge amount...mostly hibachi on the 
lanai (grin) Steaks, burgers, fish....all hibachi friendly! I usually measured
the 
seasons by the surf patterns; winter= big north shore surf from storms in the 
North Pacific..Summers meant more tourists in Waikiki!

-> -> Well, you have the picnic date; maybe you can guest usher at the
-> -> Nationals stadium or Camden Yards. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Would love the chance to see a game at either of those parks. I can
->  hn> request the time off from the Mariners, but I have no control 
whatever
->  hn> over the schedule of the photo workshops...and while they will be fun
->  hn> to do, I really wish I hadn't been finaggled into doing them.
-> 
-> Such is life.  I'd go to one of those stadiums if my favorite team were
-> playing; I think CT Ruth would join me. (G)
-> 
Any day at the ballpark is a good day!

-> ->  hn> Much warmer than a German winter....and some say it's even more
-> ->  hn> bleak...
-> 
-> -> I guess it's good for working on your coat of rust.  People with SADD
-> -> must really have a time of it there.
-> 
->  hn> They usually leave after the first winter!
-> 
-> Unless they're military connected and can't get out for several years.
-> 
Then they get sent to Iraq (wry grin)...plenty of sunshine there! 
The dependents get to do what dependents always get to do....suffer and 
wait!

-> -> -> Steve asked if I wanted to go back to the older monitor; he wanted 
2
-> -> -> wide screens but I decided to keep the one.  He's still having 
problems
-> 
-> ->  hn> Since I do a lot of digital imaging work the two screens work very
-> ->  hn> well for me, I can put my palates and tools on the right screen and
-> ->  hn> have nothing but image on the left.
-> 
-> -> Sounds like a good set up to me.
-> 
->  hn> I really love it!
-> 
-> I imagine. (G) Do you have one room dedicated to computer "stuff"?
-> 
Kinda sorta...Anne has a desk in here too....but I haven't seen it in a couple 
of years she's got so much stuff piled on top of it (grin) and then there are 
the cookbooks in here too.....LOTS of cookbooks!

-> ->  hn> I bounce around as it seems my heat tolerance goes up and down 
for
-> ->  hn> some reason (grin) but I'd usually settle on 4 ish and sometimes 5
-> 
-> -> ON a good day I might be a 4; other days, a 2 is all I can handle. Steve
-> -> likes hotter than I do; he'd probably go between 4 & 5, depending on 
how
-> -> much other flavor in the food.
-> 
->  hn> The flavor is key for me as well, I'm not a fan of heat for heat's
->  hn> sake. chat with you soon
-> 
-> In small doses it's all right but I don't want it ovrepowering
-> everything else on the plate.
-> 
agreeed!
chat with you soon
