Hi Hap,

->  hn> Juuuust right! Today will be sunny and high 60's maybe
->  hn> up as high as the low 70's...my kind of weather!

-> Send some of it our way--espcially if there's some rain mixed in.

 hn> Pushed it as far east as I could....I think
 hn> it got stalled over the midwest somewhere!

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
rain & hail in a short time, etc. We just got lots of rain on post, with
some getting in thru the bottom of the back French doors.

-> leaving, it wasn't as great a seller's market as it had been even a few
-> months before.  Now that Del Monte has stopped growing pineapple, I'm
-> wondering what the land is being used for.  They were leasing the land
-> 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> Yep, that was her first night here, before the convention
->  hn> started...once it did it was 5am to midnight for me everyday!

-> Probably a "grab whatever you can on a break" type eating? Some
-> conventions give you decent meal breaks; others make you hit whatever's
-> fast and cheap.

 hn> The convention had a good meal break each day.
 hn> But I worked through it usually, getting shots of
 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> It's over now, and I only have about 4 days worth of work to
->  hn> organize all the photos and get them burned to CD's for the

-> Sounds like fun.  Do you do it in the shop near the Hawaiian place? Is
-> the place still doing well?

 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?

-> Busier now in your retirement than when you worked full time? (G)

 hn> Sure seems like it sometimes! Boy was I
 hn> tired after the game last night! Don't have
 hn> to start work tonight until one hour before
 hn> game time...I can use the extra rest today!

I saw the M's are giving their now ex manager a bit of extra rest. (G)
The Mets decided to do likewise.


->  hn> work...Amanda went back to Cal on Sunday..she was a

-> I imagine so! But, even tho you were working, you still got to see her.
-> We talked to both of our girls on Sunday; Rachel finished the school

 hn> It was very nice to see her, and fun to work with
 hn> her again.

I imagine it felt in some way, like nothing had changed. When will she
be all finished with her schooling?
