We got whack on sunday with over 12" snow. It could be worst but I am glad the rain came on Monday and the forecast is
rain & more rain till next Tuesday. Also temp zoom from -2*C on Saturday to over 9*C since Monday.

not really a beach person.. prefer mountains and camping out under the stars. tho, hawaii is very tempting. i heard it is truly a paradise on earth from everyone who's been there. 

It is Paradise.
My brother when alive lived there for a number of years and loved it, neighbors parents lived there long time then came back here to help with the grandchildren and we talk especially this winter when we are out shoveling snow as i tease and ask if he misses it.
His answer was obvious.

Yes,

Diamond Head.
Visited there on our honeymoon. We left no stone unturned.
I think another visit for our 25 year is in order.

Hey Pete,
If you ever go there visit one of the Hard Rock Café and try the Hurricane drink. Being a big and heavy weight I thought I was bad azz to drink two,,, no can do bro. LOL

Rafed 25 years ?

You an old fart.

Martin,

Next month will be our 21st.
But I'd like to go there for our 25th.

I hear the light color figs are at their peak at that time of year there. Perfect timing.

Rafed got married in 30s here making 25 this season.
Congrats to you and family.
As for the white types well...........
