Amen, brother. Were you here when Lani wound up in the hospital? It was pretty grim for quite awhile. We gathered up some money and bought him the Doxa book Pete put out and sent it to Omni, who hand delivered it to Lani in his hospital room. You don't just find relationships like these. These are cultivated among good people over many years. It's an honor to be part of this place we call home.

Let's just say "keep your eyes open and watch for an announcement that may be coming soon". *cough*

Chicken

Dayam Dems.... you just stopped a lot of hearts around here.

Wow where does the time go?! I'm glad you're still here big guy, you're one of the bedrock members that keeps the culture of the place flowing. Keep the shiny side up for another 7!

E malama pono brah! Here's mine at Waimea.

Remember that time when we all went gonzo finding him the bezel for his Sub300? Here it is.

Don't know if I dare follow a dbane wristie... !

This morning I've been talking to Lani and he sends his aloha to his ohana here at RWG. He's busy but all is well. Sure hope he pops back in here again and sees this.

Ahhhhh, you think that shed is empty! Remember.... the Fear of God chainsaw? I've got 12 trees worth of alpine fir cut and stacked there... a warm wife is a happy wife.

Takk de samme, Micky!

Pffffffffffft! Here's an article from the UK with better photos. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2086494/Piste-cake-Death-defying-snowboarders-make-history-conquer-VERTICAL-Alaskan-slope.html

Yes, you can love a Casio, but chances are it won't love you back. I read on a Land Rover forum that a Series Rover, unlike most people, is capable of returning affection. It's kinda the same with old mechanical devices, like they're grateful you saved them from the trash heap for another year. I cohabitate with my 2012 Highlander... it's a fine appliance. But I love my 1963 Rover... it has a soul.

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on. Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da.

I've sent vintage Rolex to service centers and $1,000 later had back "not the watch I wanted". The movement isn't magical or anything and a competent watchmaker can service it just as well as Geneva. The smith named above is excellent and will do good solid work. If it's CONUS send it registered and insure it for replacement value, if they'll sell that much insurance. It's not that expensive. Enjoy that watch, it came at some cost. Nobody likes to pay that price. And keep it out of the water, it's earned the right to stay dry by now.

I'm seriously digging that tropical Sub dial. It's wrong, but at the same time, oh so right....

I spent a lot of time in the Bush the last two summers in places you can't even pronounce, and it just made this video all the more real. These are beautiful people, I hope you guys get the experience some day.

Camping

You know, you CAN drive a horse trailer here. Then we'll make some more stories!

Nice, all my shooting today was on the hockey rink.

Well said, old friend. Alan was a gentleman in every way. I was struggling with something a few years back and out of the blue he sent me a set of his ultra high quality screwdrivers, gratis, and I was able to solve the problem. He was a bedrock member of this place we call home, and is still sorely missed.
