lanikai Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 rek001 Posted Today, 04:21 PM Javalicious!

rek001 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wow, chewing on beans, is that how you get your fiber for the day? I buy a pound of Viennese roast (lightest of the dark roasts) from a ma & pa coffee & tea shop up the street from me once a week, as soon as they see me walking toward the store they get the beans and start grinding, I'm too rushed in the morning to fresh grind. hey told me I wouldn't like hawaiian coffee, way different taste than what I drink. I use a Krups drip maker, the coffe is sooo smooth, rich and strong. BTW, gorgeous pix, mai ka i! (What my uke teacher sez when we play good).

I like the darker roast Kona... if you ever get to try "Jamaica Blue Mountain" very small amount released to the public .. it's the official coffee of the "White House" 60 usd a pound.. very nice.. light but very flavourful.. Mai ka i .. means "Good" .. i think I have one more CD from the late .. Bruddah IZ Kamakawiwaole.. if I can find it . it's yours.. his Falseto voice and ukulele are euphoric.. "Over the Rainbow" .. his rendition that is used by a couple of Movie Hits.. thank you for the kind words.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Bruddah Iz...amazing man, both in talent in what he tried to do for his people. A partial playlist of songs my teacher (hawaiian born but now living in US) has taught us (there's 5 of us): Island Style Ka Na'i Aupuni Queen's Lullaby/He 'Ala Nei E Mapu Mai Nei KHBC Kaimana Hila/Kapiolani Paka Koali/Kipahulu Henehene Kou Aka Green Rose Hula Ulupalakua and about another 150 songs. We've had to memorize hawaiian lyrics to about 20 songs, the basis for our kanikapila set. Also she made us learn the ancient chants, oli, ask the ancestors for permission to perform the music. Anyway I've been learning from her for 5 years, demanding teacher, old school hawaiian, "you must follow the path, learn by watching and listening" but she is phenomenal musician. It has enriched my life so much...hard to express. She's also a kumu hula, we play for the dancers during performances, she insists on live music. Thanks so much for your offer, if you find the CD I'd be most honored to receive it from you. I'll PM you my deets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Those are all very traditional "never will die" mele's ,..good you are learning.. in the "Old Hawaiin Style" .... one of my favorites from Bruddah Iz ... "Kamalani".. it happens to be my Brothers name also...the limu Kohu mele.. is one of my all time favs too.. My Brother did work .. Hooponopono with A Kahuna Lapa au .. healer .. with the Native American Tribes .. very spirtual..and metaphysical anyway ... wayyyyy off topic here so .. better save this for another thread..

Btw, have you been to hamura saimin stand in Kauai? that place rocks!!!! damn, all this food talk...i am SO hungry now!!! btw, im running out of my Kona!!!!! need to get more somehow .. I think Hawaii has the most ethinc foods per capita... walk down one block and you have Sergio's.. (from Sicily) he cooks himself... 4 stars... to vietnamese.. Hawaiin... Chinese.. Japanese.. Greek .... I buy the Kona only on sale .. 18 usd a pound .. otherwise it's 25 usd a pound .. how much do you pay ??? I just bought 3 lbs. .. I'll pm you lata... @Mickey,... the asian eta is actually running spot on since last week on the Blue dial.. need to see the Brown after a week on the winder .. I'll let you know buddy !!.. it wears "BIG" due to the crystal size.. Toadtorrent Posted Today, 03:06 AM Very nice pics Lani. It's always a challenge finding a good theme for a pic, and you got a good one here. You're diggin' that new DSLR aren't you? About diggin the Nikon... YA THINK ??? .. with all the tropical baeches you think it would be a no brainer to get shots next to the ocean.. with the thongs walking around.... ya think people will believe me when I tell them I'm just shooting pics of my watch @TMG>. thanks S. .... 1655 truding along... got the second hands coming in this week .. vlydog may need an assist with them .. so I reordered.. he can have the first one for his upcoming appointment.. @surpur...

mjmurphy926 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Very nice pix Lani. My favorite brew also comes from that region...Kona brewing Wailua Wheat. It's brewed with passion fruit. It used to be that the only place you could get that particular flavor was at the brewery. Imagine my delight when I found it at my local Liquor store in Colorado last month!! $24 a case...I'd pay double that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 My bad, I know you hate parting with your watches! I just thought I saw a little glimmer there I'm leaning on keeping the Blue dial .. since I have browns in the IWC's enough.. who knows once I start all Hell might break loose and I may start liquidating ma cases... sheesh then I can really go nuts with the genuine parts for my vintage projects..
