Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A Bit Chlily Today

It is 76 in Austin with a clear bkue sky. It was 83 yesterday.

It's supposed to only be a high of 17 here tomorrow. 30 right now.

Sounds nice at this time. Tell me how good it feels in July and August when you have the humidity and dead air.
While you're enjoying the July, August weather I'm enjoying clear skys, a nice breeze, temps in the mid eightys at most and the lake is still inviting with a cool temp.
Jealous at this time of year though.

Ding, ding, ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unthaw = re-freeze.

Sorry for the poor use of a word. I mean't thaw the fricken machine out. I guess your not from No. MN
again sorry for the poor usage of words. I will work on it in the future with my retirement. Ya right.

Cabindweller:

I also attended Kailua Intermediate, we moved to Kailua in 1960. My wife's family ran a farm in Maunawili Valley, then
bought a house overlooking Flat Island.

Every 4th of July the town puts on a aerial fireworks show
launched from a barge anchored near flat island. So we family members host the 4th of July party from the in-laws house.

I have a family picture taken in 1960 from the Lanikai boat
ramp. We are the only ones at the beach on this Sunday.
Now Kailua beach is a Zoo. The Lanikai loop is gridlocked
and no cars can get in. This weeked the city banned ALL
public parking in the Lanikai area due to the barrage of
tourists canoeing to Flat or the Mokulua Islands.

Across Kailua road from the Intermediate school was Campos
Dairy. It is long gone and luxury town homes are being built and sold for 800K...

Kailua Beach is so crowded with ocean activities that a diver was run over and killed by a speeding boat recently.

OK, rant over and off my soap box.

Looks like a sense of humor is scarce at -40*

After 23 years in Prudhoe Bay I assure you it is quite scarce at -40!

And a "Hot water heater".....

Well, I just call them water heaters.

I kind of suspected what you just confirmed. I took my family back to my old stomping groups back in the late 90s, and it was getting kind of crowded around the beaches there and the water quality seemed a little off to me.

We lived up the hill from Lanikai elementary on Puahialani Place. On the top of hill at the end of our cul de sac we had access to the hills above Lanikai beach. There was a small creek emanating from a spring there that we used to forage for crayfish and the most beautiful freshwater prawn you could imagine. With our spearguns, Hawaiian sling spears, fresh fruit growing everywhere and pellet guns for shooting doves, we were living a pretty adventurous semi-subsistence lifestyle. My best friends dad took us out to set out and pull gill nets we placed between the Mokuluas. That thing would be loaded with fish from overnight. It was an awesome childhood living there. I am sure you have so many great memories from your childhood as well.

I'm 100mi W of you, getting the same weather today:

My late wife was from Bemidji.
She used to say unthaw.
She also said "also to".
