Could be. I know lead paint still is around. One would think it would be banned by now.

I never have had a bad sore throat from welding and I have done a lot of it. I know covid is on the uptick.

I think it is a Japanese fish net float. How it got there?

Not many around here. Cool trees.

Speed Queens are still supposed to still be a durable make. Not cheap though. Used one might be a good option.

I got 31s cables from that source. Really nice. Highly flexible and the tractor starts like it never did before. It used to have to six volts in series. Two twelves much cheaper. Works great.

Yes. Oahu. You are right. It's been a few years and I couldn't remember. It is quite striking in person. The place is worth a stop if you are there. Good baked goods also. It probably has grown since we were there.

Have you been to the Green World Coffee Farm close to the North Shore? The counter is gorgeous. Acacia I suspect.

I had a killer one at my treehouse when I was young. On the side of a hill. I had to put up a little platform at the top of the hill so you had enough height to not scrub. If you ran sideways on your takeoff you would do a giant circle. I think it caused a broken arm and a concussion...

We used to have a lot in hay fields and on the side of creek banks. Since coyotes came around they have moved up around houses and barns where there is less coyote traffic.

What do you use for bait? When I was up there my BIL set some pots out but came up empty. We did catch salmon. Halibut were pretty impressive.

90s for days. Dropping to 80s after today. It has been a crazy up and down year. Cold and wet, then hot and dry. Tough to be acclimated when the temp does wild swings.
