Josh was thinking of bringing his Tuba over to her house and playing a tune loud enough to be heard<G> *but honestly... getting cleared for E-mail would be enough, now..

Yea.. That's a worry I don't ever have show up 'tween the ears.. In 4 years we MAY have hit 100F twice.. and only for a day. We do have up-hills though, and deserts as big as Arizona.. That might surprise yah!<G> > Did you really hit the North shore over Christmas??? Are you a surfing > dude?? Yo Bro.. Da Kine to Da max HanaHou! You probly saw me in my "movie" Free Willy- *I played Willy<G> My "glory" days are past, I'm a longboard inside break guy<G> Josh however, does that snowboard thang up Mt.Hood and likes to "get air" even if he "biffs".. So we surf Oregon, and yea it's COLD.. it's also dangerious with white shark and empty beaches, where currents can pull you out to places that no one will search<G> Every year people die within sight of the beach or the rocks because of not wearing a 4mm or thicker wet suit.. So Josh said- "what's it like to surf warm water?" So off we go to Oahu to check it out last winter<G> Josh takes a lesson where they film "Bay Watch" in dowtown Haliewa, while Cdr.jen and me snorkle dive the reef.. Josh "got sum Ono Waves" and a busted knee hitting the coral<G> when he "ate it" *Later that day after plate lunch of some "Ono Da Kine Grinds" We go up to Pipeline and then to Weimea where Cdr. Jen get hit by a double stack set and pounded hard enough to throw out her back! That leaves 'ole A#1 the only dude left to do the Hula that night at the Hookielaou Luau<G> > Bob Simons > > For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, > "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give > you hope and a future.
