Good morning Michael.

Good Morning Randy

I saw you emailed me but I switched email accounts a couple of years back and you might not have my current account

Thanks for checking in on me

We left or sold almost everything in Hawaii but the PS-5105 came home with me and finally met her big brother

It was a fun family reunion

I think this is the guy Gary.

I live down on the south east end of the Big Island. The fires here were well away from me. I did live a short time just north of Lahaina, Maui. Spent a bit of time there, it was a beautiful little community. It’s unbelievable what happened there.

We had a condo and later a home on Molokai for years, although we finally gave up on Hawaii and sold out last summer

One of our favorite things to do when the ferry was still running was to go over to Lahaina and stay at the Pioneer Inn for a couple of nights

We would shop and have a good meal but sitting in the rocking chairs on the little balconies and people watching the crowds on Front St was my favorite thing

At least I have 25 years worth of memories...

Il let the neighbourhood Rest In Peace today with no chainsaw activity but tomorrow they better be ready

I cut one charred log for my dad once before a GFY came out.
How you getting on with the soot and chain wear and such?

Bar wear is a little more but not too bad, more so tired of blowing my nose and it just being black

We vacationed on Molokai quite a few years back. Took the mule ride down Kalaupapa. The locals were super friendly. We got permission to hike over someone’s land to a waterfall. I remember coming across the biggest mango tree I’ve ever seen. It had to be 6 ft across at the base. That was before I got into woodworking.

The mule ride is gone, probably for good

The trail washed out a few years ago and the family that controls the access from the mule stables to the trailhead decided to raise the trespass fee astronomically so after a year of feeding the mules for no reason they were shipped off island, possibly for good

Due to CoVid no one was allowed down to Kalaupapa anyway so the trail never got fixed either

You can’t go to the waterfall anymore without a local guide and a trespass fee

Sadly, “The Friendly Isle” is not so friendly anymore

It has been steadily getting more and more hostile for the past few years

While it is a VERY vocal minority that is spouting the “Haole go home” rhetoric, very few of the rest of the population will stand up and say aloha “welcome” like they used to

There are large signs in peoples yards along the highway saying “Tourists Not Welcome”, “Aloha is not for Visitors”, on and on

It’s hard to feel anything but the animosity these days

There are 2 sides to every story and I acknowledge that Hawaiians weren’t always dealt with fairly

Unfortunately people are having a hard time letting go of the past and realizing it’s the 21st century and they can’t turn the calendar back

Sorry, I climbed up on my soapbox there

Done

I do when using a grinder too, but this is outside in the heat and a mask would make it unbearable

Yes, it is too bad all that. Even when I was there over 20 years ago, it was very clear they wanted no change. I remember one area being described to me as “all built up”. It was two small buildings about the size of a 7-11. There are now more native Hawaiian on the mainland than Hawaii. Thus, the resentment towards the haoles. Haole can be both endearing or derogatory, depending how it’s used. The tourist go home attitude stems from lack of knowledge and/or respect of Hawaiian culture. When I worked at Mauna Lani Resort on this island, we had Danny Akaka teaching us & the guest about the culture. He’s former Senator Akaka’s son. His talks were fascinating & he is about the nicest man on the planet.
Wow, I’ve posted more here than my entire time on the site.
