Welcome; You'll love GJ !! I was just in your neck of the woods for a short stint, my father-in-law passed away (retired A/F LtCol) and he wanted to be put to rest in the punch bowl. I only spent 3 days but a great place. Loved the "lunch plates"

My father and his father were also in the Military(retired). Punch bowl is a nice cemetery, I thought it was full already.
The correct way of saying here Nozzleman is "plate lunch"-English is back words here or aka "broken English" or ""pidgen language".

It's raining now and was windy the last couple of days.-your weather report.

That place has changed alot since then

I don't know when you were last at Waimea falls park, but it changed alot too. It's more like a park now, no shows but you get to swim in the pond now.

 

[oldtools808]

I see your a retired machinist, Navy shipyard?

Yup, worked for 33+ years, retired almost 7 years now.. Just fixing stuff for everyone, restoring old tools, small engins, furnature, etc...

 

[theroyz71]

I'm sure it has. That was a long time ago. Would love to go back and check it out. Went to Maui in 2004 but we didn't get off the island.

Aloha from another Hawaiian on the Big Island. I was up there for several years for my job before moving back home to the BI.
As you can see I'm more of a lurker than a poster.
