Welcome to the Leverguns.Com General Discussions Forum. This is a high-class place so act respectable. We discuss most anything here other than politics... politely.
Please post political post in the new Politics forum.
I drop by and read posts as I am able but rarely post unless it's something happening here and realized that I could at least be polite and say "Howdy".
We are heading into the hot season .. weather is definitely getting warmer. We haven't had any rain since April (a few sprinkles .. nothing measurable) and won't until the end of December or first part of Jan. so it's looking a bit like west Texas around here.
I hope ya'll are doing well. I leave you with a view that not a lot of folks up north have seen ... the Southern Cross.

Aloha Jim, Thank you for sharing, never seen the Southern Cross before Hawaii being the lowest latitude I've ever been. All we have is Polaris to steer by. Maybe one day I get to fulfill my dad's dream of sailing to the Tua Motus. I haven't seen a sky that full of stars since living up in Kula, Maui... ah, the good old days. Kids are precious aren't they?

E hele mua nō lākou, ʻaʻole hoʻi e maʻule.

Looks like you handle the "rough" pretty well
Always glad to hear from you Jim.

Sometimes I wonder if it is worthwhile gnawing through the leather straps to get up in the morning..................
