Takeing the Puma to Hawaii--maybe tangle with a Boar?
Leaving Wed. for Kaua'i.. got my paperwork back (hunters safety exemption) so I can buy a hunting liscence. We'll have a week on the Island, hope to find a piggy or what ever is in season.. Puma's ready.. put three shots into one inch at 100 yds .. 44 Mag factory Winchester 240s....Now is only Delta doesn't go out of business, or grounds all their planes.. Les
Man, I wish I could go with you. Do you think you might have room in your carry-on for me to stow away? Sure hope you have a good time.

Howlie
Heck, no one will have to guess once they see my slug-belly white legs, and other stuff.. only thing gets tan in Wyoming in winter is your face and backs of your hands.. I'll have to look for a T-shirt that says Howlie.. Les (guess snow camo would be out, then? )
HAOLE (hah-ole') Ha meaning breath, and ole meaning "without" or "absence of" so literally "without breath" or "the ones without breath". Some feel this referred to the first Caucasians the Hawaiian people saw looking white like a dead person but I feel this is incorrect as some of these crewmen were very well tanned, and no record of Hawaiians referring the real dead as "Haole". What Me and many historians feel is the origin of this word is this: The traditional Polynesian greeting even to this day in many parts of Polynesia though not so much in modern Hawaii was the exchange of breath the "ole", two people would approach each other, make contact with each other on the forehead and then while still touching their heads let out a deep exhale of their breath or "ole" which was the exchanging of what represented their life force their breath, a very deep and emotional greeting. On meeting these first Caucasians including Captain James Cook (whom the natives mistook at first for the god Lono) what the Hawaiians noticed right away was these peoples lack of etiquette in proper greeting procedures including the exchanging of breath or "ole" thus "without breath" or "Ha-ole".
Haole referred originally to the the first explorers which were English, and also to the English speaking American Whalers and Missionaries who were not too far behind. Later it came to mean any one or any thing (people, plant, animal) that was foreign or introduced post contact.
The term Haole can be used in a derogatory way but in context can be anything the speaker desires. I myself am very proud of my Haole father and his Haole culture, it's what makes me unique.

PM sent
Ganjiro: PM sent.. Pete Moss: I'd wait awhile before buying a SS 44 mag in the Puma.. Mine was made sometime before May 07, and the bore was oversize.. .4335 groove to groove.. would not shoot for beans. sent it back for replacement, and got another one just like it.. sent it in again, and they put a GOOD barrel on it last time.. just shot a 3 shot group at 100 yds at ONE INCH with Winchester factory 240s!!..any new stock guns should be okay by now..

Pete, the afore mentioned situation with the 44 Puma's has been corrected, but as Les said, if you buy from anyone you could end up with an early production version. Contact Steve Young (Steve's Guns, one of our sponsors), and buy it from him. He'll set you up with a good one. No need to wait!
