morning Sam and expat

Her Son (31 or 32?) still lives in Seattle....But he is in Hawaii working for his Grandpa for 4 months.

His Grampa runs a couple of tourist trap stores there. He can't travel for any length of time unless he can get some family in to "watch the store"....

4 months in Hawaii? Tough to come back from. I know the cost of living is insane, but it is really nice.

You forgot to say you are getting rocks. Lots of rocks

Can you believe the Wife still wants to get rocks......But we are flying out there..

She is taking a couple of the big flat rate USPS Priority Mail boxes to fill with "cool rocks"......

 

[db1959]

Slept like crap, got up way to early. At least its a half day for me.

Rocks with gold in it would be very cool.

We did a trail run on the pirate ship yesterday. Started jacking it up only it didn't go up. We cant see underwater but I think the jacks were pushing down. Need to have a look this morning and rethink the jack bases.

Now I can see why she wants those rocks

She can load all of those that she finds....

25 tons. It would take a hell of a crane to reach that far. We are talking around 200 feet.

Oh, I'm sure it can be done, but that would be big bucks...

 

[SEIndSAM]

Gotta go, catch you later...

Take care Sam
