I miss you guys. I haven't forgotten you all. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I missed...we're already friends, fellas. We don't need an electronic friendship request to ensure it.

Believe me when I say that I will get back to Oahu first chance I get and I'll either look each one of you up either as one big group meet or one at a time if I have to.

BTW, we should hookup on Facebook or Stumbleupon.

 

WHAT UP PAT! You all the way in Indiana? Sheesh!

 

sup dude.. long time no see. FB you know the name

 

I've been 'scamming' the Army for the past 4yrs or so...all the while in Bloomington, IN; 2yrs in recruiting then 2.5yrs as a VERY un-busy grad student.

Got the degree and now I'm in Upstate NY at Ft Drum house shopping. I'll either be the 10th Mountain Division's information assurance officer, or automation management officer starting in about 3 weeks or so.

I'm getting used to the single life again after 10yrs. I'm not very enthused about the blizzard-like climate here but I'll only be about a 5hr drive away from my children.

The car is still rolling. It's still WAY under 50k miles on the odo, but it has become a much lower priority. I did get it tuned but only to take it off of the UTEC and using the ECU only. The tune isn't very agressive (I think only 14-15lbs) but it runs much smoother. Unfortunately, the frozen weather finally took its toll and my 'unique' frown look has been besmirched...by a shopping cart in the Walmart parking lot. That and while on a cross-country roadtrip to Connecticut to visit with my kids, I bottomed out behind a gas station late at night as I was trying to find a place to let my dog pee, so the header now has a big exhaust leak which makes the car sound like a tractor.

Anyhow, now that life is returning to a more normal state, I'll be keeping in touch much better.

Aloha my friends!

Edit: Enough about me. Jon, how's the keiki & the Ohana? You too, Vern? How's everything?

 

Pat!!

 

Wassup Pat. Good to hear you still got the car.

 

the family and i are good... how do you spell your last name?

 

Aloha Sir!

 

Jon, it's McDaniel.

Fran & Chris...ALOHA!

Man, even after being sent to the poorhouse by the divorce lawyer, you guys are making me want to buy airplane tickets right now.

 

we miss you here too dude.

 

Hey GPat, i've since moved from Ohio too. Now located in Sunny Southern Cali

 

I'm the last one still in the mid-west and we were all too lazy to find each other.

 

Sweet Saul! I'm located at the "polar" opposite of that right now. I think Blake would even agree that 9-12deg lows during the night and 15-18deg highs during the day is just not too fun to be outside in for too long.

B, I'm still in Bloomington for another 3 weeks or so and it ain't laziness so much as it's that we're all allergic to the cold, wet, foggy weather.

 

Bran & Fran...howsit? I hope you and your families are well.

 

Damn man...it is so cold right now...makes me not want to go outside or do anything. Then it gets hot and FREAKING HUMID! The humidity is far beyond what it was in HI and no trade winds.
