Last of the Days of Bling

[Moore Bettah Ukuleles]

I’ve just googled Moloka’i and I would very much like to talk about it please

I only mentioned it because Pete’s going there. And I was just trying to derail his post further! . We lived on Moloka’i for 10 years back in the 80s. It’s a very special place. Now this train has totally gone off it’s tracks! You‘re welcome Pete!

Oh who cares, it’s just an uke. Why don’t we talk about Moloka’i?

Please, Chuck, tell us about Moloka'i. All I know is that it's supposedly the least developed of the Islands.

Haha, well I think you succeeded! Moloka’i looks quite wonderful, thank you for incidentally drawing it to my attention

I now know why I recused myself from this forum. What have any of your replies got to do with the topic of the post? Talk about hi-jacking - well and truly mugged! Goodbye. You clearly don't want to see how this build progresses.

congratulations! you have been awarded the
"Best Troller of My Own Thread" award!

When the OP thread started "Last Two" I assumed that he wasn't going to make any more with with inlay... I must have read that wrong

So what does "Last two full bling" mean?

 

[Pegasus Guitars]

It's so cool how weird this thread has become. My favorite Molokai image.Unfortunately I have not been there in person. Chuck knows the details. Be nice to eachother!-Bob

Meh, Pete is a bit of a crank, and if you don't believe me, then he will tell you himself that its true.
Thread drift on internet forums is just so "normal". You just have to drift it back to topic, if you want.
No pressure.

Possibly " the latest full bling" ?

So what does "Last two full bling" mean?

Last [most recent] full bling. Along the lines of "Last night," which doesn't mean the end of the world.

A Song for Moloka'i is about pride for the ancestral island. Bit incongruous that it is set to the tune of 'Tenting Tonight', the American Civil War song. Perhaps someone could give a rendition?

Wait, what? Pete's going to Moloka'i!? .

As in permanently relocating, or visiting on holiday?

Pete’s only going there on Holiday. But Eric DeVine recently moved there. To the hot and dry side. Good weather for building ukes where he is. The photo that Bob attached above is of Kalaupapa on the backside, non accessible by car. It’s the former leper colony. Gorgeous place. Does anyone know what would cause a rear brake caliper to stick? It only does it one every few months

Sticking rear brake caliper - not a clue. But can anyone recommend a good dial caliper?

I don’t know about that, but we‘ve got two volcanos erupting here on Big Island at the same time. Pretty exciting.

I’d been wondering when / if someone would mention the volcanoes. Hope the breeze is keeping the smoke & cinders off you & yours, Chuck.

That’s great! Pete! -email me, come on over to the Big Island! Molokai is beautiful, I was good friends with the people that owned the Friendly Market so was over there all the time, absolutely my kind of place, but not enough koa trees. Plenty of milo and kou though…

 

[Moore Bettah Ukuleles]

Here’s the view from Hilo town. The flow is not currently posing any danger to people or property (except for the wild goats that call Maunaloa home). Only hazard is from vog for people who live downwind. Nasty stuff. Maui and Oahu are getting vog now. These photos are inspiring me for new inlay designs. Bling. See, I brought the thread full circle!
Anyone know what causes brown spots on avocado leaves?

Misaki’s is better though. More local. And how about Taki’s hardware store? Could find anything there! Where you live on BI?
BTW, Pete and his lovely wife were in BI a few years ago.

More local? I remember the hardware store sold these enormous spotlights that people would mount to their trucks to shoot deer at night. Different rules over there.

I met Pete when I was living in the UK a few years ago. He was incredibly generous with his time and knowledge, gave me tools, spent an entire day showing me how to set up. Would love to return the favour.

I’m down in south kona, directly downhill from the southwest rift. Good times
