HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 3

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 3

Confession time:

Tried Primo beer. That was the nastiest stuff in a bottle. I'm calling it Chemo beer from now on.

Really? Shucks. I think it's pretty darned AWESOME!

It's similar to one of Kona Brew's blend, but I can't pinpoint which one. I think the Lilikoi Ale, although the new Primo is a lager. My only complaint about the new Primo is the price, which runs around the $10 range for a 6-pack.

Jim, yes, that's exactly what Tako and Ika is. In fact, Auntie and I had a little debate going not long ago on Squid vs. Octopus Luau. lol That was fun.

Dried Ika and Tako (origin: Japan) is very popular in the islands as a pupu (appetizer).

Glad you folks like the Sunset shot. That was quite an epic "Kodak" moment. The sky was on fire.

Here's some smoked squid rings from Tamura's...


OMG... these are like DA' BOMB!

And here's Ika...



I think one of the coolest things about Primo Beer is their logo. Check out the WAY COOL cap on the new bottles!...



I think that's what I'm gonna' do for this year's Halloween. I'm gonna' paint my face blue and black, and make a warrior hat and chest piece like the "Primo Beer Warrior" dude. Carry around a couple of faux Primo Beer 6-packs. He he.

...and now that this thread has increased by one more page, it's safe for me to open it at home again, without fear that the AF will be looking over my shoulder as the earlier arachnid photos come up. She would have FREAKED (and not in a good way).

Sunset in January at Diamond Head...
Looks kinda' like fire...

Da' new Primo Beer, and for pupus, smoked, dried Tako (and Ika on da' side) from Tamura's Market...

Those sunset photos are definitely stunning!

I googled tako and ika and it sounds like tako is dried octopus and iko is dried shredded squid. Is that right?

Wot'chu tink a dis guy?!

Just wanted to say that I found him along the coast of Makapuu and left in place. I work at the Bishop Museum and could've gotten all kinds of kudos for bringing "Pohaku's Aikane" in, but chose to leave him in place instead! It just felt like the right thing to do.

I was at Hardware Hawaii picking up supplies including a sink drain plug, and when I saw the back of the package I just had to take these two photos.>>>>

lol Reminds me of those Chinese imported products packed in generic boxes, which include instructions written in "Chinglish", like this...

"Step 1: Insert A screw drive with hands. Step 2: After driving insert, screw the shelf onto cabinet. Step 3: After screwing, put tab A into the top of point B". What the? lol

Here's a picture of my grandmother (mom's mom), taken back in the late 70's at our house in Kaneohe...



She's half English, half Hawaiian, and could speak fluent Hawaiian. She was a loving, generous and classy lady, and very self conscious about always looking her best, although she sure did have a knack for sweets and rich foods. lol

Ok, so let me start by saying I'm Arachnophobic. Extremely. I'm afraid of them yet I'm fascinated by them. I get itchy whenever I think about them or see them. I found this giant as I was reaching for the hose bib to turn the water off after washing my car tonight. Thankfully, the bricks on the front of my home are white and he stuck out even in the darkness. I promptly went right back in the house and asked my wife... Where's the flashlight! I want to make sure I'm not going insane and freaking out for no apparent reason. Then I went looking around for something to smash it and figured the 3 cell maglight would suffice. My wife thought I was crazy and asked me that if it was my imagination if she could laugh at me. Be my guest was my reply. Went back out with my camera, and the flashlight and sure enough my nightmare was indeed real. I snapped a pic and brought the camera back in the house. "So... you want to laugh at me?" LOL. Then I went searching for something to catch it in. Some sadistic part of me wanted to catch it and at least take pictures of it before killing it. So I went out (big game hunting) with a ziplock soup container/lid and a large spackle knife. The plan (which worked) was to cover it with the soup container and slide the spackle knife as a temporary lid so I could get it off the wall. When I got back out there, it was gone! Oh no... I couldn't let this thing loose to terrorize me. So I hunted around with the flashlight and found it not too far away and got it. Brought it inside and my wife said "wow, that's bigger than I thought it was from the picture. She knew what it was right away. It's a wolf spider. Apparently people handle thise things like they do tarantulas ::shivers:: NOT me, NOT now, NOT EVER! I have decided though not to kill it. Instead, I'm going to drive it far away to a hiking trail that I know of and let it go on something where I can snap some more photos of it. SCAAAAAARY!!!!

Just to give an idea of size, the bricks on the front of my house are standard 8 inch wide by 2 and 2/3 high by 4 inches deep. So the body was about an inch long and the legs made it even more huge!!
