Maybe someone snuffed Santa Coke.
Could have been the Princes of the Pure-See cartel : Cash-Bar, that dealing rapper Mel Kilo, and 8-Ball Tha Czar.
Enjoying a bowl of Kaschi on the lanai after an early morning stroll along the beach. Surf has been a little high over the past two days so it limits the bodysurfing but that allows time for exploring. Yesterday was halfway up Haleakala. Nice houses, nice views and of course a smile on every face.
Cal - have you done sunrise from the top yet? An almost literally out of this world view - pack a sweater
We got a similar warning last night. It expired today at 2PM, but it is still cold and windy.
This morning the thermometer read 4F (-15C) there was a fairly strong wind resulting in a reported -10F (-24C) wind chill. By noon it was up to 10F (-12C) but the wind was much worse, so I decided that the rest of the day would be spent down in the basement with a hot soldering iron.
Similar weather is expected for the next two days, followed by snow on Thursday and Friday......
OH, wait....I just got another warning on my computer....

I read an article about a candy company that told their sales staff that if they made their numbers, the sales meeting would be in Hawaii, if not, Fargo. Guess where they had the meeting?
Hey Chris,
I haven't been up for the Haleakala sunrise for quite a number of years and there are no immediate plans. I kinda like the fact there's no alarm clock beside the bed. 😉
The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.
