got sidetracked by pinterest. lol I did love the strand and spent a lot of time there. I worked at the Elissa, and got to sail on her twice which was amazing!! Even though I was 8 months pregnant the first time.
I've heard great things about Galveston...had friends who were deep sea divers who loved resting in Galv. Never been to TX so I have no way to compare. We have tons of waterfront around this area, but you have to be nearly a millionaire to afford living on it. So we live a couple miles from it and are happily satisfied.
oh man, I soooooo wanna visit Hawaii some day. Totally an island girl at heart and living in Galveston just didn't cut it! hehehe had some real Kona coffee one time (not the 10% mix in the bags) and it was soooooooo good. Sorry I made ya hungry. I haven't eaten yet and now I'm starvin! lol and I want some coffee.
I still have Kona coffee beans shipped to me from the Big Island, others from a friends plantation on Maui.
Ditto that. I traveled to mostly Oahu on business all of the 80's, had a home on Maui until '94. Couldn't stay at it more than a few weeks before the island became too small and had to go back to the main home stateside. Love the climate, the food, the activities, and especially the native people. I guess I'm not really an island kind of guy even though I am an ocean guy that was an active Marine Biologist nearly 45 years ago.
The place I've lived that I miss the most is Carmel, CA, "during the era I lived there". That was from '71 to '76, and while it is still a very special place it's not the same place it was then.
Great friend to have!!
I don't miss Galveston. It had some great stuff, but it was just so dirty. The water and beaches were filthy, the prices for everything went sky high during the season. and yes, it became all about the money. Haven't been there in many years though, probably around 25 years since my dad died.
I do miss one particular restaurant though.....it was owned by a greek family on the strand, but not really a great restaurant, although they did make some wonderful baklava. I loved their fried snapper! Me and a g/f who also worked at the Elissa would go there for lunch sometimes.

I know, right? Don't get used to it...I'll be crawling back into my hole again soon enough. This is one of those rare weeks where I have some time on my hands. I should be cleaning and organizing and tons of other stuff...but today....I'm working at my desk and taking things easy.
Did you like my nice dangs? I didn't think dang, but you probably figured that out! LOL!
Im new to reos, I have three. But two need the upgraded contacts. So im trying to figure out what I need to do it. Or maybe I should just send them to rob to fix. Does any one know how he charges for things like that?
I don't know what he charges, have you saw this? There's not much to rebuilding one.

If you can follow the video you can do it. But a lot of people had problems with installing the gaskets on the center post. Robert will let you know in a PM what he charges. it is really worth it to send them to him.
ABSOLUTELY. . .
That's another thing I used to do before vaping. I need to go back there and check out things. It was fun at one time. 8 months pregnant was a good time for me. I road a Harley, saw Alabama in concert and went to see a male strip show. I miss riding.
