What he said (except not in a manly way ) You would've been proud of me on Friday - I took the Forester to the drag strip... and got 17.9 twice! Take care there!

Thanks guys! Today was my first official day as gallery owner. It was exahausting to say the least. I had MUCH to learn from a friend and the former gallery owner. He's got this art sales thing down pat.

I'd really like to do the hunting/fishing thing, but work is a full time thing from 9 to about 7ish everyday. There is a dragstrip in Mana (ALL the way on the west side. I live all the way on the East side) that is open once a month. I've been getting the best gas mileage ever here. Oddly, most of my driving is freeway driving, which is good for mileage. One thing I observed. People here go through twisty roads pretty quickly, even in lifted trucks. The normal flow of traffic will be about 15mph over the limit in the turns (!).

Since I've been here, I've considered shipping my stock suspension up here and getting a dedicated set of wheels/tires for offroad duty. Let's face it, sometimes ground clearance is a great thing. I know I'll be doing a search shortly, but off the top of your heads, does anybody know of a good (f*cking tough) offroad suspension? I'm hearing good things about Ohlins. I may also look up the Tein Gravel strut/spring combo. Can we say rally Forester? I would also like to bulletproof my undercarriage, meaning a lot of protective plates and diff protectors.

Well, I'll continue to keep you guys updated. Take care, HIIC.

Hey Josh,

One of my best friends lives over there on Kauai in Kapaa I think. She took me to this crazy beach where if you cross the highway and hike up the mountain about 5 minutes or so you find this cave that has water on the bottom that goes really deep and is cold!

You should go there and do some skinny dipping!

BTW at least now the air fare is really cheap for inter-island...I think I read that it's $40 each way, right?

Are you the only one working at the gallery or do you have a few employees that can cover the store when you're out doing your thing?

Right now, I'm training under the former owner. But after that, I'm running it alone.
