It’s nice and quiet…

At 0500…

Mainly because anybody with any sense is still in bed…

Grumble…

But there IS a bright side, I’m not dealing with Honolulu traffic!

Hope y’all are having a good Friday… Only three more days of this…

  1. I was in Honolulu last month and was shocked at how much it has brown since the 60’s. The traffic is as bad a New York City. It took us an hour to go from the airport to the hotel, 7 miles away, in Waikiki. Walk if you can. The pedestrian traffic is heavy but moving and polite.

  2. And to add the rain over that last couple of days, traffic just sucks.

    The rain is also keeping from hitting the range out at Kokohead.

  3. There are worse places to be, but you know that because you’ve been there, too. 🙂

    Hang in there, friend.

  4. Nice pic! But I don’t care how pretty dawn is, I’ve decided that being up at that hour is against my religion.

  5. 0500, Your burning day light Mister!

    Always a nice time to enjoy the peace and quiet.

  6. 0500? Why would anyone be up so early there? Even the Japs did not get there until 0755 in 1941.

    I will trade you days even up, right now. You take mine and I’ll be up at 0500 in Hawaii.

  7. Drove from Philly to western PA to visit friends today. Cold rain for most of trip. Not exactly feeling your pain. (Wry grin).

  8. I like to pack Chili-Cheese Fritos (FRE?) when I go to such lovely places where survival snacks are needed. Safe travels home.

  9. Ed- I meant to post this Friday, it was actually Thursday AM. WX has gone to s**t since then… Rained the last two days and flooding…

    gfa- Oh HELL yes!

    CP- Yep!

    LL- Pretty much.

    Rat- Envy you that. We’re doing 12/12s…

    Rev- Adak is starting to look good… sigh

    PH/Gerry/WSF- Actual get up is 0130… dammit…

    Murph- See above… 😛

    John- Well, there IS that… 🙂

    6 shot- I haven’t seen them in the exchange, nothing but body building stuff… USMC and all that…

  10. Bitch, bitch, bitch. You get a bunch of free trips to Hawaii, and all we do is listen to complaints. Besides, 0500 there is what, 1100 here? Are you bragging or complaining?
    Yeah, the time zone changing sucks, and you really don’t get to do any sightseeing. Safe travels, see you when you get back into this time zone.
    🙂

  11. Hey, easy now, partner. I spent four years of my life over there for the good of the country and the welfare of the service. Darned tough duty it was, too. 🙂

  12. I liked the sunrise off of Pati’s Point on Guam when we were recovering B-52’s. God that was a long time back.

  13. WN- I’ll GLADLY send you on the next one… 😛

    BobF- I did three at Barbers, still don’t like the locals…

    Ed- You had that, we had the flight attendants from the various airlines at NAS Agana, that’s a fair trade! 😀

  14. Flight Attendants were not in my pay scale back then, but I did like to look. I do remember some Aussy girls at a bar down that way.
