I'll tell you a story about bicycling. I use to bicycle up the Mililani hill for work with 60-lbs of tools on the bike's racks. We were building track houses up the hill and the more we built, the further up the hill the work site moved. After five-months I was barely making it in by the 7am start. The nice thing was pau hana, I coasted down the entire hill only having to peddle at the start to get the bicycle rolling. There's a girl who use to live in our apt. building. She moved to Haleiwa and one day she decided to peddle all the way to town through the Kipapa gulch road.RONWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685861839372504999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861755739015456730.post-10739192483031377132010-02-11T08:57:23.870-10:002010-02-11T08:57:23.870-10:00Seems like my idea has caught on.

I imagine driving on the mainland you'd tend to rack up a lot more mileage quicker than on an island. Over 100K and all that. Fortunately those are highway miles and not city. I haven't heard of a single case of gas pedal malfunction in our state as of yet. Toyotas in Hawaii are usually from Japan factories, or at least, that's what the spokesman said on tv news.RONWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685861839372504999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861755739015456730.post-76943418656949317912010-02-10T18:14:33.945-10:002010-02-10T18:14:33.945-10:00Cloudia- enjoying the snow, LOL.

They basically sprayed foam everywhere. Stinky.
