Aloha: The other week I went on craigslist. I want to buy "junk silver" (pre-64 dimes, quarters, halves and dollars) for their melt value and got 3 weird replies. I am willing to pay 10x face for the coins. There is a guy who puts full page ads in the local paper and sets up shop in the Naniloa Hotel and pays 5x face for the coins. Too bad the shipping from the mainland is so high; makes the cost of the coins higher to get them to Hilo.

Right now I am sitting my mo'opuna and he wants to sit where I am sitting. When I am on the computer he wants to be on the computer; when I play with his Lego's he wants to play; when I watch TV he wants to watch TV. Too bad my friend, Author Itis, keeps bugging me so I can not chase him or turn my legs so I am limited as to what I can do outside. I go to see my bone doctor later this month, hopefully he will be able to give me a magic bullet and fix my knees and right hip so I can run and play. I would settle for just being able to walk for more than a few hundred feet.

I got a call from the issurance company and my truck will not be ready for about 2 more weeks. More damage was found when they started repairs, so had to order more parts. Oh well, they are paying for the Charger.

The volcano is SOS. We did have a nice 3.6 earhtquake the other day that some people felt, but not me. That's it for today. Love to all and may God bless.
