Thought you might like this one, bro… The Makaiwa Special!
Looks like you’ve got a sexy brunette in your arm…The way it should be…
Was the next photo of you kissing it…???..French style…???..
I couldn’t: her new fiancé was the one taking the photo…
If it needs a home ?..you know…herb
Herb, I would gladly have kept her at home. But you know girls, don’t you? Always looking for something or someone else. She went away with another one.
Well, at least he paid for her.
i was looking at my quiver today…roughly 12 boards…4 are in need of dyer repair or resto…like waves…there’s never enough.
time to update my quiver.
i’m serious!!! we need to meet (hopefully)…i see…i see… a great surf session in there.
herb
…money’s good !
…balsa,
did you get that set with a commerative box,and silver belt buckle ?
my buddy over in vale,az. has one in .357…i believe they came in .44 mag as well.
i’ve owned several revolvers in my time…but my favs…are my 17hmn and ruger gp100 ,in a 4".of all the revolvers i’ve handled…the gp is one of…if not the best double action revolver for out of the holster speed and point of aim.
there’s nothing wrong with that wesson…besides it being a collectable…it’s very rugged and reliable.also pleasing to the eyes.
the gp is not so pretty,but like your wesson…it was designed by it owner/founder.
if you ever run into a gp 100…put it on a leash and take it for a walk…i think you’ll like it.
herb
It came in a plastic box with four barrels, two grips, four sights, two thickness gauges, one tool for unscrewing barrels/grips but no silver belt buckle. It’s a .357. Deadly accurate with the 8" barrel.
I will keep my eyes open for a Ruger GP 100, thanks for the advice.
came in a felt lined, walnut box …ya…now that you mention it… i remember the minor tools/sights, and a set of wood and plastic grips…2"-8" barrels…the belt buckle only came in that original series…i almost got one of the stray buckles a few years ago …he wanted like 100usd firm…i could justify that price on my current budget…the buckets are serial numbered to the gun set…it’s a shame to separate them…but i see them out there in split up…barrel sets and all…i guess we should stop talking firearms or we’ll be spammed by the man…micheal paler !..lol.

while I was away my wife told me makaiwa was breaking
it takes a rare direction NNE for it to break
and it needs a North wind too…
the day you posted I was helping my mom
take the big drop into the next dimension
It always strikes me when the presence
of cosmic coincidence surfaces
and the eyes of coincidence
reveal above the surface of the water
like a swimming aligator.
I have been taking the wonderful pen
you gifted me to write and draw
cosmic response to my experience
with hospice and passing.
Thankful and honored to have you
in my cosmic and telepathic family.
bitchin board makaiwa would love to suspend
that balsa form in weightless grace in the shadow of her
watery bosom…aloha moikeha,
the man who invested
his life at makaiwa.

Ambrose, I’m really sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences
and Makaiwa was junk during that swell
dr.devlin
muchas gracias.
makaiwa flowed
with the blood
that is the silt
of the wailua
canyon from
the land to the deep.
the tears that flowed at passing
were not as deep as now, a slow
quiet submarine grief for an all
encompassing sorrow healing
over the pain of birth,Just woke
from a sleep after the sunday
paddle up Wailua .
Andy’s new board maiden voyage
what a relief to finish , paddles
like a dream ,
merrily merrily merily.
life is but a dream.
wind in the face both ways
and glassy…
only two people on the trail
surf today is xxxxxxxooooooo
flat …
…ambrose…
Ambrose,
Mom…gone. There is a kind of sadness in that unlike others.
Sometimes years later I will still encounter my parents in dreams. And then realize “No, wait, you’re gone.” and wake up with that particular sadness again. They are always there and yet always gone from now on.
Keep paddling.
