Where are you?

Well  the pay is good and i need OJT before i can start moving my way back to the Inland Northwest, if the tornados don't get me tthe summer heat will. It ain't exactly hell .... but i can smell it from here. PS the ground doesn't shake much up there atleast on my side of the state, but when it desides to snowit gets with the program.

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I am surrounded by ocean, but haven't been to the beach in 15 years or so.  (Anyone remember that funny photo of how to spot a modeler based on their tan lines?)

BTW, after chatting with an older gent while on vacation in England, I would like to quell the rumor that Hawaii is overrun by drug money and machine guns.  I think he confused reality with the TV show "Hawaii 5-O".  Oh, and we refer to flip-flops as"rubbah slippahs" here.  And the local dialect is not "the bird", it's pidgin.  No one EVER said they "speak da bird".  And dat, braddahs, is your Hawaiian lesson fo today!

I'm just one of those " Howlie " fans of the original series.

I kinda presume tv shows do not necessarily reflect reality.

I keep intending to visit the islands but never seem to have both time and money simultaneously.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hee hee!

I used to watch the original series too when I was a kid.  The only story I remember was the one where a guy gets a cone shell for a present, and gets stung by it and dies.  It stuck in my mind because I had a shell collection that had one of those cone shells.  When I looked it up at the library (see how long ago that was) I was surprised to find out that the snail's sting was indeed deadly.  And I have seen live specimens when I used to go scuba diving.

Oh, and the main police station did not look like the one depicted in the show.  I think they used a mainland locale (LA?).  The new show uses Iolani Palace, not the actual less photogenic station which is only a couple of blocks away.

I am surprised to hear the new show used the Iolani Palace.

I somehow never watched the new series.

The original series used the palace as the setting exterior but , IIRC, filmed the series inside sets constructed in warehouses.

I think my favorite episode was with Hume Cronyn

Over Fifty? Steal !

My favorite H-5-O prop was a Yellow Dodge panel truck hot rod from the episode

Manchester, NH

In the Minneapolis- St Paul area.  Won't bother with longitude, but only a few miles from 45th parallel.  That was important because the company I worked for was big in Inertial Navigation systems.  They built a lab right exactly on the parallel (it ran through the company property) and built in a star port pointing up at North Star.  Spent some effort because it reduced the math a bit when aligning test systems and doing data analysis.

Would that be Sperry, Don?

I am in Lincoln, Nebraska, which is in the southeast part of the state. If you are traveling through Nebraska on I-80 the Strategic Air and Space Museum is located between Lincoln and Omaha about a 15 minute drive from the interstate. The static displays include a SR-71, U-2 and B-36 among others.
