Hawaii is offended by many things that can "affect the aina". Typical overreaction.

Off Topic / Re: Why Buy an Older Vehicle?
« on: August 11, 2026, 07:33:36 AM »
New and old has it's pros/cons.
Older cars don't have much eletronics, so cost less to fix as the mechanic doesn't have to run a scan for something simple like a bumper replacement. Some shops don't carry the specific scanning for a model of car as it's expensive and they don't do enough work for that model. And newer cars take longer due to the complexity to install stuff. But depending on the age, finding parts for the older cars could be an issue.
But with older cars, in general, more problems due to milage/age.
If you're a DIY repair kind of guy, generally older cars have less parts to move to get to other parts.

"brand new 1984 Toyota". lul.
TBH, I don't see myself spending $2K on a ceramic coating. Esp if you wash/was regularly. But the arguement is with ceramic, you don't have to "wash" as often. Just spray car with water and dry.
The reason why good ceramic is expesnive is the prep work. Any impurities will get stuck and "coated over".
It also depends how often you will drive the car. Is it a daily driver or weekend? If not a daily, I wouldn't waste money to have it professionally ceramic. Just clay bar and wax and maybe anti static to repel dust and stuff since it's sitting. If it's sitting ungaraged, then nevermind, just wash as needed and keep a quick detailer on hand.
There are many youtube and online reviews of ceramic brands, so find out which one the detailer uses. But again, for a 1985 Toyota, I'd DIY if I were to ceramic coat it.

Everyone needs to do their part this coming legislative session. I can highly assume the state will try to find ways around this. Like more bans, but specific ones. "private property open to the public" is too narrow, so they will try
Retail
Markets
Professional offices
etc
Just my opinion. Then F-U, sue us is what they're going to expect.

« on: August 04, 2026, 07:24:23 AM »I soo hope it comes down to Gary vs Josh in November, two haole guys and NO ROOM for Identity Politics!
Let's see Josh Greed try and weasel his way outta this one, We need Gary to do the Trump thing where he sits there and points the finger back at Green, call him out on Lahaina
call him out on his failed "Green tax", call him out on the increasing crime rates, etc.
What's funny is that if you look at signs on peoples fences and stuff, if they have a haole last name, often the asian middle name is included. Same with the Cherry Blossom contestands. Haole last name, so puts japanese middle name on poster.

For LT Gov and GOP, the only person who picked up their phone was Margaret. She's pro 2A. Semi auto rifles, unlimited mag capacity, CCW anywhere, etc...all OK with her.
Gary for Gov came to the range some years ago and stated his stance and was the same as the above. IDK about the other GOP guy.

« on: July 10, 2026, 04:34:56 PM »Apologies if this has been addressed, but regarding the no guns signage that businesses are posting, do these signs carry the weight of law? I've tried to find the answer but haven't been able to find anything definitive. There has been a lot of media coverage about the signs but none have addressed this aspect. I know that if i go to a casino in Las Vegas, they all have no firearms allowed signage but those signs do not carry the weight of law. My understanding is that if someone is "caught" carrying they are asked to leave the premises or risk getting trespassed. Is this the same case for Hawaii or if someone is caught carrying at a business with a no gun sign can they be criminally charged with something?
IMO, they don't carry the weight of the law (Oahu) becuase the ROH states the default status, which is the automatic ban. Since the default is now void, that would make the no guns allowed signs put up have no weight of the law.
For Vegas, most casinos will tell u to check ur gun 1st.

I played the Bonus feature at the craps table, the all small, all tall, and the all. Hit the small and tall several times (pays 31 to 1) Good fun! Several times all we needed was one number to hit the ALL (151 to 1) but it never hit. I played those bets two way, meaning I also bet for the dealers alongside with me. The dealers get so excited when we place bets for them on the bonus.
I like go again but I have to wait a while. I lost too much money, LOL!
The ATS has bad odds to win,but it entertains me. I made the decision a few years ago to always play it. B4 I would play every other 7 that rolled, but then it would often hit when I'm not playing it. So after that happened so often, I decided to either play it or not at all. It sucks cause I don't play the pass line, so when a 7 comes, I end up losing money. 1 time Mrs.CMO threw 3 7's. So then I bet big red for $5 and she rolled 2 more 7s. THen she finally established a point.

« on: June 25, 2026, 11:16:45 AM »https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-second-amendment-win-concealed-carry-blue-state-gun-hawaii
with today's Supreme Court's Ruling, where do we now stand in Hawaii?
(1) Do we still need a permit to carry concealed handgun? I presume, yes? Yes, you still need a CCW permit.
(2) Can we now carry concealed handgun on private property that is open to the public (e.g., shopping malls, grocery stores, etc.) without the owner's permission? Yes
(2a) Can we now carry concealed handgun in banks and hospitals without the owner's permission. No, only banks since that was what the 9th circuit ruled. There was no lawsuit about hospitals.
(2b) Can we now carry concealed handgun in private property that is open to the public (e.g., shopping malls, grocery stores, etc.) that have the "No Guns" signage (like the Cheesecake Factory shown above?. I'm clarifying this, but it sounds like since there is no state law about no guns allowed signage, Oahu (ROH) has a county law that has no guns allowed signagre requirements. Other county's would vary too.
(3) Can we now carry concealed handgun on public property like parks and beaches? No

The auto makers have already made it nearly impossible to fix anything without hundreds of dollars worth of diagnostic tools. I got a new scanner but will never have enough knowledge to be able to use it properly!!? Pass laws to force them to make cars and trucks that can be repaired by the people DRIVING them!!! ---Well most of us!!!?
This is what's making it harder and more expensive to fix newer cars in HI. Mom n pop mechanices cannot afford to buy every program for every car. Too many sensors per car

If you've been denied for a permit to acquire, try apply again. Recent SCOTUS ruling states the state cannot deny you based on Pakalolo.
Tell friends and family.

Then if they still deny you, LMK.
