Me and better half just went to Hawaii maui last winter, and drove about 100ml around an iland in a jeep, it was awesome and locals flew by us like we were getting in a way and I thought I was doing good passing everyone else. It was expensive but something both of us wanted to do and figured if we didn't do it now we'd never get it done. Views were amazing and very similar to pictures above plus the ocean. 

I've also done a few of the Hawaii islands. Awesome place to go. Also done a bit a scuba diving off the islands too. Man that was a long time ago back when I was in my 20's.

Let go grab a beer!  Isn't there a BBQ place just to the north of the hwy 119 and hwy 46 intersection?  I'm in town today and tomorrow, and then again next weekend

That sounds good. I'll let you know when I'm back up there. Probably will be toward the end of the month. back in NM for a few weeks 

Here's my "other place".... in Sterling, CO. Not much here besides industrial parks and farm fields, but they do have a Walmart. Biggest town in NE Colorado. 

@trreed Do you ever get out around the Tamarack ranch? Jumbo reservoir?

Not a pretty outdoor picture, but my dodge on the jobsite.

Got a little under ground retention going on there I see. What are you building and whats your part in it? This is usually where my truck sits most of its life.

I'm the site guy for StormTech chambers in New England. Work with the contractor to make sure they install the systems correctly and don't crush them. Huge industrial park going in. One of many systems, I think they end up tying into some swale and then a creek, after water quality treatment in our system.

 

@CTcummins24V I have used the system on 3 or 4 jobs. I sure had my doubts about putting them under a parking lot. It is amazing how strong they are when installed properly. It is good product. My last job had a sand filter in the parking lot. My first messing with one of these. It is there more for filtration than retention although it does meter the flow of water down stream. This is by far the biggest structure I have ever installed on a CFA site. It is also the biggest hole I have ever dug on any job I have run.

The hole was 120' long and 70' wide at the top and 16' deep on the right end down to 12' on the left. Every spoonfull of dirt that came out of the hole was petroleum contaminated. Turned into a $300,000 + extra just for the hole.

Nice @dripley! We've got a sand filter going in now.

 

Cool Work you guys are doing.

 

Here is a Vid of my last job before meeting up with IBMobile at our mountain lake camp. This was built in the 30's and got it going again after many years with new bearings, feed box overflow trough. Me and a fabricator designed and he built the gate and we both installed .I hope you like it.

Nothing like old technology.Still works centuries later.

Finally got that link to open, nice job @JAG1 , Does that wheel drive something? None the less it's a cool water feature

Next year gets the generator hooked up to it. We figure it has approx. 18 horses. It was built to supply power to 3 of the original cabins around there. I was glad to be a part of getting it going again and learned a lot on why the engineers did their  design/ plans on the poured concrete spillway back then. It is well planned and smart.

 

BTW, the wheel is approx. 7 feet in diameter.

Wish I could reduce the size so it would load faster for you guys. It's very interesting to me. There's a point in the video when it looks like it stops, but its just me holding the phone recorder very still. So keep watching.

Does it seem early to you Mike? Seems like we are burning wood earlier this year.

Slightly early... Typically I'm winterizing at about October 20th. This year we are seeing 35*F mornings at September 24th... It should warm up this week but for how long who knows... 

We saw 42*F early on the 22nd. Been lighting small fires last couple days. Typically I winterize about mid November out here on the west side of Cascades.

 

That was a tough end of summer for us out West with all the smoke and heat.
