Competing at the next level
If linebacker Dylan McCagg were to fill out a UH information sheet, he could list his vertical reach as 14,000 feet.
As part of his conditioning program, McCagg recently made the winding 15-mile hike up Colorado’s Mount Evans.
“It’s pretty high,” McCagg said of the trek. “There aren’t a lot of 240-pound mountain climbers, for sure. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
He said it took eight hours to ascend; three hours to descend.
“Mountain climbing is not a passion of mine,” he admitted. “I do it for exercise.”
McCagg, who was raised in Denver, is prepared for another journey when he joins the Warriors in a few weeks. He was an NCAA qualifier as a Kent Denver High School senior in 2008, and his junior college transcripts should be approved soon by UH’s admissions department.
“I’ll definitely be there before (the start of training) camp in August,” McCagg said.
McCagg, who is 6 feet 2, was a standout in football and lacrosse in high school. Kent Denver’s lacrosse team won the state title when McCagg was a senior. He never considered playing lacrosse in college.
“I wanted to play football,” he said.
He was a walk-on at SMU in 2008, former UH coach June Jones’ first season at the Dallas campus.
“I was on the scout team, and didn’t have too much interaction with (Jones),” McCagg recalled. “I talked to him once, and he told me I was in the wrong spot. He was a good coach. He’s really soft-spoken. He’s a smart guy.”
McCagg quit the team before the season ended. Later, he reclaimed his passion for football.
“I figured junior college was my best option,” he said.
He enrolled at San Diego Mesa College, where a Kent Denver graduate was on the coaching staff. McCagg was a two-year starter.
After the 2010 season, he received a scholarship offer from Division II schools. He waited, then received an offer from a I-AA school. Then he ran into UH defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who was evaluating prospects on the West Coast. Soon after, Aranda called McCagg, saying the UH coaches were impressed with his football videos.
With no scholarships available, McCagg was asked to join UH as a preferred walk-on. He accepted
“I can’t wait to get out there,” said McCagg, who will compete as an outside linebacker. At San Diego Mesa, which ran a 4-3 scheme similar to the Warriors’, McCagg was used as middle linebacker, weakside linebacker and defensive end. He will have two years to play two UH seasons.
Here’s his highlight video: Dylan McCagg.

I’ve watched enough Godfather movies to know this is an omen:
Foist!
All right first comment: ST you know I have to ask about Tate Forcier
I MEAN 2ND COMMENT 😛
That was fast… no photos to look at first. 🙄
Good luck to Dylan McCagg!
I’ll try to find out today.
Five – you’re a five alarmer charmer…
6-7-8-9 and 10
It’s fun to wander through the alphabet with you……
ST I hope Tate actually gets a chance to visit the campus
Just feeling a little mischevious this morning before I go out and go my morning walk. I saw SteveM’s posting and thought of the Alphabet Song…..
Have a good day, everyone!
Jay Dee — Welcome to the blog!
mornin’
All good Warrior fans should be snoozing at this late hour. I guess I better listen to my own advice.
Thanks SteveM
…or so I think Jay Dee is a new blog name. After almost 5 years, the first-name-only (or names that could be phonetically initials) result in many possibilities. For example, there is a “Jay” from 2006, a “Jay from Pearl City”, etc.
Some things indicate that Jay Dee has been around the blog a while. But short of an IP trace…again, Welcome to the blog, Jay Dee! 🙂
Article on Chad Owens. CFL opens this weekend.
http://argonauts.ca/article/owens-comes-full-circle
Thanks for the Owens link.
18!
Orange?…
I love seeing the different things our Warriors do to stay in shape. I also love seeing how enthused new guys are at becoming Warriors and joining our ‘ohana.
Good luck and keep at it, Dylan McCagg!
Merry Aloha Friday Eve!
An early welcome to new Warrior, McCagg!
Going to new heights!!!
Dylan McCagg…I like what I see!, has a good nose for the ball. Hope w/fingers crossed he does the same thing at D-1; like his size as well.
Keep going Chad Owens……so very happy with your success.
Gotta sit through an 8 hour class today.
Yawn.
At least the sun breaks out tomorrow!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Good luck to Dylan. There’s one guy who won’t be affected by altitude. Morning to the early risers.
ST and others: what kind of an omen does it signify?
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Good luck to Dylan!
Hi Midnight! Looking forward to seeing and singing with you and Barbara and cheering for the Warriors at UNLV for sure!
Speaking of football, I hope to attend 3 home games at the end of the season. Debating on whether to pick up single tickets or getting season tickets this year. .???
ST. You playing with Mia in the tomato garden?
Protector:
I’m with you on #26.
ST please enlighten us on the “omen” for an orange.
Are you telling us the UH will play in the Orange Bowl in 2012? Hope so! Never been to Miami.
al:
luv your #141 from last night – you’ve got supporter #2 on your 2 points that turned out to be 6, but that’s OK!!!
What’s our plan of attack? Start with Tsaikos and other rabid fans – go radio? SA? outer island newspapers? TV? talk to JD and Chancellor Hinshaw?
I stay with you!!!!
Great Morning All!
Way to go Dylan! Things are looking up!
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS x2
ST,
what does the orange have to do with anything?
Go, Dylan!
Go, Chad! (Loved the article.)
I like what I see on film about McCagg as he seems to explode at the point of contact. Moves his feet well and runs through creases to reach the ball carrier. Not too much film on pass coverage, but he looks to be a good hitter and have good instincts. Not sure on the competition he played against. I have to trust Aranda and the coaches. No lose situation for the program. He’s a walk-on so he has to prove himself. If he impresses maybe he gets a scholarship for the next semester or the year after. If not, he continues to be a walk-on.
But, the Warriors have given him a chance and that’s all he wanted so that’s great.
P.S. Good size for a LB.
All the best to Dylan McCagg.
I can’t wait until he becomes captain of the UH Lacrosse team.
#16 – sff
Thanks for the article on Owens.
CO2 is the man!
Good morning,
Tate Forcier has signed with the University of Miami as of today. He will be eligible to play in 2012 after sitting out this year.
ahouse…perhaps i should enlighten you about those orange omens?
surely, you jest?
those oranges well…..tell you later. do i still have your email?
#36,
Could you link a site to verify that?
maybe our Lacrosse team could give McCagg a scholarship.
McCagg has a nose for the ball, stalks and moves well in traffic and has size. he is a hitter and mature. heplays smart! positive upsides to contribute.
i can see good reason for aranda inviting him to walkon at this late date. as i mentioned previousily, our LBs are the best unit on eitherside of ball for warrior team 2011. McCagg makes us stronger. warrior 2011 are deeper than i can remember any other team in the past at this position…. dick tomey will have a great reservoir of talent to draw from for his STs.
aloha and welcome to our ohana, dylan, best wishes as a warrior.
al:
I would not “jest” with you. I’am serious about the Orange Bowl. They passed on UH in the 2008 Sugar Bowl and regretted it to New Orleans great financial gain!!!
Good morning, gang!
Welcome, Dylan! You’re going to have a good time hiking Koko Head with your teammates.
orange?
#36,
I find it hard to believe that Miami is THAT desperate for a QB that they would allow him to resign when he decided against it all of 3-4 months ago.
ahouse…no, no, no.
i was referring to the orange omen.
nothing to do with the orange bowl…seriously. where do you get these notions from?
okay…i’ll email you.
didnt tate originally nix on miami saying it was too far from his home?
and chris wallace calls michele bachmann a flake?
he should interview forcier, he gives new meaning to the word.
#38…are you sure that is not old stuff?
okay, gonna look for the little birdie.
#46,
That is what I was thinking. Waiting for Roy Ueoka to reply with a link to see if its something current.
Good Morning Gangeez!:)
Welcome to the Warriors, Dylam McCagg! “Kulia i ka nuku”!
Tsai said he was gonna check on the Forcier situation today. Waitin’ for his words on it.
ahouse…did you read your family email?
49…no worry the little birdie is on his way.
Liz:
See, you watched the Godfather movies.
The orange was on the practice field.
McCagg will be helpful. Plus, he’s a freebie.
He’s another hybrid type for a defense that relishes hybrids.
*DPK fills the bird bath and puts out bird seed in anticipation of al’s littl friend showing up soon*
The only orange I recollect from the GF movies is the one Marlon Brndo stuffs into his face to scare his grandkids.
You scarin’ grandkids, Tsai? Doesn’t Brando’s charachter die not long after the orange thing?
ST, I remember the Godfather movies.
That was when Al Pacino was young and handsome.
But, I don’t remember seeing any oranges.
RE: #54
Kid — I think kal bi is more alluring for Al’s type of birdie. 😀
Looks like an NBA lockout is going to be imposed.
Talks broke down.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Welcome to the Warrior Ohana Dylan McCagg!
Go Mana! Go Mighty Mouse!
ST, take your meds! How’s your car?
From usefultrivial.com:
In The Godfather, when Don Corleone dies of a heart attack in the tomato garden, he has an orange in his mouth. The scene was actually improvised because the child actor playing Corleone’s grandson was having difficulty performing — he only reacted once Brando starting playing with the orange. However, the presence of the orange was no accident — oranges in all three Godfather movies suggest that a death may soon occur. For instance, Vito is shopping for oranges just prior to the assassination attempt on his life, Sonny drives past a billboard promoting Florida Oranges just before he is gunned down at the turnpike tollbooth, and Michael dies with an orange in his hand.
Jm:
Car is still nice and toasty.
I put in a bid for my son’s car while he’s away, but, alas, the wife scooped it up.
And don’t forget: If anyone is in Waikiki tomorrow morning at, say, 6:30, can you take some pictures of Warriors working out on the beach?
I’ll be deep in REM at that time.
Okay, the orange/ Godfather mystery is solved:
“The presence of oranges in all three “Godfather” movies indicates that a death or an assassination attempt will soon happen: Don Altobello tosses a kid an orange just before ordering Michael’s assassination. An orange rolls over the table just before the helicopter attack. Michael and Altobello are both seen drinking orange juice. Michael Corleone dies with an orange in his hand.”
We still dont know precisely what our enigmatic blog host is thinking…
ST, geez. I drink an orange juice smoothie every morning.
So far, I am still alive.
Next meeting between NBA owners and players union will be in two weeks.
I was at Ching field yesterday, and I saw an orange on the ground.
I thought of the Godfather movies.
Isn’t an orange juice smoothie redundant?
ST, I think you have to be Italian for an orange on the ground to mean anything sinister.
ST, here’s the recipe for my smoothie:
OJ
banana
frozen blueberries.
BLEND!
DRINK!
By the way, Im disappointed in the lack of Godfather fans on this blog.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know younger people think Scarface is a gangster classic, but Godfather had more memorable lines.
“I’m making you an offer you can’t refuse…”
Let’s see …
Blueberry dump cake with pineapples?
Orange smoothie with bananas and blueberries?
Yeah, I am creative.
“Leave the gun. Take the cannaoli.”
“Fredo, you’re my older brother and I love you. But never take sides against the family. Ever.”
“It’s not personal, Sonny, it’s strictly business.”
Then again, Godfather III was terrible.
That’s the problem with a trilogy.
As they say on Sesame Street, one of these things just doesn’t belong.
OK, it seems like everyone froze while waiting for me to stop rambling.
I’m done now.
You may resume.
Maybe TMI, but —
I was in love with a guy whose father had friends in the Mob in New York.
Thank goodness I didn’t marry the guy.
Hubby is squeaky clean.
Youz shoulda tried to get a statement from da orange, Mr. Tsai. Maybe its just there as a snack for one of da players.
Maybe the orange follows the rule of “omerta” and dint even want its picture taken. Youz better watch out for yaself Mr. Tsai.
Gonna leave for a bit, but for those who will come after me, the road to 100 is wide open and easy… 😉
DPK:
Not sure if oranges are violent by nature.
Now watch out for apples. They’re known for robberies. Just read the other day about an apple jack …
Hmmm. I suppose I could offer a UH T-shirt (XL) to the 200th post of the day (after I delete spam).
After absorbing the film on McCagg…….since he has the speed to get to the ball, and since you develope very strong hands, mountain climbing, etc., is there also a possibility that he might be able to contribute as a rb/fb in short situations???…hmmmmmm? lots off possibilities!?
orange-peel=stripper; just sayin, I don’t know knothin bout, stripper?
#64.
ur funnier than gracie bc ur not acting 🙂
Stephen- when I was in labor with ukuleleboi, I was pacing the halls and watching a movie… that’s right. The Godfather. Perhaps the best film of all time… so far.
😆
What color is the tee shirt???
another great Warrior interest story. and thanks for the Owens link sff.
I’m very concerned as Lois bought a whole bunch of oranges from Times and I just ate one now!
I forgot the kid’s name that we were so high on – he signed with Miami after a visit here and then transferred after a year there to, I think, Purdue, and of course no one has heard about him since.
Hope Forcier doesn’t repeat that sort of history (“the story is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent”)
i am glad you all finally got the 411 on the oranges.
here’s what i sent ahouse this morning…
http://www.jgeoff.com/godfather/oranges.html
Just noticed that we are fast approaching 100.
Time for Al for make his appearance (again) from Stage Right with birdie in hand.
“Maybe TMI, but –“
maybe? most all are TMI! lol
#86
Good one dad. Are you sure she’s not acting?
OK, guys, hurt gigi’s (aka gracie) feelings…
im still trying to piece out a tragic climax which the orange suggests that begins with a mountain climb in the chilly colorado sierra and ends on a warm day in hawaii at ching field.
no-lucky we live hawaii?
tommui…careful about what you say, you did have those oranges from the lovely lois.
I’m gonna have to rethink the way I behave around oranges. Maybe I shouldn’t allow myself to be near them.
So al, I set out seed and water for your little birdie. He will he she be comin’ round anytime soon?
Liz, if you were in labor, how in the world did you manage to pace the halls?!
,
what do psychiatrists say about those who talk in the third person?
Well – where’s Al?
Supposedly you can take an orange and stuff it into a sock, you can use it as a weapon and it won’t leave a bruise…. SUPPOSEDLY.
NOT true though for a sock filled with quarters.
As for Godfather being the “best movie of all time,” I don’t think so.
Sound of Music — that is the greatest!
no can beat the Shawshank Redemption.
101-
Gnashing his teeth because he missed the big one?
#93.
ur blog name demonstrates startling creativity, im sure u can fantasize a copy-cat response.
YES!!! Shawshank Redemption TRUMPS ALL!!!
Loved that movie!!!
Touching ending… two friends re-uniting on a beach near the Mexican border… *cough* *cough* no homo. no homo.
tommui…btw, a person of interest was telling me that their favorite chinese eatery was fook yuen. that person was born in viet nam though is of chinese ancestry.
so, i guess she would know.
Yyiikkess, I was eating an orange while reading the WB. Aloha everyone! Its been a great ride.
gigi – SOM ???? are you a member of the Wholeness???
gigi- ukuleleboi was a vbac baby… needed to get the body working… sis a lot of walking… a LOT of walking. That’s why they call it labor… hahahaa!
now i am thinking of the scallops and that lobster dish at fook yuen.
papajoe2 – eating the orange is ok. just don’t smile with a wedge between your teeth and chase your grandson in the tomato garden! 😈
al- think about salad please… I am getting hungry now…
lol. had to google it. talking in the third person is a possible link to narcissistic personality disorder.
orange you glad there’s google! time for Couch potato to feed Couch potato’s hunger pains. say goodbye Couch potato.
wow, that just empowered me!
you don’t say headline…
“Waiawa prisoners charged with escape”
DUH!
#115, maybe they found out that they escaped for real and was not only practicing thats why.
new uniforms?
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hoang/tops.jpg
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hoang/pants.jpg
#117 Not bad. I’ll wait to see what they look like on the field before deciding.
yah, if those are the new uniforms…i like it.
i think the linemen will especially like the slimming effects of those white pants and “skid marks’.
I like the unis too…
I gotta get use to those tire marks on the back of the pant legs. I like last years unis…
but, hey….where’s the black????
http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/18291
Solly, Solly, Solly!!!
i have a craving for sea urchin nigiri for some reason.
Oh- and ADAM LEONARD is there too!
al- I think that dark green with look black on the field…
Is it just my PC or are they hard to see.
Is that “mesh” or the tapa print on the lower gut and the sides of the tops?
d1shima cannot recall a player named, “ABCDEFGH”
#127- I think it’s just mesh because Maryland has the same thing around the gut area
He’s a walk-on from Deerborn, MI.
d1shima would like “slimming” effect to any of his clothes
Wait, aren’t these designs from that EA Sports team builder function in the video game?
d1shima avoids mesh
LizKauai avoids mesh AND spandex…
d1shima thinks d1shima would look awfully “mesh-y”
Couch potato looked at the Warrior roster to see what Couch potato could find and Couch potato concluded that the player might be the holy grail walk-on from Thailand.
man, this third person thing sucks when you have to type all the alphabets in your name.
mom couldn’t spell his name so ABC………
lol to mesh and spandex!
d1shima thanks Kevin for clearing up the question about the mystery player
d1shima is considering asking d1shima to rethink the 3rd person thing as d1shima becomes annoyed from the tedium of entering “d1shima”
Couch potato never knew there was an Asiana Airlines.
@#123
Thanks for that link Liz. I didn’t know Soloman Elimimian was the CFL Rookie of the Year last year.
Here’s a link for the top 30-11 players in the CFL. See who’s there!!
http://watch.tsn.ca/featured/clip492425#clip492425
Great comments after the list!
d1shima can’t have the “slimming” look and wear mesh-y clothes while yelping out all of his dining experiences on a daily basis.
sff – I think the CFL and UFL will be great for our Warrior alumni this year!
Mighty Mouse and Solly! Thanks for the link, sff!
Chad Owens= Instant Field Position
AL #108 – I like fook yuen – the name is a bit … well …
Lois’ cousin likes to take us there because of the pig’s feet and I think, chicken feet.
I like the chicken wings which is comparable to the ones at Yan King/Maple Garden and while eating them, I wonder where the rest of the chicken is, other than the feet.
DPK likes mesh and spandex, just as long as its not on DPK, Ralph, d1shima or al. Or bulla. Or pride.
Mesh and spandex look best on certain bodies of the fairer sex.
d1shima,
it helps to have a simple name like gigi to type. lol
Re: mesh.
ST mentioned that there would be “tribal designs” on the unis.
I really liked last years uniforms.
Why change them?
@#144
I agree Liz. The CFL and UFL would be great stepping stones to the NFL. Players get real playing time, game time. In my mind, it’s better than being on a practice squad in the NFL.
@#150
gigi, if you look closely, there seems to be some designs on the shoulder pad area, and in the tire track marks on the pant.
It would be useful if the stripes on the unis were a support-type of material. Keeping the hammies warm? Don’t know about that as just a design. Gotta see it on the field.
need the money!
Almost time for lunch.
Whatchu having?
Gigi,
try mixing oj with milk…very good, taste like orange-swirl ice cream or shake. I usually do 50/50, or depending on how my taste buds feel, 3/4 milk-1/4 OJ.
Cause can.
The mesh on the jersey looks like a belly bra. I would dump the skid marks. Opponents chasing ball carriers will end up falling down and rolling on the field laughing. Or maybe that is the intent????

Another look- Unis in action.
Haha that’s the 2008 uni!
MasaBoy just created a “tangerine” sorbet – some say it’s the best they have ever eaten!
Good article, I bet you get a lot of compliments ;P
you mean no one else has created a tangerine sorbet? if that is true then how can it be the best if there is no other to compare it with? okay if it is one of a kind then it must be the best. lol
Couch potato’s head is spinning.
Good afternoon, everyone!
The “skid marks” look awful. UH should make UA change the design to get rid of them, before some poor UH player is photographed wearing the uniform and the photos are circulated on the Internet and the player becomes a national laughingstock. The last thing we need is a repeat of what happened to Idaho a couple of years ago.
Good thing the tire tracks on the back of the pants are not yellow, or brown.
Need to be careful how the tapa design on the tire tracks appear. Might really look like tire tracks.
No word today from Mr. Tsai about Tate. Are things still fluid?
Today’s class was interesting. Helping to lead the charge to educator evaluation change.
YAY!
CFL is on ESPN3 and I am ecstatic
Football fix will be satiated right now
A strange lunch today. Others insisted we had to go to this one restaurant. First time I have ever had decent Korean food at a “Chinese” restaurant before. Decent gyoza, too. Chopsuey was the only thing on the menu that was “Chinese”. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Funny!

*Tate Forcier Update*
It’s been confirmed that Forcier has signed and enrolled at Boise State University.
…..
Hey if Roy Ueoka can do it…why can’t I? hah.
Oooh…. Adam Leonard fb’d that the NFL Network will be showing the game. Hope I can program this from work!
*Lindy’s MWC Preview*
I think its funny that one of the preview covers of the *2011 MWC*…yeah *2011*…has Hawaii Fresno and SDSU…2/3 whom are not even in the MWC lol.
Maybe in 2012 one of the preview covers will be BSU and 2 “?” silhouettes for the 2 members that will bring MWC to 12 members in the unknown future.
BC Lions are trailing 10-3 start of the second half.

I checked.
TF still interested in UH. At least that’s what I was told.
So, no, you don’t have to ask me again today.
Thanks, ST!
BC Lions down 16-3
#187,
Hmmm so the Boise State rumor isn’t true?…That’s strange.
ST,
Did he ever tell you why he is interested in UH? Of all the gin joints in all of the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
hahaha, hateme!
Solly gets a roughing the passer…
From fb- Alex Green says:
Had a good talk with Plaxico Learned alot about being a professional on and off the field. Faith, Family, Occupation.
Yikes… BC getting hammered!
24-3
makes me wonder why those canucks don’t change the way baseball and basketball is played since they changed the way american football is played.
#195 –
Funny, that’s true, eh.
TD Lions!
24-10
Almost halftime…
OK… gotta hiho

Glad NFL channel is showing CFL…
Anyone else listening?

I ask tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing Nalani and crew on Kauai to celebrate the 4th!
You won, Liz.
Can you text me your address again. I keep misplacing it.
😉
Argh… Montreal scores again.
27-10
Kolten Wong doing better so far today. 2-2, 2B, 2 runs scored.
Interesting that the catcher for the opposing team is Carlton Tanabe who graduated from Pearl City High School in 2009.
sample canuck baseball rule changes:
bases, 100 ft.
7 players instead of 9.
4 outs per inning but 2 strikes and yer out.
hit 4 consecutive foul balls and you are awarded 1st base.
no balks.
go Wong!
What?!?! Liz???
I want a recount!
Nah . . . just kidding! Congratulations, Liz!!!
Whoo-hoo for you!
Liz, my goodness, how many prizes have you won so far???
congrats!
too bad it’s not hubby’s size…
#210 . . .
There should be a joke in there.
Somewhere.
Dylan McCagg looks like a hitter with nice size as an outside linebacker. I love guys who can hit and unload on some candy pansy with the pigskin. I would welcome bruddah with open arms to the Warrior Ohana, we need to get back to unleashing vicious hits with great ferocity and bring back the title of the hardest hitting team period! Need some assasins on the field who just love knocking heads off and retiring people to the bench!
just got my HECO bill today.
$355.
those of you who have photovoltaic systems, what is your electric bill like nowadays?
Got the text, Liz. Thanks.
LOL, narcissistic personality disorder.
So BSU is out of the WAC (no representation already on WAC website)…A “new day” comes tomorrow.
How exciting.
Ah, Solly had a great game and the Lions almost came back but ended up with a FG and a loss by 4 points.
gigi- I have lost count… hahaha…
Have a great evening and Aloha Friday!
Congratulations LizK!
former ny congressman (d), anthony weiner, aka the “beltway sex-texter”, has a narcissistic personality disorder according to dr charles krauthammer.
he should know, he’s a psychiatrist, an American Pulitzer Prize–winning syndicated columnist and political commentator.
#185.
rule of thumb.
never buy preseason mags that use kinderkarten sized fonts.
they have little to say and are less accurate.
compare to phil steele, you need a magnifying glass. provides more info, details, team v team history and comprehensive roster coverage.
#215 gigi, neighbor’s 1st bill was $22. Last bill $120. Last month, not much sun. And they do have central air.
papajoe,
interesting. how long have they had the system?
doesn’t it deteriorate over time and become less efficient?
heco gets u either way. if u use their power they charge u for green energy rebates, not to mention rising energy surcharges. if you use green, u must use their grid and they regulate u.
there is a way to beat them–but it will cost u. so, it depends on your temperament, intelligence, deep-pockets and will to say, “shove-it” to the blood-sucking energy-greedy-mongols.
the cost of installation is prohibitive.
bingo! keep digging.
Gigi, neighbors just installed it. Only 2 bills so far. I had solar water for 2 1/2 years.
30% Federal tax credit
35% State tax credit
http://www.sunetric.com/solar-for-homes/incentives-and-rebates
so, who do think ultimately subsidizes those tax credits?
c’mon the public makes up the govts revenue chain. unless, they print obama money. then you pay through inflation. folks, it’s all smoke n mirrors. either way, matson, heco and the unions (govt) have got us all by the proverbial balls. unless you can produce ur own energy, grow your own food and do ur own labor. how many of us can do all three?
Good stuff today.
New player — nice to see if can go low and ankle tackle when needed.
Solly — 7 tackles in a losing effort, and LizKauiai is all over the CFL opener. Surprisingly the game was not sold out.
Kolten hitting well.
Dean Wilson on the leaderboard, but always fades on under pressure, I hate to say.
And some things never change, as our someone with a ridiculous electric bill remains off topic, as hubby wonders what the heck is wrong with in their world.
Was that orange really an omen?
Russian in the garden tonight and he hit a 70+ y.o. woman who was visiting one of our gardeners. Hope the cops find him. Never a dull moment with those “slugs”.
Less than the electric car you want to buy, and at least you’ll recoup your investment, unlike with the electric car. The system becomes less efficient if you don’t clean the panels.
Slugger,
ST mentioned yesterday that he probably will die in 10 years (especially if he forgets to take his meds).
Today, he saw the orange (omen of death in the Godfather movies).
I told him that applies only to Italians.
Guys,
thanks for your input regarding photovoltaic system.
Seems that in addition to the cost of installing the system, you need to install a new roof (no sense putting the system on an old roof) as well as new windows (with a tighter seal for a/c).
One thing leads to another.
Lots to consider.
Best uniforms were during the June Jones era!
Are we all still alive?
So the mad Russian is back?!

Good try al. U 2 late. The princess from Kauai garnered da prize.
Hey al,
What’s up with Forcier? At one pt, he supposedly going to San Jose St. Next, I hear he’s going to Miami again. Then today, ST says he’s still interested in UH. I’m so confused I decided to eat some popcorn.
DPK,
Yup. I’ll send you an email.
well…i counted 39 spams today.
rumors abound you see.
tate forcier visits miami gives acurt…follow the music. verbal commit.
on the way home tate says wow coast to coast dats too far(too many pit stops)
cancel miami already.
tate trips san jose state thats only 8 hours by 101 coastal highway.
san jose state media “leaks” a rumor.
but, seriously why would tate want to play in front of 8k fans every weekend?
time passes, tate says, “i am very interested in university of pass”
nobody believes him even tho’ he has spoken to the “truth” (aka st).
some miami local blogs that tate is back to miami.
the truth finds out that it is not so.
moral of the story don’t believe everything you read.
and does all this mean that perhaps a trip is being considered?
subliminal messages or more rumor?
…nuff said
wow, how did this get all jumbled up?
rumors abound you see.
tate forcier visits miami gives acurt…follow the music. verbal commit.
= curt…follow the music.
rumors abound you see.
tate forcier visits miami gives a verbal commit.
do i get an email too?
al,
U r confusing me so much. I have no clue what u r saying. A-House, pls tell me what al is talking about. I think it’s time for mo popcorn.
Forcier might be very talented. But, some of the stuff I’ve read about him scares me. So, I’ve got to trust in Coach Mack’s due diligence. But then again, I did warn Gib about that pt guard that couldn’t hack it and left the team last fall.
All right. Time to go nitey nite. Al confused me enough to make my head spin and get tired. Sweet Warrior dreams.
al,
It’s your and tommui’s fault! I went to Fook Yuen today for lunch and … Maple Garden’s buffet is better. I like to have bitter melon, choy sum, and the honey spareribs at Yen King.
Roasted a chicken tonight. Pretty good. Less salty than the rotisserie chickens at Sam’s.
You really want to know?
#234 ~ Ha! I was married to an Italian-American and lived with another in my younger days. So it sorta applies to what happened to me today.
fook yuen…need to order off the menu. that is where their exquisite cuisine can be had.
in fact, yen king/maple gdn also has excellent menu items. next time if you are hankering for some hot noodles try their ‘yen king soup noodle’ a carry over from the old store. and then there’s this braised pork leg that is to die for, but, it is pricey.
fook yuen does wonders with the seafoods.
but, my current front runner is moon garden.
curt…we will discuss this again tomw.
tate is entering the supplemental draft.
…
wait…don’t tell me you guys didn’t know.
Fook Yuen’s Pipa Tofu is REALLY good. And I really like their thin chow mein noodles, almost like Shanghai noodles. When I go there with my Mom, we always get a lobster in black bean sauce. I don’t think their walnut shrimp is as good as what I’ve gotten on the mainland, though.
Had a great steamed fish dish from Maple Garden. In fact, that meal we ordered when my friends were here was outstanding.
I’ll have to try more dishes from Moon Garden.
K, I need to go to bed. If you want to know the story, you can ask DPK. Night!
Be on the loolout for new news about a future UH football venue.
lobster king and canton seafood are good.
then again, im a panda cuisine fan.
Al — how about a cattle call at Moon Garden? I never had the BBQ fuud you said to order a day in advance. Could get a head count for the advance order here… 😕
