Festool fleece jackets on sale

[ccarrolladams]

See, each of us has a different experience and opinion.

Although when I started woodworking in the late 1930s folding rules were the norm, once tape measures were available I only used my classic folding rule when I needed to measure above my head. For me the hook and extension were not important.

I bought the Festool folding rule because it has both imperial and metric markings that are exceptionally easy to read. Although my clients usually measure in imperial, I prefer metric. Consequently my primary tape is a 4m Stanley that only has metric. In another pocket of my carpenter's apron I carry a recently purchased FastCap 25 foot "Carpenter" tape with imperial, metric and even dot every 32mm which simplify using the LR 32 system.

My question is how often will a person in Hawaii need the Festool jacket? I have homes in Burbank, California and near Beautiful Downtown Kaunakakai on Friendly Molokai, Hawai'i  When I come home to Molokai I wear shorts, slippers and an open shirt, even when my body might prefer a warm jacket. Locals say wearing the jacket gives tourists the wrong idea.

Thanks for the opinion on the rule.  Sounds like I have the same FastCap tape you have (I'm really liking mine) and the Festool rule is more of a want than a need at the moment. 

Hey, it can get down into the upper 60's during winter.  That is FREEZING!  [big grin]  Besides, Bob said it was a 'light' fleece.  [big grin]

Just called and checked; I can't ship these jackets outside the USA; sorry guys.

I'm sure I saw a whole cabinet locker full of them plus other clothing at Dan Clemonts in Vancouver!! [smile] [smile] [smile] [smile]

I have a good friend that has a place in Kauai that he keeps trying to entice us to. When is winter? I think I might want to try it out...

Well, we don't have any real changing of the seasons like on the mainland. More like hot=summer, humid and hot=fall, cool and rainy=winter, and the best all around weather is in spring IMHO.

I would say 'winter' is December through February. Nice time for surf along the North Shore!

I went to my sister-in-law's wedding at the church on the far side of Hana, where Charles Lindberg is buried. It was very unusual, spiritual, and mystical; a great place to lay down some everlasting promises...

That was in early May and the weather seemed fantastic. It was also considered, "Off Season", I guess because tourists don't normally travel then?

You know, I'm not really sure about the Visitor's Industry though I would imagine that the peak tourist season would be during the cooler months.  I think once the mainland starts thawing out, people are less inclined to travel halfway across the Pacific. 

Glad you got to visit!  While I enjoy all the major islands, I definitely like Kauai and the Big Island the best.  Kauai still retains that laid-back island lifestyle that I love so much, and the Big Island just about has anything that an outdoors person would want.  Camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, and yes, even some snowboarding from time to time!  If the timing is right, you could be on the top of Mauna Kea playing in the snow, hop into the truck, and two hours later be at the beach!
