Good morning fellow Maniacs! Wanted to setup this post as a check in for those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. My area here in Palm Harbor, the west coast of Florida outside of Tampa got hit pretty hard. Thankfully we, our house and family did OK, no real damage but lost power a few days. ...

I came across this in a season 2 episode of Highway to Heaven, A Song for Jason. I didn't watch both episodes so I don't know if she was in other parts. But is this Kristen? I couldn't find a record of her being in anything other than MPI. https://i.imgur.com/RqDFJ4l.jpg I see the resemblance ... h...

I get that ... when Higgins (AKA BondToys) made them they weren't available at the time.

Hi all, I just wanted to say that I bought one of these caps from Higgins (AKA BondToys) and it is incredible. I'm extremely satisfied with it and have had several folks compliment it out in public--though I doubt they got the reference. It's definitely worth the price and Higgins was a delightful ...

There is actually a decent beach at Pahonu pond/Robin Master's estate now. So I'd have a hard time convincing the Obama's I need to come inside the property to recover from a floundering swim :D I'd really like to know what they did to Magnums' guest house though. I wonder if its really a quest hou...

Warren Buffet who I think is Jimmy’s uncle once said that he could have learned a lot from Jimmy when it came to investing. Jimmy had several Restaurants chains , Land shark beer , a string of retirement communities and authored more than a few books and even wrote a play . I don’t know if Jimmy ha...

If you have not already seen Mac MacAnally first concert after Jimmy Buffet’s passing this you might enjoy it . Here is the link to the start of the concert on YouTube . https://youtu.be/QY5sN8aaVDs?si=lRtnrG5aVAYnnT1l I think just about the whole concert is available one song at a time . I did see...

I noticed Bo has been more active on social media the last few months, leaning into his old characters. John Aberle and I are looking to interview him sometime in the near future.

Thank you! Just a frustrating year but . . . I have been able to keep the lights on here, which is important.

Hi guys!! So, 3 operations in the family in less than a year takes a toll. I'm recuperating now, but it's been ... well, whatever. More importantly, John Aberle, who I did a series of radio interviews with a few years ago is setting up another couple for us. First up is Ivan himself, Bo Svenson and ...

Just posting to say Aloha.

Conch, you should do a mass email to members. Invite people who haven’t posted in years to check in and say hello.

Excellent idea!

I'll get on that!!!

Love this tribute, Conch. As always, you've got a great way of expressing things. Thanks Styles . . . this one hit me hard. We knew he was sick but thought we'd have one more season. We spent the week listening to his music, watching the tributes and then had our party celebrating his life this pas...

Some are taken too soon. Some you're amazed they have lived as long as they have. Then there are those you never thought about them not being there. Overnight on September 1st Jimmy Buffett passed away. Known to most of the public and casual fans for his party lifestyle, merchandising and concert sh...

Plenty of examples of things that are probably inappropriate when viewed by today's standards - but that's a bit of a pointless exercise. One thing I will say is that Magnum went there FAR less than other contemporary male oriented shows (as has been pointed out several times in the past). Well said.
