That’s because you’ve only got 2 miles of coast there and no surf…in HI that’s pretty much formal attire.
Are there going to be any boobs in here, or what?
“Billabong board shorts” . . . I couldn’t even bring myself to SAY that in public.

Maybe but our white sand beaches are a lot prettier than most of the nasty beaches I’ve seen.
Man I wish I was there. Hasn’t been that cold in Jersey but very gray. More beach pics!
Looking great, Kent! Didn’t know you had 3 kids.
Meanwhile, snowflakes flutter down outside my window . . . how much time will you have for sightseeing?
Beautiful family bro…enjoy!
yes there are bound to be some beach hotties worth posting. (does the wife know this is being posted?)
Canadian myself, what kind of weather are you leaving behind in Alberta? Over here we just got winter pretty much recently.
Great stuff! Looks like the fam is pretty happy about the vacation.

We got over a foot of snow this weekend. Hmpf
Patch - SNOW!?!?!?! I’m deeply shocked. I feel your pain. And to show my outrage I’m going to go suntan.
James - Yeah, we’re all enjoying it tremendously. Of course, I go home the day after tomorrow and they get to stay another week. So, Patch, I should be good an bitter myself in about six days’ time.
Kong - The weather in Alberta is hovering between 5 degrees above and 5 degrees below freezing, which for February is freaking exceptional. Usually this time of year we’re overing around -10 to -20 celcius.
Matty - The average sexiness of my family goes WAY up when I leave the photograph.
Cav - Yes I have three boys and each of them displays one of my three major personality disorders. The oldest is OCD, the middle one is ADD, and the youngest is an emotional wreck. My mom pratially pees herself laughing that I have three kids that are JUST LIKE ME!
And I’m sitting here watching the white stuff come down. Grrr. Oh, well, you’re getting a bodybuilder’s tan the real way - in the sun! Can’t pass that up.
Your mom ever razz you about being like your father? My brother and I look exactly like Dad, and act like him - holy $*&@, it’s scary.

Later…
I was supposed to do some light leg work in the basement before bed, but I am officially saying FUCK IT! For the first time since I started work with my coach in September I’m NOT DOING ONE OF THE WORKOUTS AND I REFUSE TO FEEL GUILTY!!!
Okay I feel really guilty. Somebody hold me!
And I got my trunks Thursday. Holy crap these things are tiny. I could fit them into my wallet!
Aren’t they supposed to be small?
Considering how self conscious I am wearing a singlet, I can’t imagine wearing one of those.
NO-FAIL INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUYS TO TAKE AN UNCOMMONLY BUFF LOOKING PICTURE OF THEMSELVES
Seriously. Simply follow these instructions to make youself look distinctly underwear-model-ish.
- Stand straight, facing the camera.
- Turn 45 degrees to one side (either one, pick your best side)
- If your arms change shape at all when you flex them, take off your shirt. Otherwise, select a snug fitting T-shirt.
- Cross your arms over your chest. If you’ve got any degree of man-boobiness, ensure your forearms cover your nipples. Otherwise, cross your forwarms under your pecs and hike 'em up.
- Stick your fists under your armpits.
- Hike your arms up so that your fists are under the beefiest part of your biceps.
- Squish your arms down, squeezing your biceps against your fists.
- Suck in the world’s biggest breath. Suck in the gut, puff out the chest.
- Hold it.
- Look up slightly.
- Tense every single muscle in your upper body, while simultaneously relaxing all the muscles in your face whilst effortlessly smiling (seriously work on this part. If the tension shows up in your face you’ll look like you’ve got gas or are holding in the world’s biggest bowel movement).
- Take the picture… oh yeah have a buddy/spouse/girlfriend help with that part.
- If you’re a bit stout around the middle, crop the photo just under your elbows. Another trick is to twist your hips perpendicular to the camera while holding the pose.
If you end up looking like a cross between Superman and those guys modeling dress shirts in the Sears catalogue, you’ve got it nailed. This is a great photo to use for your Facebook or Lavalife profile.
So I just got back from an EXCEPTIONAL holiday which you’ve all endured photos of above! I needed it in a big way, so as to prevent myself from climbing to the top of the tallest building on the plant site and squeezing off a few friendly rounds of gunfire at my co-workers.
So, yes. I feel refreshed.
I am pleased to report I managed to stick to the workout plan and lift every single day that wasn’t spent travelling, and I didn’t deviate from the diet. I dumped 5 lb of fat, and am starting to see some minor sexiness emerge. I will need MAJOR sexiness to start exploding out pretty damned quick if I’m going to make these non-existant teeny-bathing-suit thingies look slightly less ridiculous.
