I'm sorry everyone. I hate that I prompted this thread. I've got some things going on and my motivation is a bit off. I'm living apart from my wife again (she's working as an ER doc in Philly), Earnie isn't well, and I have less time to carve - especially at night. My weekends have been very rushed, and if she is home for the weekend, I try to spend what time I can doing things with her and getting myself ready for the work week. I've got a host of projects going right now, with some of them being tiki, and some not. I've got a Maori figure still on the bench. He is very close to being done and I hope to have him completed in a few days. I put the final clear finish on the dark stained Maori too. I'll post pics of him tonight on my thread. Additionally, I've carved several Gman tikis, but I've sent them packin' without taking pics or posting.

Here's my list of "other" activities.....or things I do if I'm not carving:

Work and work travel
Maintaining a long distance relationship with my wife
Painting/selling my gyotaku
Boar hunting
Randrail work/buggy club rides
House projects
Speed shooting competitions
Fossil hunting adventures
Cannon building/shooting
Non-tiki carving commissions
Maintaining the GMT
Exhaustion
Depression
Lack of inspiration
Chicken wings and Checker Burgers
