Lot's of excitement this weekend.
For starters, there are these boats down on the bay going really fast today. Tomorrow, when ESPN is here, look for my house in the helicopter shots from above. It's the one with the tikis in the backyard, most of which are unfinished.
Here is a picture of boats going real fast. It's hard to judge the speed in this picture.

Tomorrow, when the big boys come out, the spray when they make that turn will be larger than the bridge behind it. That must be the women's heat...

I take a lot of nature pictures when I carve. Here is a spider eating another spider on the back of one of my old tikis. Earlier this morning, a log fell, which knocked something over, which knocked this tiki into my plate glass window, domino style. Luckily, the window didn't break. Weak ass tiki couldn't even smash glass...When I lifted it, I saw this mutual of omaha wild kingdom moment.
Poor spider and Lucky spider:

Worked on the on site stump this morning. I was just going to draw it out today, but the design that the owner wanted was quite simple, so I hacked into it a little.

I found out that there is someone selling tikis locally in a trader type magazine. When you call him and ask for custom carvings, he gives you my number. This is about the 5th person that has called in the last couple of months. Hey paper guy that gives out my number: Thanks, man. Who are you anyway?

I think I am done with this:

Instead of a tiki with a fancy hat, who has a tiki with a bird face on his back; I made a tiki with a fancy hat with another tiki on his back with a fancy bird faced hat. This is the worst thing I have ever done or seen on TC, ever!

In the last tiki magazine, B said something about putting a bunch of details on a crappy tiki to hide the fact that it is a crappy tiki. Guilty! Like those details? I'll fix them up a bit with the dremel during sanding.

I tried to put one piece from every tiki I saw in the last few weeks into this one:

There is a gray cat that has been hanging around my yard lately. I try to chase it away because most of the lizards around here are missing a tail or leg. I did notice that I have no more gophers, though. Last night, I walked into the kitchen and a big rat was sitting in the dog's bowl, eating the food. I thought that I might kidnap the cat for a night and lock it in the kitchen, to get the rat. I just saw the cat outside my door a moment ago, stalking something. It ran out of the bushes suddenly, chasing the rat...It's on!
