A couple days worth of sunsets:

TikiDreams: Estimates put those palms in the $350 or so each range around these parts. I got them delivered and installed for about 100% less than that price.
Benella: Those eyes keep playing tricks on my eyes. My eyes can't seem to focus on the eyes, only the lack thereof. There's all kinds of trickery going on with this guy. I had to take a break because it was getting too hard to figure out. I think I can see where I need to go now.
TDuddy: Thanks Duddy. I accomplished one of my goals on this body. Finally solved a problem I had been having getting those ridges on the legs. Now I just have to work on my 10,000 other weaknesses...
Babalu: I only picked Georgey Boy because I couldn't think of any other guy that couldn't kick JCougarmellencamp's ass. I didn't want to pick a chick either, because that would be sexist. Maybe George" Bad to the Bone" Thorogood vs. Heuy " Need a New Drug" Lewis would be a better fight.
Tornhalo: I'm with you on that whole global warming thing. Bikini season should be extended by another few months, in my opinion. In fact, I think I'll go burn my old fence right now, use up some of my carbon emission credits.
Hiltiki: Oh man, I've been busy these last couple days. Getting those palm trees motivated me to finally finish my fence project. It basically took a whole day to remove the bushes where the fence was to go, then it took another day to put up the rest of the fence, and now it will take a few days to clean all the crap up.
Here's some pictures:

This was the final section I needed to construct. I ran out of the big posts, so I had to secure a premade 6x8 fence section through a purchase. This nearly doulbled the entire project cost to about $72.

The whole reason I wanted to do this fence thing was to extend my back yard by another 15 feet. Here was my old back yard fence:

Same view with the old fence gone:

My back yard just got bigger!
Here's the view of the newest fence section and all the crap I need to deal with:

I'm going to burn all that wood. Hooray for carbon emissions!
And now a view from the street:

I think I actually started my extend the back yard project about 9 years ago. That shows I have resolve. I'll put that on my resume under "strengths."

Benzart: These stunt carvers are working out real well for me so far, but I feel like I should actually be doing my own work. It would be helpful to get some advice from an experienced carver at some point in my life. That got me thinking, maybe someone like you should have a carving seminar to help people like me. Now I'm just free thinking/brainstorming here: But, maybe you could secure a location and invite some carvers to join you for a weekend, and teach them about carving. I'd bet people would even pay to do something like that. You should think about doing that sometime.

There has got to be something I can do to help the environment. I'll think I'll go get a smog check for my car, just because I care.
Buzzy Out!
