"the other 1/2 should be ready some time later for a 1 day 1 Tiki Chop-A-Thon"

Yo-Yo Cammo, I take it from the above statement that I will be able to take it a little easier at this Chop and enjoy the people and goings on around me?...trust bro, I am fine with that if that is what you mean?. True that log I gave you might be a little moist, but it's the best I have.

I will be happy to do a speed race with you at some other point if you choose.

I guess now is a good time to let you in on a little something, something this rabbit had up his sleeve....

Let me introduce you to my little friend....

My kids just brought this for me for my birthday....it's a Makita "variable speed" die grinder. It "dial" adjusts between 7000 rpms and 25,000 rpms, and boy howdy does it munch wood. That other "cheap" orange die grinder you have all seen from Harbor Freight only runs at one speed - at 23,000 rpms (way too fast)...when you slow the speed down, this thing becomes a carving monster, and also allows one to use those larger sanding wheels that the orange one spits back at you.

You see those 4 deep ass holes I put into that stump there...My daughter timed me putting those in there at 2 minutes, 27 seconds....a good part of that time was blowing out the saw dust from those holes :-)

Wait till you Choppers try this bad boy out on Saturday!

Billy, you can murder all the little chocolate bunnies you want to...and Thomas, I sure hope you can make it somehow!
