I don't know what day it is today, so I have no idea when this recent sunset took place in relation to the present time, nor do I have any knowledge of what the name of that period of time is referred to as in our language:

I had a fun little adventure over at Cammo's studio today. Check it here.

In other tiki related endeavors:

I made a couple more new signs with a wood background:


And I prepped enough bamboo to supply the letters for many many more signs:

I have one more distinctly different style to assemble still.

In yet still more "Other Projects" updates:

I turned this heavy pile of wood and bamboo...

...into this new fence on the southern border Rancho Buzzy.

It took a lot of tree trimming and trips to Home Depot for the right stuff to finally get it to work.

My eyes haven't adjusted to it yet.

The cannibal looks great Buzzy. I'm glad Buddy Cat gave him the nod.

Unfortunately, the new fence didn't get the Buddy Cat nod of approval, because now he has to walk all the way around.

Buddy Cat says: " I was hanging out here BEFORE they had any fences! What's this s#!^ ?"

The cannibal is cool, Buzzman!

I have to confess, I fired up the time machine again and looked into your future and saw you start working on one of these in a couple of years from now. Then I jumped another decade into the near distant future and looked very carefully at how you completed it. then I came back to the present and half assed my version of it in a couple of days. I think I may have inadvertently tripped a physics infinity time loop in the process, and you and I may be stuck making these for an eternity...Time will tell.

Hola Buzzy! Nice cannibal. What color stain are you gonna use? That bamboo fence is looking pretty solid. :) A few picts of this past weekends camping spot...Lanikuhonua on Oahu.
Freddie

I'm thinking colonial maple for the hat, golden oak for the body, and dark walnut for the little guy. But I always change my plans at the last second when I stain...

Those pics bring back some fond memories...
Back in the 80's I worked as a kind of security guard and lived in the guest house
on a writer's estate in Hawaii. I got paid real well for doing virtually nothing, I got a nice company car to drive, and I got to have a part time side job. It was a really great time in my life!

Benella and Tduddy: Thanks guys!

Seeing he's a picture-perfect realization of the Kon Tiki menu guy, you could also kick him in for the upcoming swap. Would he fit in one of those poster tubes?

I can't compete with Freddie's scenery (palms trees are a little more picturesque than floodlights), but here's another Polynesian sunset for you:

Oh! Too bad I used the former Beverly Hills Luau/currently the Crowne Plaza Hut cannibal tikis for reference. Since it wasn't actually inspired by a menu, putting him in the swap would be against the rules, and rules RULE!
Out here they make cell phone towers look like palm trees. I think the next logical step is making all light fixtures look like trees. It's a future I look forward too...

Hey Buzzy. Here's the sunset on the Earth from space.

I remember being astonished the first time I beheld that same view with my own eyes. I was on the Mir space station... Oh wait, I was actually watching Frank Mir on "UFC Unleashed" as I was dozing off... Frank Mir's a pretty good announcer...I bet Frank Mir could take Buffy.

It doesn't matter what time it is when you have a time machine. You can make it any time that you want it to be.
Buzzy Out!
