Buzzy's work: Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate - Tiki Carving

BPB Bay Park Buzzy Tiki Socialite West Bay Park, San Diego, CA Joined: Apr 07, 2006 Posts: 3066	BPB Bay Park Buzzy Posted posted on Sun, Jun 22, 2008 11:30 PM We'll start to notice that sunsets are now moving south on the horizon every day. Only a few more months until it sets on the ocean and behind the bay. Here is the last speck of today from the far north: the movement of the sun reminds me of sunset based contests and that makes me think I need to start and finish HoKU's sunset prize before I have the next contest. I'd better hurry up... My ultra happy moment came today when I purchased this 10" draw knife for $10 at the swap meet: I celebrated by stripping a big old log! I hope the ryobi doesn't get jealous. It's real nice. In other tiki news: I put another coat of spar on these guys today: I ran out of spar after I did these two. I wanted to do more, but was so hot that I couldn't even look for my car keys to go to the store and get more. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll have the fortitude to venture out of the house for much needed supplies. My good friend Cammo once referred to it as "living with an insane person." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, once again we have a special guest joining in on the action at the House of Buzz for a few days. It's Zaya's dog Ringo! A special House of Buzz welcome to a "special" dog! I'm glad to have him around because his long hair makes for a good broom. The first job I ever had was in a liquor store's deli. We had this gross old mop that didn't actually remove the dirt, it just distributed it over the floor evenly so that the tiles appeared the same brown color when they dried. I always remember how filthy, stinky, and muddy the mop was. I nicknamed Ringo the "Twin Oaks Market deli Mop" He looks just like that old deli mop! I don't know how I'm going to clean him up. I think I need help. Hey babalu, how do clean a dirty hippie?...Oh yeah, you don't. Buddycat isn't down for the whole Ringo situation yet, so he's been spending his time in the front yard watching over my growing collection of aac blocks (which will one day become several Bowana inspired Moais) : TDuddy: thanks man!
