Thanx, SurfinT--I'm hurrying! As slow as I can! :wink:

Benz-I did pick up one big gouge and it's helped tremendously. Any part of this that looks organized or doesn't look haphazardly thrown about, I'll chalk up to luck :wink:

Funny pic and funny story about the appletons through the window--except the broken hand part. :( I do recognize him now though.

Lake Surfer =Dave / Surfintiki=Dave: Daves of the Waves! :P

Thanx Lake Dave. In it for the long haul for sure, I'll try to pick up the pace here in the next few days. I should be acclimated to the humidity by now since I've lived in the steamy south all my life. Nobody ever gets 'used' to it-just have occasional periods of tolerance with it.

We've been maintaining anywhere from waist to chest high, occasional shoulder high here since last Fri. Semi-glass, a little choppy in the afternoons--pretty fun stuff but I can't credit Bertha with it.

Thanx TikiThomas. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product as well! :)

Thanx, Benj. I usually rush through a carving and worry about any details or cleaning up after I'm done with the major carving part. Just going for a different approach this time.
