Buzzy said he had 68,657 logs delivered today but he has plans for all of them so I can't get any until the next shipment in 2010.
Cam's right, I have plans for every single one of these:
Or at least I have plans to make some plans for some of these:
I just opened the San Diego Tiki Factory Unfinished Tikis Retail/Wholesale Log Sales Department
27 more trees to come down on this job. God thing I didn't spend the last couple years making my lawn look nice.
Welcome to the log yard!
In other tiki news, another chair roughed out:
I'm going to get three more chair size logs tomorrow, and have them roughed out over the weekend. They go quick when I actually work on them...
I haven't done many parties this last year. They don't give me as many jobs any more because I have such a bad attutude on the job sites when I'm there. So now they only use me when they are totally desperate. Since they have no choice, I can pretty much get away with anything. One of my favorite things to do when I'm setting up a party is to lie to the tourists when the bother me with their stupid questions. For example, I was once asked by a lady in a rental minivan full of toddlers how to get to Childrens pool/Seal shitcesspool in La Jolla. She was just north of where she should have been. I happily gave her very good directions further north, to Black's Beach, where she could find many a naked gay man tanning, playing volleyball, mating, and frolicking on the beach. Combine messing with the tourists and fighting with the catering and event staff, I am a job site nightmare most of the time. Even worse, since I know I'm the only living person available to them, I demand even more money than before. Higher wages for worse work. Only in America, baby! Feel like I'm in a union now!
Speaking of America, I set up the annual party on the deck of the aircraft carrier Midway this week:
When an annoying tourist would come up and ask what the party was for, I had a good lie cooked up. I would tell them that a Marine CH53E would be flying in and dropping Jimmy Buffett off on the flight deck to play an acoustic set for John McCain, who was being thanked with this party by the Navy for his long time support of them. Man, you should have seen how excited people were when they thought they would be seeing Jimmy Buffett. A few people asked me if it was open to the public, and I would inform them that the public was paying for the party through their taxes, but not invited to actually attend the party. That brought some disappointment to a few.
That guy in the phone in the corner of the photo is calling his uncle to tell him Jimmy Buffett and Jon McCain are on the way
When people would ask what was going on at the party, I say, "I don't know! All I know is that when I come back here at night to take this stuff down, everything smells like beer, pineapple juice, and piss."
The cruise ship was in next slip over, so there were a lot of people to lie to all day. Welcome to San Diego folks!
Suprisingly, I have another party to do today at VacationVillage Paradise Point. I can't wait to go mess with the tourists. I'm going to send them to all the fine boutiques and restaurants in the seaside community of Imperial Beach! Since there was a murder on the trolly yesterday, I'll tell them to take it there. Oh what fun!

I hear you get Lots of those German tourist y types [there.] Better watch out for him, he's Up to something I can tell! :P
Wow Benz, That new signature is kinda BIG. Looks like a sticker on my kitchen trash can.
I can more than handle myself around these touristy types. Especially those Euros. Lot's of practice, I've had. That's what they get for being so close to France.

That drum was the cats ass great looking dumb Buzzy.
Thanks Seeks. Still working on that damn dumb drum #2 too. As soon as they remember why they don't like me to work on parties anymore, I'll be back to carving on it.
Today, I will try to get a tourist to swim in the polluted waters of Mission Bay.
Hepititus anyone?
Buzzy Out!
