Today's sunset came out blurry, so here's yesterday's:

Pretty clear day, it was.

I needed a day off of working on the big guy because working stooped over the last few days finally took its toll on my back. So, yesterday's adventures included starting on cleaning a stumpy log for my next project. It's not a drum, but a table made to strongly resemble a drum:

It's hard to tell the scale, but it's about 27 inches tall.

Yesterdays other project was bringing another person into the tiki carver's exclusive club. Meet new TC member xtsnpatx:

That's his first tiki that he learned on. I did it coach Benzart style and carved one side to show him what to do and then had him carve the other. For homework, I sent him home with a blank log to draw up his own design on to bring back next week and carve up himself.

Today, it was back to working on the table. I roughed out the legs:

I didn't leave much space between them so it was hard to clear out the wood in between them:

Boy it was a nice day, today. Real sunny and warm.

What's the battery for?

They tried to charge me some California legislated crappy battery disposal fee, so I figured I'd get rid of it next time I go night fishing in the bay. Unliscensed fishing, of course...For now,I throw that in my truck when the taco shop runs out of used cooking oil to run the other engine with. I now have an ultra double hybrid battery run with biodiesel converted green truck. Well, it's painted green, at least.

shame about your weather out there,... good luck with the weather.

Today was one of those southern california dream days! (At least until I heard that the sales tax, income tax, the new tax on the income tax, as well as the vehicle license fees all went up here. )

I think the only reason it was warm today is because there is so much carbon in the air. No love in the air today, only carbon.
Buzzy Out!
