Yesterday's sunset picture turned out a little blurry:

It looks better than today's...

I didn't get home from work in time to catch today's sunset:

Just missed it! Drat!

Today was my first day back at my old job of pretending like I carve out on the Hotel lawn for the tourists. Here was today's festivities:

I didn't bring the whole setup I used last year or an actual tiki to carve this time. I wanted to make sure everything was hassle free with the load in this year before I go all out. I did bring an unfinished drum and spread my tools around it so it looked like I was just on a break from carving:

Here was my view from my table as the old timey boat came in:

The season started out real well: I ended up selling a lot of stuff to the tourists, and even better, the hotel management asked me to carve three tikis for them.

Back at home today, my new buddy spider patrolled the inside of the new drum:

The rest of my waking hours were spent finishing up and sending out the biggest single day of BradyScrubs orders I've had so far.

All I want to do tomorrow is eat Weinerschnitzel and carve on the big drum.

Hey buzzy, so is that ryobi the pad sander or belt sander? not too sure from the pics.
Do you have any experience with their Corner Cat sander?

I've never used the corner cat. I have a Black and Decker mouse. I got it for $5 from the ladies at the swap meet I got the planer from.
Speaking of planer:
It's actually the Ryobi HPL51k planer

Here's an old post I did on it a while ago. Sorry about the small pictures:

And here's another one where I discuss the merits of the Ryobi as opposed to the Log Wizard:
Ryobi vs. Log Wizard
No one ever took me up on the challenge.

I kind of feel sorry for it. It looks so fresh, innocent and naive - little does it know about it's future work schedule at the House of Buzz.
And are those two sweet old ladies with the cel phones fronting all of San Diego County's stolen hardware?

And it was so much cheaper than a store new one, I can be even more reckless and harsh with it!
They said they own a pawn shop too. Besides, they don't let you sell stolen stuff at the swap meet.

Speaking of swap meets, I think there's one tomorrow.
Buzzy Out!
