is that a der weinerschnitzel restaurant? haven't seen one of those in years and when i was younger my parents wouldn't take me to that joint. supposedly not good for me.

Yes, that would be Der Weinerschnitzel. Like this Tiki midmoaidern classic Polynesian inspired A frame example:

The one I go to in PB is about 1.2 miles from my front door and is an aframe one like that one above. I'm doing urban archeology when I take a break from carving. That's how tiki I am.

As for Derweiner being bad for you...lies! Just like santa and the easter bunny!

Both Kiva and I found the secret to good health and longevity is a balanced diet of chili dogs and chili fries:

they've been running a special for $3 lately: 2 chili dogs and an order of chili fries. When I go "buffett style", I add a mustard dog for 99 cents more.
There's this one guy who works there who gives Kiva a free hot dog every time we go. We call him "the cool guy".

When I was younger, my friend and I were feasting on a pile of mustard dogs that were on sale for 19 cents each. My friend said we could feed the poor in this nation if we would just put a weinerschnitel in all the poor neighborhoods and run the 19 cent hot dog special.

Buzzy, thanks for the links man! The post about the planer comparison was hilarious! No wonder I couldn't find your ryobi on their website - I didn't even check the planer category.

Yeah, I have a Black & Decker Mouse. It was great while it worked (for about 1 yr). That damn thing can't take my abuse.

I'm on my second one now. The velcro that holds the paper on fell off after about a week of owning it. I'd complain, but it was only $5. what I hate is the sand paper cost. After tax, it's over $1 a piece. I use a 1/4 sheet ryobi sander for most of my initial sanding because it's way cheaper, paper wise.

#1 GET THEE A BLACK TABLECLOTH! :lol:

#2 I missed this when first posted. Let me sharpen the blades and we'll go for it!

It always took me longer than 10 minutes to hook the thing up, so I bought a second saw to leave it on. :D

#1 I am a special status vendor. I bring my own setup and put it wherever I want. they like me to be out in the front to draw people into the event. I guess I'm a better draw than a pile of soap and dog food samples on a black tablecloth. All those black table cloth ones are dog eat dog, first come first serve, get there early for the good tables, tables. I roll up with my own table and always put it in the prime real estate. And, MY table looks best of all with my tongan fake tapa material tabletop.

#2 I don't ever need to, or ever have, sharpened the blades on my ryobi. The ryobi is always plug in ready. Fine on the race, but the sharpening time has to be added to your total time because that seems to be a necessary thing to do with your inferior tool choice. I'll spot you the install time because you spent even more $$$ on another chainsaw. You ever have to make a quick run up to the gas station to grab some gas before you fire up the old gas powered log wizard?

#3 So you now have a dedicated chainsaw motor with the log wizard blades affixed? Hmmmmm, sounds like how my ryobi motor runs the very same blades, but in a smaller, lighter, and more user friendly housing. So for the cost of the log wizard and a second chainsaw, you now have a very expensive ryobi planer that looks like a chainsaw with a blade bolted on the end. Does it even have a depth adjustment? I think how clean and uniform each tool leaves the surface needs to be taken into account also...

You log wizard guys will never learn...
Buzzy Out!
