Sad and bad days here at the House of Buzz

We lost our best friend recently.

RIP Kiva the Dog
August 5, 1995-September 21, 2009

Here are some good old days happy times Kiva pictures of Kiva doing all of her favorite things:

Barking at passing trucks the whole 1,100 miles to the east cape

Swimming in the Bahia de Concepcion

Messing with Mexican wildlife

Just killing time, beachcombing while waiting for the surf to pick up

Living in a little grass shack on a white sandy beach in the tropics

At home in the House of Buzz

In her final couple years, chillin' with her good buddy Ringo

She'll be missed greatly around here.

And with that, on to the rest of the bad news:

I was in a car accident last week and seemed to have messed up my thumb, elbows, and wrists a little bit. I'm not able to carve right now, but will know more when I got to the doctor tomorrow morning. Hopefully this will soon pass. If not, I'm totally F%$^ed!

Before all that bad stuff happened, I was doing some work.

I got the bottom of the pahu carved out

this one isn't hollowed out like a tube. It has a bottom to the bell...

or a top to the pedestal?

Doing this middle support section will hopefully keep it from splitting and warping. I'll drill a sound hole right before puttung the head on

I also cleaned up the inside of the tambour

And finally, I started another wall hanging tiki from the other half of the KU log

Sunset:

Dont race back here for an update anytime soon.
Buzzy Out!
