Today's Sunset:

We just had a storm, and have another on the way. Today was a pleasant day in between...

If this next piece of wood is real nice and will work as a drum, then a drum it will be. Otherwise, it wil be a chair, table, or something. I started by cleaning a log with my handy Ryobi planer. It's definitely not square, so a little measuring and cutting is in order

This is straight enough to start laying it out:

Some tiki drafting and i'm ready to cut:

Zip zip zip with the saw. I hope I don't wander with the chainsaw. I gave myself a half inch of error room to absorb any slips or strays

Next step was to remove the wedges by hand. Here's the pile after I was done

I got done removing it all just a little after sunset. It's not as dark as it looks in the pictures as it was in reality:

I got it to here before I wrapped it up for the day:

Dog dayz:
Poki went to the vet today for her last puppy shots. She was 16lbs one month ago, 24lbs today.
Ringo came over this weekend and taught Poki how to get dirty:

Poki's sporting a new collar too:

By the way - when you post those beautiful sunset pics looking across the bay towards the ocean - from your house - do you glimpse Belmont Park and the roller coaster?

Yeah. It's pretty much straight out from me. I can see it all lit up at night. And when the wind blows just right, I can smell the urine drenched gutters of PB too!

I think the spots look fine.

They'll fade, and the rest of the tiki will get darker. It's already starting to happen. A little stain and it will be like they aren't even there.

Good thing you're not married.

After I did every cool and fun thing that I was ever able to do in my life, I thought that very same thought.
