I still think it was a mistake for John Cougar to add Mellancamp to his name. It's like he got married and hyphenated his name as a result. He probably lost most of his male fans after that. That whole pink house thing didn't exactly bring em back, either. Poor John. At one time he almost looked tough, with that leather jacket and cigarette. Where is he now?
Who would win in a fight between George Michael and Jon Cougar Mellancamp?

I will say that Buffy could beat both George Michael and JC Mellencamp. But, I don't think either one of them is a very well trained fighter, so she's still not all that great in my book. Grog's right, but he doesn't win anything.

back to work...

Hey Boss...I agree with Benjamin; the eyes, or lack there of, are very cool on this guy.

However, come on....George Michael?? That dude couldn't take on Festus from Gun Smoke! You could even tie Festus' hands tied behind his back, and GM would still loose...You could even let GM have his purse to fight with, and tie Festus' hands behind his back, and he would still loose.

Gotta go with John Cougar...At least he has "Cougar" in his name...that's enough to make ole Georgie's knees wobble right there. Melloncamp? - the dude might be a melon picker who lives in a pink house, but he is a tough farm kid from Indiana....uhhhhhh...wait a minute...I live in a pink house, and I was born on a farm in Indiana too? Okay, I'm not saying any more here....

A couple days worth of sunsets:

TikiDreams: Estimates put those palms in the $350 or so each range around these parts. I got them delivered and installed for about 100% less than that price.
Benella: Those eyes keep playing tricks on my eyes. My eyes can't seem to focus on the eyes, only the lack thereof. There's all kinds of trickery going on with this guy. I had to take a break because it was getting too hard to figure out. I think I can see where I need to go now.
TDuddy: Thanks Duddy. I accomplished one of my goals on this body. Finally solved a problem I had been having getting those ridges on the legs. Now I just have to work on my 10,000 other weaknesses...
Babalu: I only picked Georgey Boy because I couldn't think of any other guy that couldn't kick JCougarmellencamp's ass. I didn't want to pick a chick either, because that would be sexist. Maybe George" Bad to the Bone" Thorogood vs. Heuy " Need a New Drug" Lewis would be a better fight.
Tornhalo: I'm with you on that whole global warming thing. Bikini season should be extended by another few months, in my opinion. In fact, I think I'll go burn my old fence right now, use up some of my carbon emission credits.
Hiltiki: Oh man, I've been busy these last couple days. Getting those palm trees motivated me to finally finish my fence project. It basically took a whole day to remove the bushes where the fence was to go, then it took another day to put up the rest of the fence, and now it will take a few days to clean all the crap up.
Here's some pictures:

This was the final section I needed to construct. I ran out of the big posts, so I had to secure a premade 6x8 fence section through a purchase. This nearly doulbled the entire project cost to about $72.

The whole reason I wanted to do this fence thing was to extend my back yard by another 15 feet. Here was my old back yard fence:

My back yard just got bigger!
Here's the view of the newest fence section and all the crap I need to deal with:

I'm going to burn all that wood. Hooray for carbon emissions!
And now a view from the street:

I think I actually started my extend the back yard project about 9 years ago. That shows I have resolve. I'll put that on my resume under "strengths."

Benzart: These stunt carvers are working out real well for me so far, but I feel like I should actually be doing my own work. It would be helpful to get some advice from an experienced carver at some point in my life. That got me thinking, maybe someone like you should have a carving seminar to help people like me. Now I'm just free thinking/brainstorming here: But, maybe you could secure a location and invite some carvers to join you for a weekend, and teach them about carving. I'd bet people would even pay to do something like that. You should think about doing that sometime.

There has got to be something I can do to help the environment. I'll think I'll go get a smog check for my car, just because I care.
Buzzy Out!

Buzzy, the front yard looks great. I wish I had some of those palms. I can't afford big ones like that, I think they are slow growing, but I am not sure. The orange tiki that I love, looks great with the palms. So when is The Front Yard New Buzzpau-Hana Mug Release Party? You can have vendors, music, you have the nice bar now to serve drinks,plenty of parking space. and a nice view from the street. ha? what do you think. All you need is to design a mug. Make it cheap will you? I think the way we are going on TC. I am averaging one new mug a week now...

I think it hides too much of your pretty face, just put it in a vase or have buzzy carve one just like it for you so when it withers you'll still have it, waddya think?

All these sunsets are starting to look the same:
This one might be from yesterday or the day before

I'm doing the final tweaking and sanding of this guy now

I also just started to refinish this bar I picked up a few months ago:

It's cleaning up a lot nicer and easier than thought it would.

Buzzy Out!

Buzzy, here's a pic of what it could look like. This one was on ebay a while ago, and I was going to use it as a fix-up inspiration. :)

4WD: Thanks for that picture. :)

I'm just cramming in this project with all the other crap I have going right now

Speaking of crap, I sanded and stained this today:

It was partly cloudy today,so I wanted to spend my day outside. I cleaned a log and carved a little piece of it.
Here is my journey of carving this face on a log today
Started by rounding the forehead

Roughed out nose and mouth marked out

Eyes, more nose work, and the tongue started

Tapering in the middle of the head:

Softened up a bit, and now awaiting final sanding and staining:

He says: "Damn it, I've been waiting to go home forever now!" Liked that picture you posted too.

TBirdman: You need some bamboo? Got access to a ton of it. Actually, a few tons...
Greentikipat: I love that feeling that I get when I walk out there and do not recognize my own place because it looks so nice. :) Hope you got that feeling now too.

Zaya: Nice Hat!

Buzzy Out!

That was the last picture i was able to take before I ran out light. After this picture, I did a little more on it.

I think I finished sanding the little ficus Ku a little while ago. I just need to not look at it for a couple hours and see if there was anything that I missed seeing on it earlier, when i thought I was done with it for only the sixth or seventh time.

I just looked up at the tv and there was a tiki in the background while they interviewing Ami on Miami Ink.

KTD: Of course, you are in no way bound to that guy...You're always more than welcome to upgrade. :)

If I had not lost/misplaced my hookknife earler today, I'd do some work on the mini Maori right now. Instead, I'm going to look for my hookknife.

Buzzy Out!

Buzzy I think your hooknife is under the sock in the picture with KTD's tiki in it. :o
