I'm just not into doing teeth... Solved one problem I'd been trying to work through with the body Pretty much done with it now. There are a few areas that will be worked easier with the dremel that I'll touch up later. JenTiki: I think I powered on until about 3am...yawn! I'm tired. BigT: Thanks man. This is a presold tiki so I didn't get to put as much time into it as I would have liked, but how it works in the real world of tiki macronomics. Now back to that big Lono I was working on...

This afternoon, I hollowed out the back to facilitate quicker log drying A corrollary of doing this was that I was aboout half inch away from doing a cut through between the legs. So, since I was in the neighborhood anyway, I cut it out all the way through: But now it looks like I need to do the same to the arms too. Seeksurf: I may compromise and add some lines to do the teeth. Still debating it... Babalu: Space Hippy's in the house! Welcome back bro! Kiva had a great day today: she got to go through the Weinerschnitzel drive thru with me and got a special treat from the weinerschnitzel guy. Then she took a nap... Bali Dan: Thanks man! More stuff on the way...hopefully it will good stuff too. Let it Rain! Buzzy Out!

I look forward to them everyday. GMAN: Yo G! Here's the daily dose: Last night, I spent a few minutes opening up the areas under the arms Doing this really gave it the illusion of more depth. After doing the cut outs, I had to remove some material from the back that was now visible from the front. It made the arms look as wide as the whole piece, as opposed to appearing to be as wide as they were on the actual body: I needed to cut out more of the material under the armpits, so I used a keyhole cutting bit with my Dremel. I also used it for the space between the feet and between the legs. I did most of the sandding on it, and am leaving the tool marks slightly visible.

I'm not going to not do teeth until you start to not do your teeth first. Then I'll not do my teeth right before you do not finish not doing your teeth, and I'll take all the credit again, because I didn't do it first this time too. Furthermore, Bowana, TikiDav, it makes no difference to me, as long as one of you gets something done! I put my time machine on my new flying carpet! Buzzy Out!

As a matter of fact, I did catch that sunset last night: I really like those sunsets that turn the whole bay colored Here's the sunset from the winter solstice this year: That is as far south as the sun will set. Is it too early to start the contest to see when the sun will no longer set on the water? I've been resting up the last couple weeks, getting ready to kick ass for another year. I did manage a little work on the Lono guy in between naps, holidays, and the UFC.
