Umm...some of us had been discussing something different for the June Chop. Have you talked to anyone lately?

Granted, I could be totally out of the loop myself.

....start the crying now....

Now what?

Do you mean that you are offering up your place?...... Wait, do you mean you are offering up Bill's place?

I'm going to a beach chop on the 28th and may still be moving on the 21st. I'm out.

Who IS this clydes dale(sp?) person?

Okay. Looks like we're on for the 21st at 4WD's place.

Clysdalle - You need to get the new pad ready for us by July. :wink:

plans are in the works....new bbq should be here....and the grounds are almost finished So I hope by July or August!

21st at 4WD's sounds great! I'll be there!

Me too! :D

i think ill be there, not 100% yet, but a good 90%

:D

OOOOOOHHHHH!!!

Scott and I will be there. I will have my Tiki Head I started at the April Chop done and ready for viewing. I'll be ready to start a new one.

Jen

I should be able to make it....unless I can't. :D

I'm a definite maybe...

In...

Whilst dumpster diving at work I stumbled across two very fine heavy duty plastic cases. They held drills at one time. I knocked out the partitions and they now will make nice carving tool cases. I'll bring them to the Chop for anyone who will give them a good home.

And if your name happens to be DeWalt, there's an added bonus...

Cool! I've got some trash I can leave at Bill's house too!

Buzzy Out!

Cool beans. First the Hukilau then the chop on the 21st...I've got a Dodger Tickets for Sunday the 22nd, so this works out perfect!

BTW -- I'm aiming for an October "Cheeky Chop" here in my neck of the woods.

i'm in

Sorry Gang, I'm not going to be able to make the Chop. I hope the day rules for you all.

I'll go if i can get a ride!

i wont be able to make this one either

I would like to attend this chop.
If anyone in the LA area would like to carpool to split gas, let me know.
I have a truck and I can take one person, or we could take your car and I can chip in for gas.

My logs are still drying, will there be some logs provided or should I make do with what I have?

Also this is my first chop at someones house. Do I need to bring food or anything?

Dave, it'll be good to see you again!

See Little lost Tiki's post above about wanting a ride.

No logs provided.

Bringing some food is a very cool thing. :wink:

PM me for directions.

IN!

Like flynn.

I'll be bringing the Kahlua pork again.

And Mieko, Clysdale's coming. I think we're going to need a lot of musubi.

what is that supposed to mean :wink:

yahooooo...can't wait to finally tear into some logs!

I think we are no longer in. Just got a big rush Disney project. Will let you know if it changes. I am so bummed!

This is only acceptable if the Disney stuff you are doing is Tiki Room stuff. :)
And if you promise to bring that dip/salsa like stuff (what did you call it?) next time.

It's going to be 107 degrees in the Valley tomorrow. I'm sooooo glad I will be at the Chop!

I will be there. Looking forward to it.

Any suggestions on what kind of food to bring?

Dave, bring anything you like, that's not on this list :wink:: Nelva's bringing kahlua pork, Mieko's got spam musubi, we have turkey burgers for the grill, mac salad, cupcakes, mango lime and coconut popsicles, and kava iced tea.

You good on directions?

better late than never, pops and i are in oh and i cant forget the tamales. its been a while i had carpal tunnel surgery so ive been on the dl, cant wait to chop docs says im a ok to go full duty.

Boy am I sitting here having a pity party for myself, knowing that all of you are at Bill and Lennie's awesome place, carving, eating yummy food, verbally abusing each other! This sucks!

No, Meiko, I am not actually working on Enchanted Tiki Room things, they are done for now and the event is tomorrow at Disneyland. Whose going? We are to see our LE pieces, the brass ones won't be there for a while.

Can't wait til the next chop, I have a Neptune Salad I'll bring which you guys will love.

Chop a few for me!

Jen

Whew! A hot one today, eh kids? Another fab Chop at 4WD's Ponderosa.

We'll begin this steaming tale with a shot of 4 Wheeler himself, banging away at yet another. You should really slow done a bit, Bill. You're making some of us look bad.

Clysdalle thinking hard about the correct way to hold a pencil.

Cyndi giving it all she's got.

Geedavee making progrees.

Cannibal Sam chopping the good chop.

We'll check back with these guys later. Let's see wassup in the Sittin' Down Zone.

Huh? Cupcakes with candles stuck in 'em? More on this later.

Cheekygirl prepping her post cover carving. Did Lennie just tell you something naughty?

Kate working on her Aloha Jhoe's relief in a stunning matching top and gloves ensemble.

Cannibal Pops Alex putting his Father's Day gifts to the test.

Mieko trying a new medium. Avocado pit. That girl will carve anything!

This is my project for the day. A bas relief Moai carved from AAC.

Buzzy just back from 3 weeks of time travel.

He has seen the future and the future was him stealing my AAC Moai relief carving idea. Fulfill your destiny, Buzz!

Musubi Mom's concrete Tiki carving from her special concoction.

No slacking here, folks.

But wait! Put your tools down! Holy smokes, it's 4 Wheeler's birthday! (yesterday actually if you really want to split hairs) Happy birthday, Bill! Isn't is great to be 25 again?

Hey everybody! Look at me! I'm Bowana! I carve like a Robot! Howdy, howdy, howdy!
Hey...wait a minute! Get back to work you knuckleheads!

Geedavee's now sees the light.

4WD's bumps and grinds.

Cyndi getting those pearly whites nice and purdy.

Clysdalle reminiscing about how they used to use telephones in the old days...

...while at the same time managing to produce a shnozzola on his Tiki.

Sam rockin' steady.

Lookin' sweet!

Carve Or Keep Walking!

Say something, Ringo!
"Sumpthin"

Back out of the heat in the sittin' zone, it appears that Cheeky is making some good progress.

Only 7 more just like that, right?

The Clysenstein begins to emerge.

Another 4Wheeler about to be finished in record time.

Chop's over, folks! Grab yer Tikis and run!

Thanks for hosting yet another great Chop, Bill and Lennie. Always a large time. :)

Bowana

Yes! Had a great time. Once again, thanks to our wonderful hosts!

This time clean up was a breeze -- no heavy log to lug. The "post cover" form my tiki bar is coming along. I progress I made really amp'd me up. I finished it while watching the boob-tube. I whipped out my dremel tool. It was good for deepening the initial lines. I think a router might be in order -- since I have 7 more to go!

Happy Birthday Bill!
hope to make the next one....
you guys have TOO MUCH FUN!
:)

dang!sorry i missed it
got made to work last minute
would have rather been with you guys

happy bday bill!!

bb

I took no pictures Saturday, but here's what I started at the chop, and continued today.

great stuff Bill!

...and thank to everyone who showed up yesterday, just a really great time and a reminder of what I had missed. Just a great day minus the drama or distractions. Hope I don't have to miss anymore!
