To all my tiki fans just to let you know I am going to have knee replacement surgery Feb 16th I will be away from my carving for a couple of weeks but plan on being @ OA as soon as possible . Since I wont actually be carving tikis for awhile I can spend more time talking and reminiscing with friends call and come by OA I'd love to hear from you. You have been the ones keeping tikianna and my passion for carving alive. Please keep me in you prays and thoughts as I recoup and get use to my new bionic part. |

Leroy- My prayers for a speedy recovery are with you as well, sir. Positive mana attracts positive mana. Your contributions to the positive nature of the human spirit is incalculable(I know my friends feel the same way too)
Leroy - God Bless you for your enormous body of art contributed to our community. |

I was just at your home base and was wondering where you were. Not to be a jerk but screw relaxing and get back to making some great stuff! If OA runs out I'll have to take some prisoners. |

i hope when i round the block of new knees, they have the thing down pretty good... a week ago i was up... coming down on a snowboard praying my knees would not explode on the next run. And with all the snow we are finally getting... i'll take having a blow out pushing snow around rather then palm logs! if i do i know where i'll rest up.... Bob's Mai Tai are pretty good, and a Leroy story ain't bad either..... |

WOW! The Six Million Dollar Leroy!! About time....Glad to hear you're getting that taken care of. You're too much of a bull to be grazing in the fields! Speaking of grazing bulls, Kiara and I will come by soon for our Steak 'n Stein date with you and Bob. Take care and get that saw n' chisel back in your paws! Jordan |

Leroy, Here's wishing you a super speedy recovery. BTW, I named the the Tikiyaki Stage tikis you designed and had made for us "Bob" and "Leroy". Looks like I need to pay a visit to OA soon and say hello. If it weren't for you and Bob, we'd have very little to talk about on this forum. :) |

Hey Leroy, Hope they've given you a good quantity of quality meds, and that they're kickin' in nicely for you. Libby and I enjoyed seeing you again a couple weeks ago, and we expect to be back to visit for a materials run before too long. Maybe you'll show off your sexy new scars. Heal up soon and well, and our good wishes for your speedy recovery. Oh yes, one last word -- Kneepads. Can't recommend 'em highly enough. And I've got my reasons. Best Aloha, |
