Wow that's a lot of sushi! You've reached the fun part to carve. Did you skip the tortillas?

I started the next wish list painting. Photos soon.

Yup. Ate the insides

Cheers

I’ll go check out the painting!!!

IMG_6798IMG_6799

Not posting the painting yet. Carving looking so good. We had Chevy's yesterday.

Ok. I’ll check back

Last dinner with my bro, ribeye! He’s heading home tomorrow am

IMG_6811IMG_6812IMG_6813

Ok, I had a fun idea for meal decisions

What’s easier than rolling dice?

Well, technically a die

Thought I’d mix things up a bit, had a custom die made, before bed I’ll roll it and that’s how we will eat the next day!

Here are the 6 choices it could land on

IMG_6828IMG_6826IMG_6827IMG_6825IMG_6824IMG_6823

  1. Fasting day
  2. One carnivore meal only
  3. Two carnivore meals
  4. Two no fat meals
  5. Two keto meals
  6. Eggs for 3 meals

Just rolled it: tomorrow is 2 no fat meals!

Cheers

That is a really fun idea. I sure hope you show us your meal each day. If you die isn't balanced perfectly you may end up with the same meal choice every day!!!

lol

Yes yes yes IMG_6850IMG_6849IMG_6852IMG_6854

IMG_6836

Not hungry

So

Skipped dinner

Thus

Carnivore 1 meal

Right now, Elk Grove is celebrating restaurant week. We use our phone to check in and earn a point. Today we started at Bad Baker and got 2 doughnuts, 10% off. Then to Dragon Beaux for Hot and Sour Soup, Shui Mai and baked barbeque bao, 15% off. Next up was Big Kahuna frozen yogurt for a buy one get one free. We earned 3 points. When we reach 10 points we are entered into a drawing for fun prizes. We put the frozen yogurt into the freezer.

This goes on through next Sunday. We are having fun with a staycation. If I hadn't canceled, it due to arm pain we would have been on Oahu. 6 weeks and no pain since the cortisone shots!!!

The carving looks great. Have fun with the super tiny teeth. Do you have a micro dremmel? I love mine.

Sounds fun

No micro-dremel, micro bits

IMG_6879IMG_6880IMG_6882IMG_6883IMG_6884

Eyes and ears next

IMG_6902

Wife ready for the game!!!!

Wow, that looks so good. You did so many of the fun parts. Looking forward to seeing the eyes!!! How was that for an appropriate sentence for the activity to come?

Perfect Wendy

Well, the Steeler game didn’t go so well. Next year. 😞

IMG_6930IMG_6932IMG_6933IMG_6934IMG_6935

IMG_6936IMG_6937IMG_6939IMG_6940IMG_6941

1 more step !!!

Eye inlay

IMG_6942IMG_6943

Dry, cut down, just need to make them flush!

IMG_6950IMG_6949

Wow that last step was unexpected. He looks great. This is on to show off with!

Thanks, Wendy, all done

IMG_6973IMG_6974IMG_6976

Even better with sanded eyes.

What's next?

🤔

Well, sad news for Vegas, “Reclaimed Secrets” is moving to Texas! Stopped by today to pick up some cutoffs and say goodbye!

Here it is:

My haul:

IMG_7068

Wow, it's a happy time seeing all the future projects in the rough. They were lucky to have you stop by. I hope they gave you a bargain.

Yup, great deal!

How about some salmon for breakfast

😆

IMG_7112IMG_7115

IMG_7140

A very cute baby salmon!

I love all the big boy toys. Tools make life so much better and easier. Dan was really impressed with your Kava Kava man Butt I noticed there was no Butt Crack. Needs it bro!

lol

I was afraid the crack would crack, lol.

IMG_7282

The boat is looking good. You crack me up! I could have Dan pose for you.

[ Edited by danlovestikis on 2026-01-22 11:23:03 ]

Lil break

How about a lil sign for Beer Zombies

IMG_7303IMG_7304IMG_7306

Well this wood is awesome

IMG_7310

But

The BZ looks like 13%

I’ll fix it tomorrow

Osage Orange:

Osage Orange, Maclura pomifera, is a beautiful wood from the southern Midwest! The heartwood is golden to bright yellow, which usually ages to a darker medium brown with time, primarily due to exposure to UV light. Osage Orange is extremely durable and is considered to be one of the most decay resistant woods in North America.

IMG_7360IMG_7363

I was fooled. What is BZ? Nice stars.

BZ

Made it for Beer Zombies tap and bottle room

Cool, do they have a shelf where they can display it?

I hope so, lol.

The other day, when I picked up all that wood, I noticed a small piece had some leftover red epoxy in one corner, needed to make something red. Got it, this is my friend’s favorite drink.

IMG_7413

So let’s go

IMG_7399IMG_7403IMG_7406IMG_7408IMG_7411IMG_7410IMG_7409

A perfect rendition. The photography makes it stand out rather than indented in one photo. I bet he'll love it.

👍🏼

Beer Zombie can art:

“Pinhead beer zombie”

Wow, that's very creepy. A fun one to carve. Good to enjoy what you are doing.
