Surfintiki, mucho gracious amigo! Yep slapped some on her last night as a matter of fact. I slammed it around on the floor, in the saw dust pile, then dropped it a few times as well. Re-sanded some of the stain because I saw some obtrusive sanding marks that just urked me that you cannot see till you stain. Nothing like doing things twice. I always said I ran a "do and re-do" department.

Flacookz thanks. Yeah I have tried all kinda directions here latley. My mind flutters at times. I like mixing it up! Your stuff is looking really good as well. The skull tiki is cool. Keep it up!
B.K., Glad to see you back around. Thanks for the compliment. Mucho Gusto. I've been working hard since your departure. I've learned a few things, carved different styles, and made a few dollars for the effort. It's been fun. We all miss seeing what masterpieces you come up with. This new one you are working on is going be jake I know. Looking forward to meeting you down at Hukilau if you make it.

And here I thought I was getting old! I got a ways to go in that field. My daughter is only 7.
A true and hearty congratulations from the Seamus clan! I'll smoke (another) cigar in your honor and get started on my next round of MaiTais right away. Best wishes to your family.

Thanks alot everyone for the warm wishes. Everythings fine! Feels weird being a grandfather;) Life is a wonderful thing......
Looks like we will be making Hukilau for sure now. She was originally due end of September. I was just sure she would be late and go into labor the weekend of Hukilau and I would not be able to make it. So all is well. Trish and I are finishing up some stuff we will be bringing down. Been working pretty hard at it. From the looks of it we're not the only ones!

Thanks alot Ben. No I did not think so. 43 years old and a G-Pa? Who would have thought. Let's see...If I get her on a surfboard at 5 years old, we'll be paddling out together for years to come. That's quality time! Hell I won't even be 50 yet!!!! That's a good thing.
Uh, baby sitting will be minimal....carving time maximal.
