No G. My pic of Tiki T is innocent compared to that one. That's a "priceless" candidate. LOL
Surfs definately up!

Gary...
Sorry I was so lame at the Mai Kai... I was spaced out. Jen has been giving me grief ever since... "What was up with you Saturday night?!"
I was just wandering around the gardens in awe... a 26 hour drive weighing on me... getting up at 6 am four days in a row after staying up late... sitting in the ballroom for 12 + hours, meeting so many new and old faces, getting into mischief with PolyPop, the drinks at the Mai Kai...
They're all lame excuses but I was beat Saturday night... missed the parties and was asleep by midnight.
You and Tiki T are the one of the classiest and talented couples in Florida... the time we had to hang out was treasured... Yea... I'm kicking myself for not digging up contact info to hook up with you at JAX Beach... Jen kind of sprung the whole beach day in JAX on me... not that I was complaining... but had I known earlier I would have made plans with you guys. Three miles? Lucky you! From what we saw of the area it looks like a lot of fun... I dropped some money at Surf & Skate that day too.
We'll see you guys again next year... we have the condo in Satellite again...
Hope you have a winter filled with waves!
Keep up the good work!

This was a post Trish made before the Hukilau about her candle. You might have missed it. It was under my name and might have looked like I posted, but she did. It was her one and only post......Thought I would bump it up for her in case you missed it.

Lake thanks for the kind words you say about us. We're just there doing out thang making the best of it. All work and no play makes T&G pretty bored. We had a blast watching you body surf Saturday. LAKE ATLANTIC!!!!!
I am so glad you made it back safely. Also glad you scored some warm Florida waves along the way home also. Sweet! Jax Pier can get pretty crowded. I hope you had no probs getting some waves there. I have surfed at the old pier before they tore it down to build this concrete monstousity, for years and yeras. Breaks pretty good there I have been told and seen. Get's too crowded for me. I always head to the Mayport Poles to surf with the Dolphins. No worries about the fly through. I'll catch ya next time. Surf and Skate Huh! Spent alot of money in there myself. Did you talk to the owner "Gary", longhaired tall guy about my age?
It's cool about the Mai Kai. We knew you were spent when you started making conversation with the Puffer fish in the fish tank. I think we were all pretty spent! I know I was and I REALLY know Trish was after (2) "Barrels"......One Mai Tai, One 1/2 Barrel, and a Pina Colada was all I needed to float my ass right on outta there. Thanks to Mctiki and Valhine for the ride!!!!! We owe you guys big time!
It was a real pleasure to meet your wife. She seems like a pretty cool chica! Nice choice bro'!
I wrap more later. Time to hit the time clock to go home!!!!
Welcome home dude. It was grand............
G.

Mooney. When we walked up and saw your big A-Frame tiki outside the ballroom I looked at Trish and said Holy " ". You deserve as many props as anyone my man. I wish I had spent more time wrapping with you till we were leaving. Hope to see you next year if not before.
Hey by the way, the girl Crash who came down to meet me as we were leaving, do you know her username or have contact info for her. She gave us a little something as we were shoving off and I just wanted to shoot her a thanks...If so can you PM me?
Thanks Jim. Your stuff rocked Huki as well!

Congatiki thanks very much. We were very grateful for the reception we received being a rookie there. Everyone was as friendly and receptive as we had hoped for and left there feeling like we were welcome:) We can't wait till next year.

Tiki G,
It looks like you are having a killer time at the Hukilau. Are you carving full time, or just busting them out? All the tikis in your backyard look killer. I used to carve in my backyard but the neighbors were starting to become passive aggressive. Do you ever get sad when the tikis are gone? Sometimes it feels like you are loosing a family member.
Great work,
Will

Will thanks, no not full time, just AFTER my full time job which means I have two full time jobs!
Yeah we had a blast at Hukilau. Too much fun with a little bit of work mixed in. Would have been nice to spend more time doing what eveyone else was doing instead of vending the whole time, but we managed to make the best of it while we were there. Who say's you can't party and work at the same time. Perks of being your own boss!!! How could you be at the Hukilau and not party anyways???????????
I wonder at times if my neighbors are ready to kill me. Dust everywhere, air compressors running, electric grinders buzzing, chainsaw roaring.....but I guess they are use to it by now or they would complain. The are pretty cool about it for the most part. We usually shut everything down by 8:00pm out of respect. Guess that helps.
Yeah I know what you mean, they (tikis) grace my house for a short period, then off they go to grace someone elses house. It's cool though. I have actually kept (3) now for myself out of about (300). "Whoo-Hoo"
Catch ya later,

Man, I wish Talla Luna Tikilassee would want to do that with me! That's great..(Hey, remember how cool it was when George Jones and Tammy Wynette started singing together? Or when the guy dropped the chocolate into the peanut butter and made the first Reese's PBC?)
