Looks like a Termite Buffet up in there!
Get busy. You have only a few hours remaining.
Make good use of them!

Jeff, I envy you. I keep looking at your thread for inspiration and I noticed you've got guitars in your house with the tikis and bikes. Carving tikis, surfing and playing some cool tunes with your best friend (your dog). It doesn't get any better than that. I like to play guitar in my spare time too. Anyways, good luck with the tiki business.

yeah, the guitar ain't mine....that's my roomate, Kristina's.
I'm a music lover, but I can't play a note!
and sorry if I haven't been very "inspirational" here lately. All this holiday festiveness (along with getting paid on some stuff and having a pocket full of cash) has distracted me a bit here lately. I need to get back on top of things.
One of the things I've been doing instead of working is playing with my boat. I joined this boat club in the neighborhood so now my boat sits right next to a boat ramp right near downtown, so I've been doing some evening cruises. Right before the republican national convention the city put all these cool LED lights shining up on all the bridges downtown, and they're really cool from the boat at night. and last night was the lighted boat parade, which was also fun.

ok. holiday lazy time is over.
I plan on making this a big year business-wise, so I'm gonna spend most of this year holed up at the house making stuff. I know some of you guys think I work fast, but I'm about to crank it up a notch. I am seriously going after it in 2013. I've kinda weened myself off of hanging out at the bar every night like I did most of this last year, and I'm very focused on making better tikis, making more tikis, selling more tikis, and building my brand.
So today I had to send the fir trader off to his new home in oregon, so I have to make something really cool to make me feel better.
so here we go....this is a dramatically pitched piece of palm that will be a lono with a ridiculous headdress...and will be the 3rd of a 4 piece set I'm using for my side business as rentals, alongside the big kanaloa & ku...
