i wish my wife was this dirty

This captures the essence of my drive home from work on Friday. Someone wrote on the tailgate of this dirty work truck. If you can't read it, this is what it says: "i wish my wife was this dirty." Next time I be sure to get a better pic.

board update

This is a 5'5" that my dad and I shaped out of an old board - we stripped the glass and decided to make a quad. The board looks insane, except for the cancer spots due to being shaped out of old foam. It's 5'5" x 19 1/4" x 2 5/8" - hopefully it's not too small. You can see how flat the deck is in one of the pics - all the rocker is in the bottom, so with any luck it should float and trim quite well.

I hate doing these, but check out the grain - they're going to be gorgeous after being glassed (nose and tail blocks for mom's board):

halloween revisited

we just threw out some uncarved pumpkins we had from halloween. here's this year's pumpkin - i used a dremel and i have to say it works quite well.

mexican mustache vending machine

A few weeks ago we went to El Taco de Mexico in Ventura. We were excited to find the 25 and 50 cent candy machines. However, the real excitement concerned the 50 cent mustaches, available in the sticky hand plastic bubbles (and they had sticky hands, too). They have everything from handle bar mustaches to little adolfs in every color. Here's a picture of the reaped rewards, hat and glasses not included:
