What 12 pounds of foam looks like

8 feet high, 4 feet wide and 18 inches thick. :-)

Is that a new truck? Yours, or does it belong to James?

Hey Mike, you have an incredible eye for detail. That's Judy's new truck...James has the Red GMC - which now has a new stereo, amp and two 10" subs under the rear seats. :-)

How are things with Calibrated? I saw the pic's from Surf Expo, nice art work on the little Piscus. How are the boys and Molly?

Reminds me of 2001. Once Jeff figures out how to take the plastic sheet off well have visitors from Jupiter :-)

Where exactly are you buying this stuff, at a party sore? Why does a party store have jumbo sheet of foam?

That is so funny Ed. I bought this at a place in Sacramento called the Party Concierge (sp?) on Dos Rios. When I walked into the showroom they had a life size foam carving of an Elephant head, a full on Tiger and some other stuff. Lawrence has a CNC mill and hotwire to carve these things. Apparently they can recreate virtually any object paint it with water based paints and when it's done it weighs - well 12 pounds :-)

In his warehouse he must have had...5,000 sheets of foam in various densities and dimensions.

Jupiter? I think one of those space aliens used to work for me...had difficulty making it to the office on Mondays - must have been the difference in the length of weekends on Jupiter compared to Earth. :-)

Things are well here. The board with the cool new mermaid artwork is the Chmel pro-model, a 46" swallow tail. The family is good, the twins are turning one this weekend.
