Ed, you're always keeping us so psyched !

The Leucadia Project's creativity is truely out of control !

Portrait of Miss Anne's cat Necko. The real Necko was accidentally run through the dryer and survived. She is the most zen cat you will ever meet. Nothing bothers her except the sight of the laundry being done. If you look closely you can see some dryer lent in her ear. Very authentic



Portrait of Miss Anne's rabbit Merlin a.k.a. the Bunny Man. Merlin is a very cool rabbit they rescued.



Here is Miss Anne and Daisy who stopped by to show me her dirty wax art and claim her new WAX BUDDY. Anne did a great job with the wax art. I really liked the use of clam shells, flower peddles and leaves. Very creative Miss Anne.


Wow.

We never expected our little 'Buddy to be such a pall across the spectrum- humans, dogs, cats, bunnys . . . we're loving it.

Thanks Ed, Anne, Necko, Merlin !

Hi Ron!

First of all THANK YOU . . .

Cheri said that she and Bethany thought it was one of the best designs they've seen for wax scrapers... plus they're cute! Bethany said it works really good. She keeps one in her truck and uses it frequently! . . . they are very grateful and super stoked on the product! A big MAHALO from the whole family !

Aloha,

Becky (Baumgartner) Hamilton

Shannon and Her Wax Buddy

The guys at Wax Buddy sent me a box of their famous wax combs to give out to people who do our dirty wax art project. Shannon was the first to send one in and scored the first one. Here she is with her new Wax Buddy in hand. Her boyfriend Chris Miller did a great job with the photo shoot. Little does she know that he is going to walk off with that as soon as she sets it down. Enjoy your photo Shannon. You'll never see it again.

I know how exciting these post have been... I just realized how many photos of brown boxes I've been adding. BORING. thanks for letting me know...

This is a weak attempt to make this a little more exiting to read.

We took a break, and let the phone ring from 2:00 till now... (don't worry I got all your orders, boxed 'em and shipped)

We uncovered a gem hiding underneath the results of 40 years of coastal living



1 jug of car soap,
1 tin of rubbing compound,
1 tin of polishing compound,
2 lbs of wax,
7 towels,
6 servings of elbow greese...

recipe to make a '69 ford shine





thanks everyone for an incredible week.

well ... adios, this kid's off to the beach... hunting some waist high peelers!!

today has been out of control... seriously

I think I'm going to need another phone line again.

your orders will ALL arrive in time for weekend antics C:

Earlier this spring, Ron bailed his daughter Olivia out of school and headed west with a pair of boards strapped to the roof. They eventually made it to california, and surfed from malibu to san diego, hitting every spot they could think of. malibu, doheny,t.street, san-o, trestles, swami's, cardiff. and the list goes on... you know the spots, one month later they'd gotten them all. Of course, heaps of wax buddy's were delivered EVERYWHERE. A trip they'll remember forever.



wax has a way of disappearing after a few thousand miles on top of a truck.
quick pre-surf touch up at sanO



shades on, disguising closed eyes while making the odometer spin... ~4,200 miles in at this point

Slow update/post #2... These were hanging outside on tuesday waiting for the Fedex sleigh.

Thanks everyone for making this such a great week so far.

The 'buddy invasion continues.

A little behind schedule on these posts- here's some monday Wax Buddy shipments exiting the headquarters. (don't worry guys, I only forgot to post the photos, not ship them)

If your box is pictured here, you are already enjoying your recycled goodness. and also, this message will self destruct in 2 seconds.....

Greg,

Great wax comb!

Just stripped my 11 foot CJ model and having that handle design makes all the difference.Wanted to say thanks for sending to CJ. He was home this weekend, first time since Thanksgiving. I gave him your combs and note. He left ONE for me to use. Nice having a son that shares the goodies...

...Anyhow, great idea, great comb. In SC we recycle everything.

Thanks & Aloha from Santa Cruz,

'Pops' Nelson
