Official Luthiers Forum!

I've been off for almost a month now, I should be relaxing and enjoying my time but instead I'm swamped with things to do. I've not even been able to get out to the shop in the last 5 days, there is so much going on that I feel like I'm drowning..

I have one kid going off to college in a few weeks and we are planning for that, I have to two job offers and each is a really good job and I'm doing drug tests, application info, and trying to decide which way to go (one is slow and safe and the other looks fun and challengin and has a greater crash and burn quotient). I have some schooling I have to get finished before the end of the month that I'm slogging through (and testing that goes along with that). I promised my wife I would work on the front room and get it finished before I went back to work which will be at the end of next month. We got ripped off on E-Bay and we are in the middle of dealing with that, and there are lot's of little shop things going on.

I can't keep up anymore, I have to stop and concentrate on this schooling stuff and knock it out so I can go back to normal (my career is counting on this). So I'm checking out for a couple of weeks to get through this crunch time. I'm so overloaded that I want to go back to work just so I can relax again.

Michelle placed orders for supplies from LMI and the new humidifier for the shop at least SOME things are getting done but I'm not sure when I will get a chance to actually touch either of them

So if you email me, don't expect a response anytime soon. I'm going to go into seclusion and study my brains out and try to get all this stuff taken care of and out of my hair and then it's back to building and causing trouble again.

Cheers

A wise friend once told me (Bruce Dickey, when my son was born), guitars will always be there, enjoy where your at. We'll be here when you get back.

Chow for now friend.
