Hello, starting to get back to some stability here after my laptop crashed. Had a tech guy out and had the mother board and both sticks of memory replaced. Was rolling along just fin a couple days goes by and I am gathering info, saw an update pop up in the bottom right corner, clicked it and went about my way. Came back later the next morning and ohhh guess what laptop crashed again uhhhhh say what. I did another few hours on the phone with the Dell people only to have to wait a few more days to have it fixed. Gosh was quite an order yall, after several tough days and having to remove the hard drive and back it up to recover what I had and buy another laptop so I wont be in this situation ever again, it was a tough lesson but lesson learned. I finally was able to get all pending orders out and wow had a bunch of WS going out, I mean a bunch.
I squeezed some time in yesterday to take my 14 year old duck hunting to a local spot of a guy from our church. We got put just in time, had a few minutes before legal shooting, gosh it was cold here yesterday. Had 5 big big green heads come in and my son nailed one, he jumped up saying dad dad I got a mallard woot woot. He took off running over to grab it, he had and omgosh what a smile that boy was wearing. I couldnt see my own face, not sure who's smile was bigger. We got still again and wasnt a few minutes later he got another, Drake Wood Duck this time. Holy cow, my kid got a 2fer, his first Mallard and first Wood Duck both drakes. Talk about #prouddad, I was so happy for my son, gave him a few high fives and told him he was the man! He says dad I wish you would have gotten a few, not cool you didnt. I didnt have to get any, I got to make a couple of my best memories ever.
Getting close to closing on the house, my lender and my realtor are jonnys on the spot making it happen. I am so lucky to have these guys working on it for us. We have another Dr apt the 22, they will be doing another intensive sonogram this time we are told. They like to do that with us being older and to make sure our baby is growing normally and healthy. The wife sent me a text the other day saying she wanted to see this, hmmm clicked the link and got a couple tickets to see the RiverDance tour the 23rd. uhhh not something I am into but she is so I am going to be into it and we are going to watch some dancing.
Its awful cold down here it felt like 15 yesterday, yeah yeah I know thats nothing to what many of you all live in daily but thats pretty stinking cold to us down here. I was talking to George at DyanVap the other day, he says ohh its -15 here and kinda tough but thats how they roll. I was like bro, when is enough enough, how long are you going to have to live and exist in those conditions. He tells me hey thats part of life and why he loves it up there. Yeah well all yall can keep your 50+ inches of snow and super freaking cold weather, I will say it yall got way bigger balls than I got and thats ok, by me, Yall can have your big balls, freezing cold snow and ice and rock on in it.
Had a big big push in WS sales since the 1st, as I said I got a bunch out yesterday. I had to put almost all of them out of stock for a moment. I am waiting another batch of Ti parts to be machined which we are hoping will be next week. Got a lot of turning to do in the mean time and oh just found out I sent a WS to the wrong person, ohhhhh nooooo, so not cool. Ughhhhh such a mistake and so my bad, jeez that sucks and I feel so bad for both guys, my bad yall!
I have been working on a new design for 2018, end of February will be the start of the second year of WS woot woot. I want to do a different design for the year ahead but its tough as the look of the unit has to be one that I can duplicate on the stem/wong, not an easy task yall. This is the first idea I have spun up and still not dead set on, wanna do another or two then sleep on. Pls tell me what you all think.
Got so much happening next month, I wanna do another big give away for the 1st anniversary of the WS and my 11th in business, got so much to be thankful for. Gotta move two house next month and a couple buildings as well, biz has gotta move to so, I may have to push the celebration back a little but never the less I want to thank you for making it a whole lot of fun. 11 years wow who'da thunk it and still going strong!! Got a big big 4 day hunt here at home next week into the weekend. Going to be hitting it hard and giving it all I got but there after its time in the shop and working up a bunch of WS from that Cocobolo I have and many others.
If yall aint following me on IG you so need to have a look, always great shots posted daily, get an eye at whats going on and maybe jump on something before it goes live. The Amboyna never made it to the site, posting here and there mostly is where they all went. Dont miss out and be that guy, hit me up there!
@Dynalowrider My man, thanks so much and I appreciate the post, I hope your new year is off to a great start and I wish you all the best!
@Slagzord My man, it has been a pleasure working with you on this piece and I am looking forward to what you think of it and how well it treats you. I appreciate your cooperation and patience during my delays and issues. Nice rig you came up with, looks just as good as any $30 piece out there, as long as it does what its supposed to ya done good! Hang in there bro, there will be a WS to ya very very soon. Glad to see you are excited, you got a great piece headed your way. I wish I could tell you more and nail something down bout the WS & DV tips but I cant. I know George is always working on improvements here and there and have seen the tips change quite a bit from what he offered in the beginning. I dont have all the varieties but know many of you all mention fin count and others I have seen twists on em and such, now I hear the M doesn't fit. Guys I am sorry you all as I dont know. All I do know is that the WS tips fit the WS and I was under the understanding that all DV VC stuff interchanged but doesnt seem so. I have mentioned maybe to you where I have a guy in Australia that took a little sand paper and did some light sanding within the tip to make all his work and he has I wanna say 6 now that do. Pls know that what I am sure of is the neither I and I can not imagine George making any changes knowingly to make them not fit. I know George is cranking this things out by the 1000's and it only takes a couple .001" to make a whole lot of difference. Pls dont feel misled or taken advantage of, this is so not our intents. Hmm not sure how it would affect using a dremel taking a little off, be best to take a little then give it a go, if it works great then dont take no mo. What I do know for certain is that Ed does not rule, believe me Mrs. Ed rules and she sure let me know it last night. Before I knew it was yes maam and you are right maam and I will make it happen maam. Ohhhh I rule nothing and thats fine with me.
@WakeAndVape Thank you my man, been thinking and talking bout you matted of fact, seems we work in the same circles and got to thinking bout next time you make it down this way. Omgosh thats a tough tough question bro! Ohhh well now, I have been working with our guy here
@Aezhenn to put together a different kind of stash like none other done. I made a prototype long long back asked Aezhenn if he could do it and so he has. Just yall wait, the WS stash is very stinking cool and sure to be a big hit. I have a few coming but dont feel they will last long, I will probably need to get more made as soon as I list em.
I like this new design, like a golden trophy with beautiful curves.
