Hello every one,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am not finished making calls. I Just need to slow down and take a break from it for a wile. Being in the shop for hours after work during the week and most of my weekends has left me feeling like a stranger to my wife and two young girls. There has been some friction one would expect within my marrage. My wife is a HS band director and her job requires her to work nights with pep bands and concerts. It is always quite an orchestration to coordinate both our schedules. In the end our two girls seem to get the short end of the stick. Success in call building has its down sides. I seems history has a way of repeating it self. I can think of quite a few call makers that have gotten allot of recognition and then kind of fell off the map. I don't plan on falling off the map. The shop I built for making calls in has never been completely finished and there are some more pieces of equipmet I need to make things easier and faster that I would like to buy or build. Also I have been wanting to build a finishing room with proper ventilation to apply finish to my calls. So when my girls are a little bigger and maybe even help, and I get my ducks all in a row I plan to get up and running at full steam again. For now I am just trying to get caught up with the orders I have. 2012 was not the best year for me and I apologize to those who are still waiting for calls. I am a man of my word and to those still waiting, those calls will get done. A Dan Seals Country song comes to mind here Every thing that Glitters is not Gold. One line in particular "with every thing gained there is something lost" That seams to ring true to me. Everyone I have talked to about this have been very supportive and that means the world to me.
Thanks
Jerry
