Wow! No wonder it's a slow process!

  Dang! Is it heated where you work on the waterbug?

  That's great, D! I can imagine how hard that kind of weather is, D! 

It's single digits here and lots of wind, more than tough enough on us.

 

Thats so cool.
It's not a job when you're doing something you love.
 So far No one has needed a pro coyote killer but I keep putting the word out...

Doing it yourself often leads to life changing events.

Years ago I was manning a guard shack for a couple of hours before I went on patrol.

Times were lean and close to Christmas. I was finishing a knife to gift to one of my sons for Christmas. I was not considering making knives for income, the thought not even considered.

Along came a friend and he stopped to visit. When he saw the knife, he said he just had to have it and asked what I had to have for it. Of course, my old horse trading light went on and I asked him what he could offer. He offered $375 ! 

My mind raced but my horse sense kicked in and I told him he just bought a knife. I also told him I would have the knife finished soon and would have a sheath for it. He paid cash on the spot and paid half down on another one! I was stunned! Of course, I had no clue what to charge for the knife when he asked. He offered much more than I would have asked for.

He put out the word while showing off the knife and orders flooded in. Business has been brisk since and I am now trying to finish orders and retire the business.

Knives have built my two buildings out back, filled them up, and put beans on the table.

Opportunities often come along from unexpected incidents.
