the slave will take a short break from the sweat shop to give everyone a quick update. The boss went for food so I have some time to type. First, I am still alive. Second I am down to my last 6 poppers. I will then only have 12 Monocacy Bumble Bees to tie up tonight and the Orvis order will be done. I can't wait. I am tied of tying!!! I made a bunch of balsa popper bodies yesterday. We also had to run out for hackle as I needed some black hackle for my purple popper. All the purple hackle I had was too small. I started tying poppers at 8 at night. I finished at 2 in the morning. I had 36 done. I figured out that I average around 6 minutes a popper. Not bad but not great. I am and have never been a fast tyer. I got up this morning and aside from eating I have been tying all day. I am glad to be almost finished! I should probably run now and get bench at work before the boss finds me "relaxing" and on a break! Here is how the bench looked when I left it at 2 in the morning.....
Well I was going to post a photo but it would not load right and Blogger doesnt allow you an way to turn them. So no photo. Sorry.
Yup, tying pro takes the fun out of it sometimes. I gotta get some of your flies man. I will pay with Paypal or cash . . . C'mon, hook a brotha' up.
