Bouncing from wall to wall
Isn't this nice, personal Blogs on LW! Got to love LW. Johanna, and Kate rock, even if getting out of bed is a little slower nowadays...lol.
It's lonely out here in the backroads of NC, but I'm managing to keep busy in the shop, everyday. Songbird is playing some blues on the linux box. The dogs are in and out, as usual. The back bench has some molded cases and sheaths drying. The to-do bench has some chap repairs, zippo cases to finish, a couple of belts, and some of toolbags to start making up.The rest of the shop really really really needs a clean up. Oh, that reminds me. I have to mix up a new batch of vinegaroon.
It's starting to warm up from two weeks of cold. Today might be in the 50s, tomorrow might make 60. Looks like I'm riding the Sportster tomorrow.
I have to go to Raleigh and collect on the sale of a solo bag through a local indy. He reported the customer was thrilled. That's the only bad part of not making the actual sale...you don't get to talk to the customer.
The plan for the next few months is inventory! I'm hoping to do some bigger shows this year (hopefully, the "SmokeOut" in Rockinham, in June, for sure), and had better get off my arse, and start beating on the bench. The custom stuff keeps getting in the way, but it's all good. Still ain't making a paycheck, but I am getting established locally. By the way, you can name your company (Rocky River Leather Co.) anything you want, but if the locals want to call you "Dave, the Leather Guy", you can't do a damn thing about it.
I guess that's enough for a first entry. Hope this catches on with a bunch of members.
