I had forgotten there's not much rest for a taxidermist. Not sleeping at night. 230 in the mornings your in your shop alone. Classic rock station on the radio. The smell of bondo, Acetone. Epoxies in the air. I just tell myself it smells just like money in here. Resperator? When I'm airbrushing? Don't need no stinking respirator. I actually like the smell of airbrush cleaner. Smells like candy
Deer coming in steady. It's a good sign. I had a thought that it would possibly take 2 years before I could establish my taxi business again but evidently my reputation doing good work never left my name. People hearing I'm back in the game has been a blessing.

Good for you Bud. Glad your business is getting going again.

Reconsider that respirator please. And do you still do the flys?.....jk I think I have the right person

I had an idea one time that I might want to do taxidermy on the side but I figured out quick that laying waterline, sewer and storm drain for a living doesn’t leave any time for side work. I also figured out that after doing a few mounts for myself that I do not have the patience to do it for others. I respect taxidermists and glad they do what they do. Most people don’t realize the work involved until they try it themselves. Congrats on the success! Hard work does pay off.

Jk. Yes I do occasionally but the taxi is taking up most of my time these days
