Title: Why I hate Columbus Day
Post by: Bladepeek on October 10, 2011, 12:23:00 PM
I got an email from Chad Francis last week. My Lost Creek bow was nearly done and would ship out Monday (today).

I haven't even seen pictures yet, but Chad said it came in at 44#. I asked for 42 to 48, so I'm all excited and can't concentrate on balancing the checkbook, or much of anything else.

Been hoping for maybe a Wednesday delivery; Thursday at the latest. I woke up this morning and realized it definitely would not mail out today. BUMMER!

He reason I hate it is because I have to work.

I gave that up as too tiring 15 years ago   :)

I'm in the boat with you.   Waiting on my BigJim Buffalo bow, and the closed PO today just adds another day to the wait!

Hey...when you're THAT close, you'll likely not get a lot of sympathy around here with guys waiting half to full year or more!   :rolleyes:  

Read here years ago, where someone said they'd not order a bow with a long wait cause at their age, "...they don't even buy green bananas anymore!"  :)  I think I'm now at a point where I "resemble that comment."

Go find the worst project you hate the most and start to tackle that... then the wait won't seem so bad!  :)

Um, if you shoot each one of your 8 bows you already have, one a day, you won't even get through them all  :coffee:

I went out this morning and when I got back I had a pressent waiting. Opened her up took it out back and fired a few off. Ok I got another bow but now comes the work to tune her up and quiet it down.

Waiting is just part of it all in a days work.
