Down Time
Every now and then its time to put the tying of flies on hold for awhile and let other more important priorities take its place.
I continue to have vision problems that dont seem to get better (even after eye surgery) that needs my utmost attention. Wearing an eye patch when tying is not fun.
I also have a major home renovation that will begin today with an hvac contractor replacing my entire furnace and central air conditioner. $$$$$ big bucks!
But don't dispair, I'll be back in no time.
Thank you for understanding.
