OK......here's my situation!
I drop off a Mule Deer and Antelope head with my taxidermist. The date is October 5th, 2004. This is a taxi that has done three heads for me so far. Does pretty good work.
The first head he did for me took about a year. The other two closer to a year and a half. So he has a little bit of a rep for not having the greatest turn around. He works strictly by himself and refuses to have anybody help him. Anyway, I have not gotten those heads back yet from 04'!!
Here's what I've done so far. Last May, I called him. That was about a year and a half. I says, just seeing if your still alive and in business......how's it going? You know, the typical. He says, my Mom's been sick lately.....yada yada, they should be done in July. Ok fine, no big deal. So July passes, August passes, then huntin' season comes, I figure he's busy taken in heads, whatever. So then comes January. Now granted, I still have not heard from him since I called him in May and he said they would be done in July!
Anyway, it's now January. It's now been 2yrs. and 3 months since I dropped those heads off. Oh, by the way.....each head is $500! I gave him 5 hundy up front, I'll pay the rest upon pick-up. That alone should be motivation for him to finish my sh.t, right? January, I take a drive up North with the wife and kids on a Saturday and figure I'm gonna stop in his shop. Maybe he's done and just hasn't called. Ya right.
I was prepared to kinda rip the guy a new one if my stuff wasn't done, but the guy is too nice and I couldn't do that. He says his Mom died in June and his Dad died in November. He had a rough year and was totally apologetic. He says I'm working almost round the clock now, give me about a week and half and I'll get your stuff done. Cool.
Tomorrow....that will make it 2 months ago!!
Honestly.....what would you guys do??
