Hi Mike, I have my children for a time every summer this year it is a
little short of a month. The rest of the time they live with their
mother in Maine. So when they are here I hunt and work (on meteorites)
as little as possible. Yes business is very slow this time of year,
some of my friends who sell almost exclusively on E bay struggle every
summer, just to stay above starvation. That is my main distraction,
not to mention that it is just too hot to hunt the southern deserts
this time of year.
