behind the curtain: trying to get my business off the ground and other adventures

    As you know I had a operation on both my right wrist and my right elbow.  This caused me to take 6 weeks off from my normal job in the Gas and Oil industry.  I do love my job its interesting and pays well so I can't complain about that.  But since I was laid up, I really started knuckling down on my side hustle with comics and collectables.  I have increased the inventory, and I get out and hunt as often as I can.  I started increasing my e bay presence and expanding the items I look for.  
    When I do shows I concentrate on the comics and records more than anything, but the E bay will be expanding to a variety of everything.  
    I have a show this weekend coming up and I have some good stuff for it.  lots of killer books and some toys.  it's in Butler PA and I have vended at this show in the past and did good enough to come back to it and deal.  so that is a plus I have several more shows in the pipeline ready to go all tables are paid for and marked into the schedule.  so, the goal is to make this my permanent gig.  fingers crossed I can.  The podcast is cooking and gaining traction we had our first real guest Kieth Coogan on the last episode.  Kieth is a well know actor going back to the 70's.  he was in films like, toy soldiers, don't tell mom the babysitters dead, and adventures in babysitting.  He was a great guest the episode run time is just under two hours but packed with stories and inside info on Hollywood.  go give it a listen     lights camera pop    it's found on all podcasting platforms and soon to be on YouTube and rumble. 
    the Nomad_Obscura (where the name of the blog comes from) has some big things in the cooker as well.  new patches, stickers, and yes I have plans on a rumble channel and a podcast for it as well. 

love you all

its big its beautiful its a bill ITS A BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

      The big, beautiful bill contained some NFA items in it.  If you followed the bill, you would know what I am talking about. It held language regarding suppressors and shirt barrel rifles.  the hope was to have them removed from the NFA.  What does that mean?  well in laymen terms the feds wanted to have the SBR and all suppressors removed from the registry and that would take away the tax stamp needed to legally own one of these items.      If you want to legally possess a short barrel rifle (SBR) or a suppressor (silencer) you needed to go to a class three FFL, fill out paperwork, have papers signed by the local sheriff and turn in fingerprints an pay a 200-dollar tax stamp fee.  All this paperwork was then sent to the BATF and you waited.  the weight time was in most cases close to a year before you got the thumbs up or down. all this was just stupid and unnecessary.  it was like bureaucratic busy work. ...

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

      I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my hands, wrists and arm for a little over two years now.  My right hand was always the worst of the two.  It got to the point where I cannot sleep, loosing feeling and in constant pain.  It feels like a match in lit in my wrist and as the day rolls on it becomes a blow torch.  I finally spoke with my PCP about it and got a referral to see a specialist.  and after a battery of testing its determined that I need an operation, at first it was carpal tunnel in my wrist but after speaking with the surgeon it was found I also need a operation on my nerve leading into the thumb on my right hand as well as an operation on my right elbow so four places need operated in total.  man, when I go big, I GO BIG I guess.      I'm hoping all this will clear up all the pain I'm in.  I need sleep and to be human once again.  I have several irons in the fire and need to be healthy.  I...
