If so, at my tying average speed of 2 minutes per fly, that translates into 2 X 36,000 = 72,000 minutes % 60 minutes / hr = 1,200 hours at the bench. 1,200 % 24 (hours in a day) = 50 days, if I tied 24 hours a day. Now, considering that I "run out of gas" after about 4 hours at the bench, this would mean that it'd take me 1,200 hours % 4 hours = 300 days to tie the 36,000. DUH! Ain't gonna happen !! :-P :-( :-D JIMMY D chuckalexan...@hughes.net wrote: Folks; i received my copy of Production Tying by AK Best today. Seems to be an awesome book. Can't wait to read it.
