#notafurry: too much NSFW stuff for me. this year already off to a bad start, since its on most minds.
Even my expenses are way up, cutting back commissions....I still want to do them...but >$500 might not be worth it.
When I first started, i heard allot of success stories. Furry got me out of the shell and did allot of photo ops, paneling, staffing, donations.
Heck even when
zarafa had his suit stolen a few years ago and watching the fandom ban together to help him out. Not the case with me. 2016 Came, and my opportunities went up and tried be financial independent. I had more money to spend so I started a few commissions. Apoxon, Taku, and a few others. (lemonbrat too I think), things got better for me at least. By 2017, got a huge raise and retirement setup. A this point I can afford more things so I started saving to get a house and/or place of my own. Things went sour after 
crazyjoe1952 convinced me to hire laborers, since I though he mentioned he worked with those type of people. He was over helping me with repairs that year: 2018. Since then he disappears realizing he got in over his knee. Trying to hire those guys was a big mistake as they scammed me...possibly robbed me too (see robbery post below). This is why #illegals have left a bad taste and are the 'bane' of my existence. Since where I work is a sanctuary city, strange shit and me getting screwed happens all the time if I was not watching my back every moment/every time a deal is made. Shitty #illegals traffic every day.
Commissions (-1.5): Still waiting on my replacement tail, pretty much given up. Since the tail is irreplaceable at this point, not getting a maker to make anything (even on etsy). =
Being profitable is my biggest goal now, at least my losses could have been covered and I would be buying better gear if it was a biz.
Takumori - 3 suits in front since 3/2017. I am beginning to wonder...he seams interested still....but how long can you be stuck on 3?
takumori does need help? a close friend? a visitor, I don't know. Like most, fighting mental issues. I wish I can help and do a co-op project, doesn't look like there is an interest in working with me...like many other makers...
Alien Eye Creations/Brum - If anything, I am learning there is no reason for people not to lie. I don't know is ADHD is an issue, but excuses are excuses. Getting tired of all the BS.
Need to focus on other things. I will probably touch base one last time in a few months to drop it all, kinda need to move on...
Over 2 years since i lost many of my items: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9216113/ - I'm considering the property irreplaceable and the time in this fandom probably ended for me. I got zero support from the fandom, Zero support from the makers (even after my dryer killed my kigu, we upgraded the dryer since the sensors broke). Apoxon took almost 10 months to get back to me. I prefer to make custom stuff on etsy as they can take the fall if the maker falls though their. Most are getting pay on unemployment as it cost me on taxes right now, thus not willing to do any work unless its someone famous.
I visited crazyjoe1952 and didn't feel like wearing a tail as much any more and realizing how much my custom stuff cost, I may be backing down allot of things. Joe did help me fixed my Drake 2.0 suit so i can at least wear him. But at this point my interest to even work on him is practically dead, might try working on the firmware next month (got a nice ESP32 controller been wanting to tinker with)
I will say it "This fandom is a complete let down".
While crazyjoe1952 is in VR and loves it, I really have no interest as people just stair at there self in mirrors instead of bring productive. Heck if QC quantum computing is the next wave of computing tech, count me in.
This may be the last post for a while (otherwise you will just here about how bad Cali is gotten)
Since pricing for things are skyrocketing and hotels/cons costing more, I will not be doing allot of Cali events.
You may not see me at much cons or traveling unless its strictly business (sponsored by http://www.drakescomputers.com my tech biz). I still work a day job (http://www.orbitelectric.com), with 10% inflation and not getting 10% more raise, I may have to look for job in a better state like Texas or Florida. They already moved me out of my own office, which you may have seen in other videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF.....iRrwyGcLx7GxDg). I am still maintaining IT related matter, do not feel like a manager any more (although I manage myself the best).
I still will fix thing, I enjoy finishing projects...but right now. I think Furry is finished. And if any artist wonder why I don't support on Patron any more, because I don't get any support but a few artists I know (like Steve Martin, RedDragon).
#paranormal - Yup been a an investigator long before furry....probably will focus more on this.
