So,  with the recent talk about "What are you working on?"  I want to throw in another question. Though this is none of my business I was just curious

What do you guys expect your average annual income is just from doing skull work on an annual basis MINUS all the costs for chemicals and supplies?Huh?

Me?  I think it would be around 10k

I did 55 skulls last season and netted $3600.  Went up on price this yr and hopefully won't have to invest in much equipment and will do better.  Also, product should be a little better!

You also have to take into account the grief we get from our wives when coming home smelling like rotting skulls or beetles!

Spent my whole life lookin' back
 Not lookin' ahead to see
 Trying to keep my feet on track
 Doin' what was expected of me
 Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
 Leave no forwarding address
 Before they all drive me crazy
 And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess
