While I’ve re-opened the queue, I’m only taking requests for military emblems, any custom modeling requests are being declined.

I think that one of the main factors in my getting burned out was the time pressure.  Most of that was caused by allowing deadlines to push back the non-deadline work so much that it stacked up.  I don’t want 70 or 80 models in my queue, even without deadlines and no one asking when their model would be ready having people waiting 8 or 9 months to get their request done drives me nuts.  I tried correcting that for a while last year by instituting a fee and a strict limit on deadlines but as of right now I’m not doing deadlines at all, I’m making the models in the order received.

I didn’t get the reset I was expecting by hiking 6 months, probably because I only got 4 days of actual hiking in.  I’m still burned out, I still dread opening Aspire, but my window for a through hike is already closed for this year.  There are people starting now but I’m still 3 weeks away from being cleared to start working out and hike again, and after 2 months of no exercise to speak of I’m not fool enough to try to knock out 2200 miles by the end of August.

Here’s the current queue.
