The "river walk" was a good one, and I made it back to the sounds of on-going activity in the house. The "cronies" even went so far as to kick me out of my own tying area and the rest of the work sites until most of their plans are finished. Apparently, "Doc" let some cat out of the bag about his concern for my fatigue factor. Under my current marching orders, I'm sequestered to my office, and that room alone. There, I can finish the official tally of "lost stuff," a very nice way of making me sit on my backside while the crew works.
I have a rather disgusting question to ask, but I need the advice/wisdom of somebody or somebodies with more insight than I. Is there any way to remove the smell of human urine from the feathers that were stored in a plastic tub full of hackle? We discovered this unpleasantness yesterday, and I can't find anything on-line about the subject... probably because it doesn't happen too often. At least, I'm praying that it doesn't...
If anybody can shed some light on the matter, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll have to replace some hackle, as six Hoffman necks and a couple of saddles will become fodder for the burn barrel. And, that, my friends, is a crying shame...
Just when I thought I'd seen it all... Jerry, aka hairwing530, aka "Captain Hooks"
