I sympathize. But usually wait till after. The bills seem to sour the rye. [Rant1]
Whew, made it this week. Ha!
I've applied for a better position at work. If I get it, hopefully the pay will be significantly better. Not sure if I've bitched about it on here yet (I bet I have), but putting wife and kid on my health insurance caused me to take a hit of $171 PER CHECK. My dismal raise this year worked out to something like $13 a check. So needless to say, I'm taking home significantly less this year than last. Basically I have it set up that most of my paycheck pays the mortgage each check, and my wife's check pays everything else. I COULD not over pay on my house and other things, but a little pain now will reap great benefits in the end (like taking 18 years off my mortgage).
Anyway, think I'll go to bed now. Carry on. :)

So.... I've been hitting the gym pretty hard the last couple months. My new boss (elephant) is a bit of a workout nut... this means that we ALL are now workout nuts.
Here's the problem with that:
My body responds pretty well to the gym. I didn't know this until I started hitting the gym heavy. I went from 185 to 195 in about two months. According to the Army, that's overweight. I'm not fat, just overweight. I need to get my body fat percentage measured now, and it came back with something ridiculous like 14%. I need to do more conditioning, I think.

Congrats! ...I think. I would be thrilled to put on another 10 lbs in 2 months. 2 years ago, I was geographically separated from my wife so I became a gym rat and put on 22 lbs in 6 months. (That brought me up to 165 - LOL) Since then, I've been a bit lazy and have focused more on cardio than lifting. On top of that, I haven't been working out as often, or as hard and I'm holding steady at about 160 right now, but my goal back then was to make it to 170 and I still would like to get there, but without losing any of my cardio.

I'm not sure if this should go in the hunting thread or what, but I just shot the leg off a rabbit with a slingshot. It was eating the flowers that I planted YESTERDAY and it pissed me off. I paid a bunch of money for those flowers and spent a lot of time planting them and running drip lines to them from the sprinkler system. I don't own a pellet gun and can't just start shooting guns in my neighborhood... So I grabbed an old $10 slingshot from my survival bag and gave it a try. First shot missed and I don't know by how much. Second shot blew off its front leg. It ran away on three legs and stopped in the middle of my grass. I walked up to it with the intention of killing it, but somehow I missed twice from 4 ft away and I was out of pellets, so I went and grabbed a rock about 3/4inch in diameter and that sure did the trick... it was definitely dead after the rock from point blank. Upon inspection, the little steel pellet tore its front leg completely off about halfway up, so I'm pretty sure a hit to the head or vitals would have killed it pretty quickly.
I'm such a Neandertal.

I was going to post IBTL, but it doesn't look like it's headed that way (surprisingly)
Well, someone mentioned cops in the thread, so I went ahead and put in my "IBTL" in.

Got a couple of smarter than me fellers helping me out. Better times to try and sell by, expect multiple offers right out of the gate at this price, be mostly moved out before the sign goes up, some other pertinent stuff........a community member is helping with the home inspection, and turned me on to a realtor that really sounds like he knows his stuff, really cool guy.
Stuff is in motion, that's for sure. I have several metric tons of shit to do in the near future.
Have it in the contract, 15 days to move out. Some folks want you out before the ink dries at closing.. You have a place lined up, closing gets put off 3-4 days, or the buyer gets cold feet, you just lost the place you wanted.
Expect multiple offers for $5-15K over asking. However some of them are going to want you to, grade the driveway, repaint the closet (MIL hates earth tones) trust me it's happened. You're selling it AS IS, outside of any legit repairs needed, like septic etc.
Having the house sparsely furnished during open house / realtor visits helps. Move any firearms / safe in to the garage, with a cover over it. Better yet, see if you can score a refrigerator box to put over it.
HB,
The visual of you going primal on that rabbit is funny.
I dispatch them with a Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper .22 and no one is the wiser.
On the move out thread, I was gone mid way through senior year. Once I turned 18, as promised by 'rents, I was calling the shots.
Worked as a lad to afford a car and some pocket money. REAL lucky I've never really been unemployed.
I'm not sure if this should go in the hunting thread or what, but I just shot the leg off a rabbit with a slingshot. It was eating the flowers that I planted YESTERDAY and it pissed me off. I paid a bunch of money for those flowers and spent a lot of time planting them and running drip lines to them from the sprinkler system. I don't own a pellet gun and can't just start shooting guns in my neighborhood... So I grabbed an old $10 slingshot from my survival bag and gave it a try. First shot missed and I don't know by how much. Second shot blew off its front leg. It ran away on three legs and stopped in the middle of my grass. I walked up to it with the intention of killing it, but somehow I missed twice from 4 ft away and I was out of pellets, so I went and grabbed a rock about 3/4inch in diameter and that sure did the trick... it was definitely dead after the rock from point blank. Upon inspection, the little steel pellet tore its front leg completely off about halfway up, so I'm pretty sure a hit to the head or vitals would have killed it pretty quickly.
I'm such a Neandertal.
Got a few rabbits near my house that I know I can't do anything to. I'd love to use even a pellet gun to keep them from chewing my yard and my wife's flowers in the front, plus I'd have some good stew. But I have some nosy neighbors that wouldn't hesitate to turn me in.
Woke up this morning to the kid leaving, guess he wasn't really up to facing us yet. He has a shift at Elitch's later so he was toting his work uniform with him. Guessing he'll end up blowing more of what little he makes on a restaurant. Not saving a thing, though he doesn't even have a driver's license yet so no point in a car I suppose. His biggest problem is that at 19 he still thinks food service and retail are jobs that are below him. Yet, I was 12 when I first worked a summer de-tasseling corn back in Michigan, each year from 12-15. Then, I worked at Rotten Ronnie's (MC D's) from 16-18 until I joined the Army. His mom worked Taco Bell in high school until joining the Navy. We both have college degrees and decent jobs, not sure what he's waiting for. [Shake]

I can say that there are a lot of kids/teens/whateveryouwills who are not motivated until they see someone go from where they are to advancing in the world. I knew several people in college who were partying and failing their classes left and right about to be kicked out. Then they attended graduation for someone they knew and bam, became extremely motivated to finish.
Then again, some people just are just complacent with what they have and don't care. I couldn't wait to get out of food service (Starbucks) fast enough when I was in my final year of school (had to quit because was taking 22+ credits each semester).

I don't really know my neighbors and I don't want them calling the police or panicking because they heard a gunshot at 10pm. I plan on staying in this neighborhood for a while and the last thing I want is pissed off neighbors. Also, it's illegal to discharge a firearm within the city limits and/or within x feet from a road, and/or within x feet from a house, etc. I'd like to keep it on the DL.

Get her a slow feed bowl. Bloat is always possible after dogs eat if they run around.
Couple months ago my shithead ate something that blew into the yard and didn't keep any food down for two days.. He got over it but had he puked at 4am again we'd be going to the vet. It was bad.

Thanks for the advice, she is definitely an extremely fast eater but most days we just stand over her and pet her neck. It not only slows her eating down, it also proves dominance when we take her food away (she was a stray for however long and in the beginning, when I'd take her food away she would go nuts, growl like crazy until I got it away from her).

I'm pretty torn about this. I don't really believe in the 'zero defect' mentality. If someone makes a mistake, let's see ho they work themself out of it. Let's see their reaction. Same level as letting a MLB pitcher work his way out of a bad inning. Everyone here is so quick to fire people. Think of the mentoring opportunity that just got lost.

Snow is accumulating on cars here

Just rain here still. I hate rain, it causes mud and I really hate mud. Especially sticky, clingy, falls off my boots at 3" thick and almost makes me trip and fall in it. [Mad][Rant1][Rant2][Bang]

Still feeling sick after an entire week. It's time to visit the Walgreens clinic.

Probably unrelated, but I noticed my Danner Pronghorn hunting boots don't collect snow/mud clumps like some of my hunting partner's do.
I imagine it's partly the (very open) tread pattern and partly the material. Some complain about the "new" Pronghorn, and I think they've been redesigned even again since I got these nearly three years ago, but I sure do love those boots. Comfy from day 1, warm (only 400 grams), sure footed, and tough as nails.

This clay out here sticks to everything like stink on shit. [Bang]
Slimy as it gets. Stuck on flat hard(compacted) level ground in 4WD. If it is worked ground(not compacted) it is bottomless if saturated.

Well, snow is fallin'. We have about 3 inches on the grass and about 1 inch on the driveway. If it drops below about 28* tonight, all that water/slush on the roads will become an icerink!

No fire yet. Just got home and still gotta do a few chores. About 30 mins after I posted that, my BIL, (who is an honest to god idiot btw) called up whining for help getting rescued from being stuck in the aforementioned bottomless cultivated field.
Guy gives the rest of us rednecks a bad name.
Lobbed from my electronic ball and chain.
