I gave up on deer hunting 8 seasons ago I would go out opening weekend or thanksgiving to push with my best friend like we did growing up but that would be about it. I deer hunted more this season than I have the last 8 years combined. Saw deer almost every sit but all out of range and when they were within range it wasn’t shooting hours yet. We did a push 2 weeks ago I got a button buck after it was shot at several times by the other guys I couldn’t let it go past me and not attempt the shot. I ended up hitting it on a wide open run doing Mach 3 across the field with my 45-70. I really wanted to get one with the pistol this year but never had the chance. This is the first weekend I haven’t gone for deer and season ends tomorrow and I have zero plans on chasing deer. Switching gears to ducks and coyotes which is basically all I’ve hunted since giving up deer. Way less boring than sitting in a tree for hours harassed by squirrels.

I hunt all winter then soon as ice is gone or icy temps I get back on the water fishing. Heck today it was in the 60s in upstate NY and my hunting buddy with no ducks flying made the comment we shoulda went fishing. Do a little cast and a blast if we have a warm day like today. Fish and have the shotguns with us on the boat.

I have yet to get it everyone in the house has had it I’ve showed symptoms same time gone for tests and done the home test never have came back positive. Guy at work had it last week he just wore a mask when was in the vault with people but kept on working. I guess fiancés aunt and cousins had it when we were there for thanksgiving but none of us are sick following being around them. Kids had a stomach bug but that was it.

I’m the same all the previous comments might has well been Chinese made zero sense. I go when the kids want to and if it was scored like golf I’d be good probably lol. I’ve bowled single digit numbers many a time lol

I don’t deer hunt as much as I used to. When I used to a lot we were limited to shotgun only in my area. Recent years rifles were opened up in my area and I hunted more this season than I have the last 8. I carry my marlin 1895GBL in 45-70 and my sig 320 full size in 45acp. I got one last weekend with the 45-70 none were close enough to try the pistol. The one last weekend I thought would it was running right at me then cut and started running quartering towards the trail so I whacked it with the 45-70. Was on one of the few drives we put on towards end of season.

I got one punching mats with a Tokyo rig and put boss a few years ago. Went 17.79 though I had a record bass for a minute. In the kayak also it was a blast have pics but won’t let me upload them.

I get that at least once a week people commenting they always wondered how money got in the atm. Then they ask why I take it out just to put it back in. We usually unless it’s a “cash add” take out X amount and put in a set amount. Usually more around the 1st of the month. It prints a receipt that says so much was taken out this was how much it charged in surcharges and this is how much is left. When you bring back better match what it says it should. A few have been busted since I’ve been working there skimming a little off when servicing them.

I’ll let ya know what ones I just did so you can go get your fresh bills lol. They mostly have me in the gates chili area but Wednesday and Thursday I’m down town Rochester upper falls, genesee rd, Hudson, Lyell and lake ave area

The last two weeks only thing I’ve been putting is brand new uncirculated money if that tells ya anything also…

I’ve heard conspiracies that all atms will be gone by 2037 for the whole cashless thing. Bank of America prefers you use the atm for everything deposits withdrawals everything. Their atms hold the most at least of the ones I do several times a week. Depending on day and when in the month I’ll swap out between $200k-$375k in cash and usually anywhere from 20k-150k in cash deposits take out and double or triple in some cases in checks. It’s fascinating for me anyways servicing atms and safes in gas stations depending on where they are located. My atms in the “hood/ghetto” corner bodegas easily go through 40-60k in 2 days around the first the month. The safe points behind the counter in nicer parts will maybe have 1/3 of the cassettes filled but in the other parts the city where atms get used a lot they fill the cassettes in the safes several times a week. Then there’s the people who ask if the gun on my hip is real while I’m holding a brick of 20s($20k) going into the atm. I laugh and say yes.

I didn’t know what to make the title but that basically sums it up haha. So for work I work for Loomis as a “money man” as everyone seems to call me at job sites. I deliver and pick up money from banks and stores as well as service ATMs doing replenishments and deposit pulls at certain ones. The way people act at ATMs while I’m servicing them never ceases to amaze me. When doing drive up ATMs we have to take the cassettes out and bring them to the truck or we are inside a kiosk that holds the ATM. Every week I get people who drive either around my truck jumping the curb or back in from the exit and try accessing the ATM and they get all ticked off that it’s down because I’m working on it. The other week had a guy all irate and angry he stormed into the branch and was chewing them out because I was blocking the atm. Then theirs the people who come into the bank when I’m doing the ATM in the branch and I hear and see them over the surveillance cameras while I’m in the room behind the ATM doing my thing trying to use it when the screen is either black or says “out of order” then I can watch them walk in and talk to the girl in front pointing to the ATM and complain. Then this week I had to do what’s called a deinstall on ATMs in several Walgreens on the first of the month which was awesome planning on their part. During deinstalls we take all the money out and lock the safes open so they can work on it or replace it. I went back today to put them back in service and had to store clerks and managers tell me people were still trying to use it when I left the safe open and power turned off they then got mad at the store for it being down. It’s just crazy how oblivious people are today when it comes to things especially when it comes to getting their money. People who drive over the curb and around my truck to get to the ATM are probably the most entertaining though I’ve had a few blow tires out or smash their mirrors trying to get between the truck and either the building or pillars holding the roof over the ATMs never hit the truck shockingly though. Then of course there’s all the people who ask if I’m handing out free samples if I’m doing the ATM in a store. I know some of y’all have probably seen us in your area servicing banks, stores and atms. Hopefully not being like the people I described other than asking for samples that’s just humorous.

I’ve been pulled over while traveling to new spots coyote hunting and always end up talking guns with the cop. Usually get pulled over or greeted at the truck when I get back from the field while coyote hunting. Hearing shots in the middle of the night or seeing a light out in a field draws attention. They are usually in awe over my thermal set ups and want to look through them. Oddly though being in NY they never check or care about my AR if it’s “compliant” my hunting ones are because of the chances of being stopped don’t wanna risk it. The only thing I’ve been asked about the legality of my gun is the caliber. The county I was in you must use a rifle smaller than .22 during deer season so need a .17 or .20cal I’ve got both in AR platforms just for that reason while coyote hunting .17-223 and a 20practical.

Peregrine Falcon or osprey

My alien gear holster does that to my 320 but it’s a duty gun and it just wipes off with a little bit of pressure and a remwipe rag. I’ve got a vedder for my 365 but I like the hidden hybrid better.

Wow hopefully they take care of ya.

They sell little heater rods you plug in and have them in the safe usually there’s a spot in the safe to run the wire. I’ve got them one in my safes in the man cave I don’t go into often like my pistol safe I go into every day. I keep the moisture packs in my ammo cans though

Everyone in my family is diabetic but me makes me wonder sometimes haha. Both sides of my family are cursed with health issues I suppose. Moms side everyone has or has had cancer. My dad’s side diabetes and heart problems. The men don’t make it much into their 60s on dads side both him and my grandfather passed at 62. I like to say I watch what I eat but I don’t. I mean I don’t do fast food and all my monsters I drink are sugar free but that’s about as far as I take it. So far knock on wood not diabetic or have cancer that I know of anyways.

I get “spam” texts and emails from we the people every day

I’ve got one for my sig 320 full size in winter months when I can conceal a full size no problem. I like it but it’s also the only IWB holster I have for the 320 so nothing to compare to I normally open carry it. Their belt though is awesome I wear that everyday

My fiancé is late for EVERYTHING. It drives me nuts even the kids know “mommy is always late” when ever it’s her that has to pick them up or take them somewhere. My 5th grade teacher used to always say “if your early your on time, if your on time your late, and if your late that’s unacceptable” when he was going over being on safety patrol. I’ve always lived by those words and then add being in the army I'm very punctual. My last job actually complained that I was always early the owner didn’t like it the manager didn’t care and told him it could be worse I could not show up or always be late like other employees they had. At my current job I can’t even access the building till 5 min before shift so I just sit in parking lot and listen to music till I can go in usually about 10-15 minutes. I can’t stand being late I get extremely irritated and ticked when we go somewhere as a family and not being on time. There’s been times I have left without them or with my daughter and just waited for her to come separately.

Where do I start with my dad. I would do anything to have him back or go back in time to see him again. I have a lot of memories and regrets I suppose could say when it comes to my dad. Growing up I spent every other weekend with him we would either fish, build model cars or planes, rockets and in summer go to air shows. He always said that he was soaking it all up because he knew once I turned 16 and could drive I wouldn’t come around anymore. I’m sure I denied it but he was 100% correct. Once I got my license I went from seeing him every other weekend to once or twice every few months and on holidays. He spent the last 20 years though battling heart disease/failure on top of diabetes that cost him both his legs first one 15 years ago I think it was second one in 2020 when the whole thing was kicking off. Had his first heart attack in his late 30s early 40s I believe which took him out of work for the rest of his life as a trucker. He passed last July from heart failure after spending 12 weeks in various hospitals at age 62. My dad never raised his voice or yelled at me but I was always good when I was with him. Worse he ever did was tell me he was disappointed in me once when I did something and that hit me harder than anything. I definitely got my love of fishing from him though, stories of him taking me fishing in the creek behind the house when I was still in a stroller and putting a snoopy pole in the stroller with me. Have a bunch of Polaroids of him and his buddy from the airforce holding up trout they got. He was more into trout and pike though.

I love me some wings I used to be able to put down a good number of em. Favorite are probably DUFFS in Buffalo then probably Anchor Bar. There was a place by me growing up a town over that was awesome they breaded them with cornflakes and grape jelly I guess. Mr Ed’s it was called then it switched to Poneys when the owners changed. When I was in college Hooters was doing an all you can eat wings during March madness I did 66 in one siting. Quaker steak and lube used to do all you can eat also but wasn’t a competition like the hooters thing was so never really pushed myself or kept track of how many.

This is something I thought about after my accident 5 years ago. Never new it was a actual theory just something I thought of on my own looking back at my accident and constantly hearing people say I’m lucky to be alive and must be blessed/some one looking out for me. Always thought what if I really DID die and my friends and family are going on without me and this is just a dream or different life kinda like the Jet Li movie “The One” but not that bad a** lol. Anyone else ever think about quantum immortality? I’ve read a few different theories about it I don’t get the whole suicide version of it. Definitely makes ya wonder sometimes at least me since I’ve had a few close calls I guess getting hit by a truck 5 years ago being the latest.

I treat mange every fall with doses of 25gr, 35gr or 62gr HPs………. Hate getting mangy ones but doing them a favor before winter hits em

We have an old cat that pukes or craps in the dinning room every so often. He’s like the dog though and will go to the door and ring the bell to go outside. He won’t use the liter box but goes outside. Luckily our one dog eats what ever blaze (the old cat) deposits on our hard wood floors. I’m looking forward the day the cat passes. As dark as it sounds I can’t wait I’ve offered to put it and another cat down several times to the fiancé a heck of a lot cheaper than a vet will be. We’ve got a zoo at our house not counting the kids…5 cats, 2 dogs, 3 sugar gliders, bearded dragon, salcata tortoise, and a fish tank with hundreds of guppy’s in it if I had to guess plus a dozen various other fish. We had 2 bunnies and 2 Guinea pigs but those died. Cats are the worst in my opinion though I liked mine but mine died last summer had a bengal that my ex wife got me he was 13.
