Asking For A Raise Update
Yeah I defenitly don't mind knowing I got enough work to carry me a year at least at this point. I got a phone call last night at 830 that we just sold 4 ladders to a customer in Australia and I had to rush the production on them first thing this morning. Only burden part is not spending time at home lately I worked 66 hours last week right threw the holiday and all weekend. I had to walk away today I was already 12hrs in and had a few parts to lay up still but I'm a day ahead and was tired so I called it quits for the day and will finish at 6am tomorrow.

Asking For A Raise Update
Well I had one of the newer office staff/salesmen come back yesterday and tell me that he had a long talk with the owner about the triad(product line I'm working on) guys. He got me a $1 raise on the first of the year. I've been putting in some crazy hours and they are taking notice me and my new trainee busting our arses cranking out quality products. Were doing the three days worth of work in a day well an extended day between 10-12 hr days for a previous 24hrs worth of work done in 10-12. Best part is we have had zero rejects for about 3 weeks at that rate. They also just bought me a new gelcoater for the hefty price of $12,000. So my hard work has paid off but also come to bite me in the back side being dependable and making a good product because I am absolutely swamped with work almost to much I need another helper to boss around lol.

Do You Have The Career You Wanted As A Kid/teenager?
Sorta, always wanted to be in the military specifically a fighter pilot(grew up watching top gun...) or some sort of special forces. I'm neither of them but still in the military as an infantryman till atleast February 2015 then I'm either getting out after 7 years or going over to the aviation side fixing choppers.

Gigging Frogs
So I had frog legs for the first time yesterday at thanksgiving dinner at the new gfs dad's house. We had turkey, duck and frog legs all which were taken on the property. Now I'm hooked on frog legs and want more. Who hunts for frogs how do you go about doing it. Catch em, shoot em, spear em??? Need warm weather and to go frogging.

All the semis are taking 104 since the 90 is closed takes me 15 min longer to get to work just due to the convoy of semis still trying to move their shipment.

2014-15 Season Kills/pics
Had to put my tracking skills to work tonight for a good buddy who's wife shot her first buck ever. I was texting him at 429pm about a stand and heard a shot from their direction across the road in a differnt block of woods. 12 minutes later got a text saying it was wifey that she got the big 8 and he dropped but got up and ran. So I was having a coughing fit in my stand and offered to help since hacking up a lung isn't the best sound for deer to come to. Drove over to the other block met up with them and got the run down that it was a head on shot in this spot ran south. No blood no hair nothing just some kicked up leaves. Started following the path I thought he would take and sure enough 60yards later I see the reflection if a eye and nothing but rack. Was happy to end my hunt early to help track a trophy let alone a first buck. The omg I hate but love you look upon first walking up on him Not the big 8 he's a 10 with a broken g3 so woulda been at least a 11 if the g3 was there

2014-15 Season Kills/pics
Openin day of gun season was yesterday I sat in the AM lots of shooting close to me on the other side of the creek but I never saw any. Then we did some drives in the late morning early afternoon I kicked up 6 coulda shot the first two but they were headed for our sitters who haven't gotten a deer yet during bow so I let them go. No one shot at any we pushed out either no shots and the ones that did were button bucks.

Aging And Processing Deer??
You get better with the more deer you do just as with anything else. I don't soak mine in water some people do I prefer not to. I let my deer hang a day or two or 3 depending on the temp. Tenderloins come out first like when I'm gutting the deer. It's a small piece of meat so leaving it in it gets all dry and you end up throwing most of it away. The white is ok to leave some but the silver shiny stuff try your best to get that all off that's what gives it the "gamy" taste. I use three knifes when I process a deer start to finish, my small buck knife for field dressing, a little bit bigger buck knife for quartering, and fillet knife for doing all my cuts of meat and triming. All are razor sharp. Outdoor edge makes a butcher kit that comes with a video and instructions of I'm not mistaken might be worth looking into.
