Cool looking dog. Hi Finn!

40’s yesterday, 29 today with 35 mph wind gusts that put the windchill in the mid teens. That wind was absolutely brutal and chewed right through me. ?

I agree 100%. I’m not holding my breath I’ll see a bonus or anything extra in my check because, the company I work for has around 10,000 employees. We do get a $200 work boot voucher every year for the field employees and as you know if you’re paying good money for boots there going to last longer than a year. So next year I’ll place an order for a nice pair of hunting boots.

Deer drives were always fun. We’d do them in Nebraska on our last day or second to last day if someone hadn’t harvested a buck yet. The ranch we hunted had a ton of dry creek beds and some corn. It was usually effective. The last one I’ve done was about 6-7 years ago on the property I hunt now, which resulted in my friend getting his first buck on his property. He was pretty geeked that day.

I bought nothing. It was pretty hard to justify to myself buying anything fishing related since I didn’t launch the boat once this year. Take that Baitmonkey!

I left this company almost 8 years ago because they worked up to the bone 6 days a week from March to December. The turnover was unbelievable! I went to the competition and was extremely happy! Fast forward to January this year and the company I left bought out the company I left for. To say I was sick to my stomach would be an understatement! They’ve really turned things around. They do things like I previously explained, they do weekend off rotations, and are highly focused on a work life balance. The turnover has slowed, the lean and mean mentality is no longer. They’ve been pretty good to me and the technicians, so I have no complaints.

To be honest, that one doesn’t look bad.

I’m sure every list is different depending on the site. I was pretty far off on the Tundra. This list is quite surprising. Like you were saying Honda ranks up there. I found a list for specifically trucks, the Colorado was 1, the Ridgeline was top 5, Tundra was 6. Here’s the list I was referring to for overall vehicles. https://www.cars.com/articles/2022-cars-com-american-made-index-which-cars-are-the-most-american-451057/

That’s cool you do that. Our company does that 2-3 times a year. Once a year they do a tech appreciation week, where there’s all kinds of giveaways (Blackstone grills, TV’s, gift cards, ect) and a day where each team does a cookout, bowling, whatever the supervisor decides to do. Small gestures like that goes a long ways with most.

I don’t know about the Prius, but the Tundra is more made in America than the big three.

Just saw an interesting fact. A week ago today 87% of the state of Michigan was covered with at least 3” of snow. Today only 11% of the state is. The western UP and the only other spot in the entire state…..wait for it….smack dab over Casa de la @A-Jay ! ?

I have two Echomap Plus units. The maps on the lakes I fish are surprisingly pretty good. The reason I say surprisingly is because they are tiny lakes. We’re talking less than 150 acres. The bigger lakes around here appear to have good maps as well. I lived on a private lake for a couple years and mapped that one, and QuickDraw was super simple to use. Turn it on and go fish and forget it.

It’s looking like Alabama is going to be ranked above Tennessee (I don’t believe it’s official yet) how does this happen considering Tennessee beat Alabama?

This is true.

Welcome aboard!

I keep forgetting about the NIL. I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

Teaching him it’s called fishing and not catching! That’s what it’s all about.

I agree 100%. BUT, if Michigan can continue down the path they’ve been on the last two seasons, I’m hoping they can start recruiting players that would help Michigan compete with the top SEC teams. I also agree the Big 10 West is a joke.

Holy smokes, what a game! Everything I worried about was a non issue today. Go Blue!

Get it before you leave Michigan. You won’t regret it!

Have you eaten walleye?
