I know yall are dieing for the latest update.

I'm thinking about leasing a 7,800²ft shop. It had some sort of custom wood/laminate flooring/stairs manufacturer that moved to a larger facility. So it's setup with power . air lines . Some ducting for dust collection. Loading docks And offices
It's right in the main business district across from the Walmarts and the biggest cobble fuck of a shopping center in this part of the state.
Seems like a reasonable solution to our current dilemma.

So I didn't lease a the shop. I felt like the economy in this town is too depressed to take a chance but I did get a job at the place I originally applied at. Not as the project manager but as a lead carpenter. Its basically the same pay. So the pukes working under me best respect my authoritie. :P
I start Monday. I could use some prayers if anyone is so inclined.its been a ruff year

Congratulations, and it sounds like things worked out for the better. You can always change your mind. And I'll put in a word with the Good Lord on your behalf. Happy holidays to you and yours.

Sure he does and thanks. Sometimes I doubt then something miraculous happens. Almost all my woe is self inflicted. I can't understand why I've been so blessed.

I was 30 mins late my first day. My truck battery was dead this morning. I had to wake the folks that own the cabin I'm renting during the week at 615 this morning to give me a jump.
Yall should've prayed harder :P

Everyone seems real cool here. My boss or "creative team manager" is real laid back. The owner seems like a good guy and I'm super glad they didn't hire me as a project manager. I ain't cut out for no fancy office phone talkin bs.
Thanks to everybody for putting up with me. My anxiety has been out of control and I've been working on not drinking and smoking. I don't think I can ever quit smoking I've been doing since I was nine but I've cut back a lot.Sorry if I've been a nuisance.

I was just ribbing you. My truck battery was from 2017. It's usually parked in a warm garage. It got down to 26 and it gave up. I appreciate the prayers or good wishes apparently I require a bunch of it.

It's been my lucky week won a new hunting rifle at the company Christmas party. We had supper at a super nice restaurant full menu appetizers, drinks, desserts I had a fat ribeye the wife had lobster. I cut myself of at three beers then the owner came and sat ot our table and kept the drinks coming. Way more than i expected. I think i can get along pretty well here.

I only got one eye left. So hopefully not. :D
My wife thinks they had me win it on purpose but I dont know.
Its not a rifle i would've bought. For myself but it's pretty cool. It's a .350 legend bolt action. It's a straight wall cartridge so it can be used during muzzleloader season in arkansas. Also 350 legend can be used in the ar15 platform with just a barrel swap. It's ballisticly comparable to the 30/30. So great for whitetail up to 200yds.
I've got a 1-6 vortex scope laying around that should be perfect. Just need to get some mounts.
I'll probably give it to one of the grandkids once they're old enough to hunt.
