I promised my boat mechanic friend that I'd cut a direct trail for him to the tree stand in the property known as "the middle stand". 

Now he's old, and can't navigate rough terrain, so he's relegated to sitting at "the field stand" which is my favorite stand. It's a 300 feet walk across the grass field from where we park. Neck you can drive the car or the ATV right up to the thing...

But the middle stand, it's like a major highway for the deer. 

Anyway, the field stand has these long range shots that my friend can't make. Heck he can't even see that far lol. 

I been telling him that I'd cut a clear trail to the middle stand for years. But man I ain'ts gots no time...

Trophie don't forget, he's applying for JRs old job, because JR took my spot. 

Now if you remember, JR is the third guy down. That's the equivalent of a CFO? 

Man didn't I tell ya I need someone with a ###### MBA? 

 

 

Oh, I suppose that is a little different, then. *shrugs* My credit score is good. ;) 

 

 

I'm actually a little sad about this job thing because I've been cooking and baking up a storm now that I'm not working. Tonight we had cauliflower and egg waffles.

When you move up, get used to it. All these management and executive jobs will vet you. 3 things...court filings, criminal history, and money problems. 

 

Bake me something!

I had them done before when I used to work retail, because I did the cash office and bank filings/drops/pickups. 

 

In in order to work in my profession, we get the same background check as teachers.  I don’t have so much as a ticket, so that’s always easy. 

 

I made bran muffins with blueberries this afternoon.
