    I create spice blends, and bottle/sell them.  I designed my own adhesive labels that i print at home.  I buy the bottles, mix, pack, label, seal all myself at home.  I will PM you with more specifics.  I appreciate it.

    do you have a website or any sort of list of what you sell?   always interested in trying new stuff

    Spent the last 12.5 years at a large company (15K+ employees). Presently leading around $75M in P&L, and way more importantly, a group of 27 awesome leaders and more than 200 team members. Some really great people who can move mountains. I'm constantly in awe with what they can accomplish. For the last two years in a row, they've been the #1 performing business unit in the company.

    Alot of red tape to navigate in large companies like this though. That part is hard to enjoy but I am good at it, so it's a blessing and a curse. Lately, it's personally felt more like a curse.

    I'm sure others have more pressing career matters but I'm fighting that internal battle of staying the course vs. aligning with what is becoming more important to me as I age up. I enjoy the people I work with and the present income and income trajectory is more than I reasonably expected to make in my life. So strong that I struggle altering what is a much more secure future for my family against doing almost anything else that likely will not provide that degree of income/security. Thankfully I like the people because it's kept me on the tracks so far.

    As time goes on, I'd like to have more impact with a smaller company and help accelerate growth and careers for people. One of the business units I lead now does $50M per year and I was lucky enough to be one of the original founding leaders - a start-up in a mature/legacy company. Went from 0 to 100+ employees and families that are supported in less than a year. That business has matured - still innovating, but I really enjoyed the hard work and fun involved in it getting boosted off the launch pad.

     

    I worked in Finance and Accounting for one of the larger companies in the Rochester area for 20+ years..   I am now the CFO for a smaller public, high tech manufacturing company.   Being one of the leaders in a smaller company has really been a breath of fresh air.  Never more than 2 or 3 people to set strategy, make a decision or approve something.   we are growing at a  fast pace, which is very difficult, but in a smaller sized company, it forces you to be more involved in what is really happening day to day.  Wish I made the move 5 or 10 years earlier.

    Can we stop with the photos that should not be on this site. It would suck not being able to hop onsite from work computer anymore because someone can’t follow site content rules.

    I agree 100%...   I think people need to think in terms of younger people and woman using this site. 

    Hoping the moderator can address this!!

  4. Sorry for your loss, it is so hard.

    We had a lab that got Lepto at 6 years old..   the speculation was the same, in that she drank out of a puddle that was contaminated with urine from a raccoon or opossum.  She made it thru that, but was never quite the same, as she had liver issues the rest of her life.

    You never know, so have to appreciate every day we get with them!!

    One pack which is 12 wings ish. Pat dry with paper towels.  Toss in bowl with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and pinch of salt , pinch of black pepper. 370 degrees for 12 minutes ( single layer in basket ) use tongs to flip and reposition into single layer  for another 12 minutes at 370. Ramp up to 400 for 5 minutes to finish and put the extra crisp on them. Remove wings and toss in bowl of desired sauce.  Air fryer also great for reheating leftover wings for say few minutes at 370. Dill pickle wings and yelling goat signature Burberry wings on next time around 

    Thank you!!   going to give it a try....

    Really interested to hear how you made the wings....   how long in air fryer?   what temp and setting?     how many at a time?   Did you just do like one layer or did you put them on top of one another...   Thanks in advance!

  7. Slice some zucchini fairly thin, egg bath and then Italian breadcrumb...   10 to 12 minutes in air fryer (depending on thickness)...    Dip in your favorite dressing (I like 1000 Island or Poppy Seed)....   really good football game snack..

  8. Depending on what your need for electric is, I would suggest that you talk with the power company.

    before I built my place, I had a travel trailer on site and the power company would not "set a meter" until there was something permanent on the property (or under construction).   they obviously don't want to incur the expense knowing the trailer could be pulled out of there tomorrow and their revenue stream is gone.

  9. So the original founder of Muck Boots now has a company called DryShod..   Check them out...   prices are less than Muck boats and the quality looks to be similar to the original muck boots.   I bought a pair for my wife and she really likes them..   I have friends that have bought them as well and think they are better than the muck boots they replaced.

  10. we have said it many times on this forum..  Most state land only gets hunted  within a few hundred yards of the nearest road...   with the lack these days of large organized drives,  there are only a small percentage of people that are venturing in to where the "big boys" hang out.

    I like taking videos/pics. I shot my last doe in 2001, unless a piebald walks by.

    I think you would be amazed at how much better your hunting will get and the behavior of the bucks in your area if you start taking some doe and getting things in balance...    Any property where does are not being managed will be significantly out of balance despite what cameras tell you.

    I decided not to shoot at a deer at 52yds.  I am not telling anyone else how to hunt.  Each should make their own decision.  I just don't like the chance of wounding and hard tracking jobs without a deer at the end.  Had that happen a couple of times and try to learn from that.  But my post was not intended to tell others what they should or shouldn't do.  Carry on brethren.

    Being someone that has been lucky enough to take 20+ deer with the bow, I agree 100%..   At some point you have to throw science out the window because when "buck fever" and environmental elements come into play (including the deer's instincts and reactions) a lot can go wrong.

    Unfortunately, people rely to much on the "science" of things and have to learn the hard way.

    The reality is that a lot of people feel like that have to take marginal or long shots because they have not put in the preparation to know that if they are patient their strategy will pay off.   Of the 20+ deer I have taken with the bow, 22 yards has been the furthest I have had to shoot.

    When the 10 point is standing broadside at 15 yards, you will be rewarded.

    This was the 7.   It’s not that I can’t  shoot well to 50.  It’s more that a deer can move quite a bit before an arrow arrives.  And I don’t like taking the risk

    Great decision making!!!  There is more that can go wrong than right in my opinion at 50 yards or more..    Wounding a deer and not recovering it is torcher...

  14. I thin it depends on the property..    If you can hunt the edges and don't have to walk too far and get all sweated up it is one thing..   If you have to walk a quarter mile thru your property leaving a sweaty scent trail, you can really screw yourself...   Hard not to sweat when it is over 70 degrees  Just my opinion..
