First-light

I can see a lot of pass through!! lol

My last day should of been next Friday the 13th. They are extending it another month for a transition period. My boss is also leaving and the funny thing is the new boss taking over wants to keep me but her hands are tied. Crazy crazy stuff out there. This is good for me because my new venture will not start until June. Pretty much gives me March -May off. Lots of time to Turkey hunt and get two new stands built!

2015 HNY party right there!

My brother in law upstate has gone through all different types of stoves over the years. For the last 10 years its been coal. He loves it, very warm in his house and they both work all day long.

Horrible accident. Said she was stuck on the tracks and at impact the third rail that is full of juice went into the first train car and ignited it. I'm with Biz on where to sit. a lot of my co workers are on that line…...

Ice on the Island. It frozen out there and the roads are pretty bad. Had like 5 inches of slush that froze everywhere. This is on top of the 20 inches from the last storm.

CHEVY.

It was cold yesterday. We also hunt Otis Pike and dint see many deer this year. Bottoms up!!

Great benefits and retirement packages…..why didn't I think of that! lol

I know I know!!! Even better last November!lol

This group is awesome!! Thank you all and yes Plan"B" will keep me close to home and offer more time to be with my girls!!

That was over 2 hrs on the rail road the rest driving and walking.

After 20 years at Time Inc. my number came up yesterday. I'm not shocked and a little relieved that it is over. I have been commuting from the burbs to NYC for over 25 years. My commute round trip is 3.25 hrs. Not a great way to spend your time but the job was worth it. The publishing business is finally at a crossroad. Traditional print and journalism is going down the tubes. Most new hires are contract workers that are very cheap/no benefits and under 30 years old. Management does not care about the quality of journalism they just want volume. We are going through a transition now and management is removing the seasoned veterans and either not replacing them or just spreading out the work. I'm not bitter in fact I have plan "B" in motion and I'll let you know how it goes. I'm battling HR for a few extra comp weeks in my compensation package. Plan "B" should start in June so I will have a about 3 months to do some work to my home and the cabin. No more free magazines for me or my friends:(

God bless ya. Give them hell!!!

Good luck!

That is pretty cool. Man is he an awesome shot!

rats, mice, crows. Opossums and snakes walk a fine line with me.

Honestly I am fascinated with them. I'll let you know after a few years, with one on my property, how fascinated I still am. lol My buddy has two and I'm able to drive right up to them. This is where I judged the noise in all kinds of conditions.

jrm glad it worked out for you. I agree every situation is different, there are some very slimy people/companies in this world.

jrm you couldn't be more wrong. This is out in the open. Look at the first post, there is a Facebook page and an informational page on the companies website. The permuting stage is happening right now, read what I posted about the state gov getting involved. The company funds community projects and benefits. I never signed a confidentiality agreement nor did anyone else. You sign a lease and receive 2 grand a year until the project is built, thats it. Seems like you really have an ax to grind, sorry it didn't turn out well for you.

Hope you have a great day with the family, Happy birthday!

I wasn't nor was any of my neighbors approached by a slick company rep. It was a local person who had all the information about signing up. When I did do my research on the first wind project in Howard it did raise an eyebrow from me seeing some important names on the list for possible wind towers to be built on their property. I can clearly see where you guys are coming from on this issue. Like fracking there are two sides to the issue and if you google the topic so many articles come up for and against. The one thing that is clear these turbines are huge and you can see them. I would be hard pressed to let this happen on my property if my neighbors weren't involved. Being that they all are involved its a go.

Last day meaning??
