    It's not bad. I was in the street dept and I enjoyed it more because there was more variety in the jobs, I get bored doing the same thing day in and day out but other than that I love my job. I'm up to 3 weeks of vacation a year plus we get a dozen or so paid holidays. I can see where a lot of people would think sewer is nasty but it doesn't bother me a majority of the time. Just make sure you're up to date on your hep b&c vaccines!

    Ya .. most guys in our city want water or sewer jobs because of best pay. We have to work every third weekend on 12 hour days plus are normal 40 and sewer only has to do 5 a day. The only true benefit besides the pay is we can take it in comp up to 240 hours a year.

    Right I'm not in a very big city I'm 7-330 Monday- Friday. Decent pay but above average benefits. I'm one of 4 people on call in the sewer dept so once every 4 weeks I pretty much just sit at home after regular hours and wait for the phone to ring (or not hopefully) lol

    Down to 4 days here in Texas. I'll go out to my two prime locations today and pull cards one more time.

    Both spots have perfect winds predicted on Saturday morning. Jazzed about that!
    The first one is a lock-on tree stand where I shot the buck in my avatar last year.

    The other is a ground blind.

    I've got early season photos of one nice buck at each location back when they were in velvet, but nothing but does recently. We'll see what shows up on the cameras today. Either way, both places have plenty of does showing up regularly. I'm leaning toward the ground blind at this point. My intention is to use the first bow I ever bought along with one of the original broadheads I bought at the same time way back in high school. A 1978 Bear Whitetail Hunter and a Satellite 4-blade. Should be a nice way to commemorate the 40th year since I started bowhunting!

    Good luck to you as well.

    Pulled my cards early afternoon. Lots of does, a couple young bucks, nothing with antlers worth taking. Most likely my first shot will be at a doe ... that's the way I like to do it anyway so all's well.

    Saturday I’ll be in the game. Ill be hunting private property that has potential if any of last years bucks show back up.
    I also hunt public and the past 2 weeks scouting I have had close encounters (10 yards) with multiple doe that had no idea I was there. We will see how it works out.

    Just learned that my son has a cross country meet this Saturday on the same course that they run the State meet on in November.

    Their team is ranked 2nd among Texas 1A schools and my son is the number 2 runner on the team. The deer will wait until Monday morning!

    Nice, no doubt plenty of time for the deer after that. Hope they win!

    New information. The bus isn't leaving for the cross country meet until 9. That gives me an opportunity for a morning hunt! Hitting the hay now for a 4:30 alarm.
