    Probably parked with the car in gear and the compression is so low the car rolled back? Or a d-bag to be honest if you decorate a car you are a d-bag.

    The last 2 weeks on the road I have been filling in for field services, getting a little tired of trouble shooting and being hot and dirty. I was talking to the head of our field services and he was not happy about being on the road 4 weeks in a row. I was planning to head out to California to talk to a potential new rep and the guy was not real happy about having to head out to California on Labor Day. Guess who is headed to California on Labor Day? I would never ask an employee to do something I am not willing to do myself.

    This has to be in Michigan, 1.5 year old buck and a pile of corn. Pure Michigan

    If it is legal there is no shame. Predictable age class kill by a corn pile though.

    laughed harder at that than any Germ post in history. Thanks for making my day.
    In the background you can almost see my Uncle Bob hitting me up on the walkie talkie yelling "I just shot a dandy!" and then immediately taking up the blood trail ensuring a nice long tracking job.

    Trust me Michigan Hunters have no shame, in fact the story you'll hear on how a Michigan hunters fooled this elusive animal, and only by shear will got them to come into their setup for a shot over their corn are epic.

    Does it really have an effect on your hunting though? As I get older I have less energy to give a crap how people take a deer.

    Best thing about hunting season. Simple things matter more. I get to forget about 99% of all the bs and just live in the moment. F off to my own rants.

    Not at all does it affect my hunting, just gives me a good laugh when I hear stories.

    People who try to get you to do more work than what you have a contract for. You know the type, y'all broke this and that, you need to paint this or that, ect.. I am so glad we photo document each and every single property we roof before we roof the house. Some people are just knuckleheads.

    I can't stand people who lie and try to manipulate. I have a real difficult time staying neutral, even if it means someone says I was blunt and rude to them as a result of them being a liar.

    Your logic is flawless. What'd be the point?

    Amazon has gone to chit.

    Ordered unscented soap a couple weeks ago. Didn't show, tried to contact Amazon for where's my stuff question.

    Now they make you wait 2 days after scheduled delivery, then contact the seller, wait an additional 2 days, then wait a few more days before contacting Amazon Customer Service.

    Once you jump through all them hoops, you then need to download Amazon app to be able to contact Amazon without speaking to 1-800-No- English. That's racist sue me.

    Download the app to chat with an agent, nope, it's a rovot chatter with tabs to click for questions. Once you enter your data they will contact seller and then get back to you.


    So basically their A to Z guarantee is now.


    A to Z, Z to A, ABC, 123, ABC 123, please call back during normal business hours*


    *amazon has no set business hours

    I know what you mean. Even though I'm retired I am a Master Electrician and sometimes do jobs for people just to help them out ( the side cash is good too). I installed a service in this guy's cabin and it passed inspection. The guy went on to wire the rest of the house. I tried to help him out because his gfci's were tripping when he tried to use them. What a mess. Nothing was code legal. He ran circuits every which way with the wrong wire size then spray foamed everything in place! I told him I can't work here any more because my license is at stake. A month later he was at my bar complaining that the wiring didn't pass inspection and tried to make it look like my fault. I quickly corrected him and affirmed I would never do work for him again.

    I also like the "add-on" people........ hey, could you do this too? Oh, and how about this and that. Then when they get the bill they get stroke face and act shocked like they thought all those extras were free!
