    Before "back the blue" there was [insert your state here] police association badges that you could stick on your plate or back window.
    Some people really care, others use it as cover. I would think the above average cop could figure it out. And even the average cop don't give a crap about how your Uncle's son in law is a cop 3 towns over if you're driving and acting like an a-hole.

    I see Thin Blue Line on someone's car and they aren't either a cop themselves or married to one...I think well, virtue signaling 101.

    Uhhh... this morning I was reminded how much I hate hub ground blinds.... The damn things are advertised as supposed to keep you sheltered from the weather but unless somebody has a secret technique for shooting something you can’t see then you gotta open the windows and it’s just as cold and windy as it would be sitting out in the open. And I can’t figure out for the life of me why the folks at ameristep decided that the only part of the whole damn blind that should actually be waterproof is those little useless pockets they sew onto each of the sides. Plus since they were kind enough to place one right underneath each of the leaky ass windows, that quart of water that permanently resides in each pocket can get topped off every time it rains which means they are always ready to fill your boot up with water if you accidentally bump one with your leg.

    I was doing a really good job not getting in a pissy mood after hiking out of the woods and driving 45 minutes home with a boot full of water.... but then you a-holes had to go and bring up that greasy turdlicker.

    I dont know about others but I had a girlfriend whose dad was a police chief, she had a little tag on her license plate indicating she was LEO family. He told me that it meant if she got caught messing up the officer was to throw the book at her twice as hard and not get off the hook bc she knows better.

    No kidding... I’ve seen many fabric ground blinds where you still get you wet if it’s raining, but the ameristep is the first one I’ve ever come across that can get you wet when it’s not raining.

    Hahaha!!! You’re trying to get Allstate to pay a claim???

    Once you’re done with that you should try asking a 230” buck to come stand broadside in front of your stand and then gut and skin himself after you’re done shooting him.

    Bob, Im right there with you. I am 3 hours out from starting my work day and Ive learned from experience to open my emails in order to head things off. Well I opened the 590 emails and several were just so stupid that I am readying for battle tonight. I should have never even looked. Dang it.....illogical morons asking for a diamond out of coal.

    This idiot, rush hour traffic and has his hazards on doing 35 in a 55 staying in the left lane.

    Was a cluster of about 15 vehicles behind me, every one had to pass him in the right lane.

    That's when you say OK and here's how you can determine the hourly rate you want:
    Take the fix price then determine how much per hour you want to make. Then divide that number into the fixed rate. Now here's the tricky part, you get the job finished in the number of hours you came up with to get your hourly rate. ..Go big
