What did you do at work today?

[TheBac]

Im just glad a deer hit is typically not an avoidable accident....Yay.

.....and boy, was my mechanic not happy. Brand new truck with two fractures in the fiberglass hood, a broken grill, broken PS cooler (which I bypassed with a heater hose connector) and both headlight buckets off kilter. Oh well, what can ya do?

On the plus side, it's one of the few ways to get one without drawing tags

Finishing up rigging a fire boat for US Army, been a long haul on this one. Ready to fire everything up and start programming startup boot proceedures and test install..

He did initially. One of my route friends is a state trooper, and he stopped out to help. The buck had broken legs or back, so my friend killed it with his sidearm. Hopefully I can get the antlers from whoever took the carcass.

The last deer I hit I field dressed and tied it down to the roof of my Blazer. Then I had to go to the police station about a previous ticket I had. Was interesting pulling up to the police station with blood running off the sides of my truck and a dead deer up there.

I Imagine UPS corporate would’ve frowned upon you doing such a thing though...

Well, Im not a hunter, so asking me to field dress a deer would be an exercise in absolute failure. I dont carry a hacksaw or large knife, either.

Word got around my route and also at work, so Im now "TomBacon - Deerslayer" at both places. Yay, team. Ugh.

I vote embrace it, put the antlers on the grill of the truck for the rest of the winter

Amen! Its kinda funny when all three trucks pull up to a house one-after-another, which has happened a couple times already....
But sometimes I think FX is kicking our butts. My best friend is a FX mgr, and they've been on 7 days since March and busier than hell. Oh well.....
24 hrs OT last week, probably about the same this week.
Amazon -- good lord, those drivers are the worst, and totally unprofessional in everything they do!
Im one of Santa's Elves this time of year. The smiles and happiness are the best part, especially this year.

Amazon driver = millennial. I just want a check. I think they are all contract employees not real amazon employees.

Most of the ones out here appear so lost its quite funny. I think we get the leftover drivers not a route driver.

And Tom, I think the new generation of delivery personnel are all loosing what the outgoing delivery personnel were taught, embraced, and carried on. GF's son is a driver and he talks about how some guys just throw packages. Even the loaders in the centers don't seem to care if your stuff is destroyed.

 

[TheBac]

Thats what happens when they're trained by mgrs who never drove.....(I really miss the "rolleyes" smiley)

Its up to the remaining veteran drivers to teach the newbies what's what. I do it all the time.

Growing a Brown approved beard now??

My son (8 years old) got him a 9 pt yesterday after I got off work, biggest deer he's ever had in front of him and he folded him like an accordion with a high lung shot

 

[ironmax]

CONGATS, how far away was the shot?

60 yards

 

[jlawles2]

Nice buck.

I saw 4 last week but only one was possibly a shooter thanks to the conservation rules. Ended up reducing the Hog population by 1 Monday evening. 175 yd shot with 300 win mag, I'm sighted for 300 so it was a hold down of 1' to hit him in the neck and out the other side of the head. 165 grain Federal Fusion ave the poor thing a pretty bad headache.

Had a shitty day today, so I was Scrooge McDuck. Hopefully feel like being an elf again tomorrow.
