I'm glad to see this topic as I've seen immediate impacts in my community that I'd like to share. We employ 150+ minimum wage workers at my facility and it's been my pleasure to identify where we are "losing" with this increase for them: * My work no longer supplies free coffee (avg 210 cups / day consumed) * We negotiated a deal with the vending machine company for free coffee. As soon as minimum wage increased they removed the free coffee. It is now sold in the vending machine. $1.25 / cup. * My company has stopped providing plastic silverware and plates in the break room. I hate eating my yogurt with my finger! * We cut the 2nd shift from 52 to 37 employees. 15 people lost their job. * The place where my son gets his haircut raised their price from $12.50 to $15.00 per haircut. Not sure why, but they didn't wash his hair before cutting it. Might be something new or just an oversight. * The ice cream shop no longer has the "buy 10 - get 1 free card" and they are not continuing any current cardholders. I had 7 stamps dang it! * My barber shop fired the kid that cleaned up the floor while the guys cut hair. * My mechanic shop got rid of the 2 girls that delivered vehicles to / from customers. Owner said the forced increase was the last straw. Someone asked if the increase has trickled up. In my facility, those who make $11 / hr are now very upset the gap has been narrowed as they have more difficult jobs. Managers like me will receive a 15% decrease in bonus this year. The most puzzling part about this increase is the amount of workers that have quit. We have lost over a dozen associates who have been with us for 7 years who have quit because they would "make too much money and not qualify any longer for gov't assistance programs". We have quite a few that cannot work overtime due to the same rationale.

Ummmmm.....the cowboys had a bye in the first round. As a cardinal fan, you wouldn't understand. Lol

Wow

To piggy back off this thread - what do you guys do when the wife is the one breaking the dang phones? 7 replacements in less than 3 years. I'm glad I paid for the insurance, but GEEZ!

hahaha!!!!! ======> the bow stands!Expired Thanks for the laugh😅

Nice work guys. Enjoyed it! 👍

It would help if you guys stated what type of vehicle and mileage you are getting out of your tires. . There's a big difference between a 4k lb rig and one that weighs over 8k. Would be nice for Amanda to post a sticky with this info for future reference. My experience with plenty of off-road travel, but limited pulling: Dodge 1/2 ton Gas - BFG A/T = 40k miles BFG M/T = 30k miles Toyo M/T = 40k miles Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel - Nitto M/T = 22k miles Toyo M/T = 26k miles

If you got 20k with the BFG you'll get 16k with these....

Looks very relaxing. Beautiful country👍

Get this one. I'm happier with it than I was with what has been mentioned above.

This hit home with me as we are expecting as well after 17 years of "trying". Very happy for you. Congratulations

How do you like the traeger grill? Been thinking about buying one...

Well done Lance....in more ways than one!

yeah...I'd say he was hit. Even coues are tough beasts. I was anxious to open this thread and you didn't disappoint. Another tremendous year. Congrats to all!!

Nice job, cool looking bull!

What a dandy buck! Great job

Thanks for the write up. Congrats on the buck

Sweet buck. Congrats on a beauty!

looking to see if any of you have a trailer to rent or could recommend someone to rent one from. I've owned a trailer my entire adult life, but had to sell mine a few months ago when my family had some emergency medical issues. My son and niece have a unit 10 bull elk hunt starting the day after thanksgiving. Looking to rent 11/23---12/02. Thanks, Wade 928-276-6 five 5 four

I'm not understanding the cloth / no cloth. Seems to make quite the difference...?

After some research it appears I would be dropping over $1k so I decided to buy one instead. Thanks for the replies....

With the Kenton turret can you get more than one revolution? If not, how many clicks total?

Dandy buck

Very well done!

Nice job. Good to see a group of next Gen hunters having success. Congrats!
