Damn Bowtie....my wife’s not a hooker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Had me busting a guy. I wasn’t even thinking of it but you knew you better cover all angles with this group.
Bronco, I don’t know what it’s like to be an RN where you are but up here, you make some good money. Union give you all the breaks a guy could possibly need to get some R&R. The longer you are in the game, the more doors open. I tell all my single buddies, male or female, to go get themselves an RN.
When I was surveying, I was the big honcho in the field. I was working 300+ hours a month and in the most stressful situations. I gained weight, constant headaches and started having heart palpitations at age 30. I dropped that like it was hot and went free lancing. Same amount of money, less work hours and darn near stress free for a guy with my experience. My motto is life’s too short to work yourself into an early grave and that’s where I was heading.
My situation is out of the norm. My wife and I decided early on that we didn’t want kids. I was supposed to retire from travelling to the oilfield when she graduated law school. That was the plan but she hated law school and dropped out. That pushed me into another 5yrs of oilfield before I can go get the normal 8-5 job to cover the bills until I turn 65. She’s relying on her parents money but I’m not playing that game. I’ll make enough now to cover the retirement plan in case she ever smartens up and leaves my ****.
What I can’t stand are when people ask us if we have kids. The look of horror on their face when we say we don’t want any. I’m happy, she’s happy, stress free and on easy street. Yes, it’s a selfish way to go but......... F it, I’m in it to win it. 😂
Before I go.......... Scags getting outsmarted by coyotes. I have a gif for that but it won’t load. 😂

😂 Matter of fact next week, I'm in for 2 tent visits.
By the way, ya'll do know the whole mustard thing got started with Sling Blade right?
When I asked HRTKD if he liked mustard biscuits after his blade sharpening comment.
It went "south" from there
Edit.....Range is open, and you can drink cold beer also

I need some range time. Need to flush out some old ammo & replace it with some fresh stuff. Do you reload? Rifle or shotgun?

I love Sling Blade, one of my favorite movies. I know about the mustard & biscuits. I just didn't know about the alternate meaning until our Canadian friend directed us unsuspecting, innocent folks to the urban dictionary. Hell, I quit eating mustard on hot dogs.

Keep all the brass obviously but no reloading plans as of yet

Wifey just woke up from 2 hour pre-bedtime nap. "OMG, it's after midnight. What in the hell are you doing on the computer" "FTE, Baby." "You're sick. You need to go to bed!" Sometimes she's a little grouchy between the pre-bedtime nap and actual bedtime. Hell, made me feel like the guy from the Jake, from State Farm commercial. "Who are you talking to at 2:15 in the morning?"

Have your azz beat at the alter in the church. I was like 7-8 years old 2nd grade......I learned the word MF'R in the school yard at recess.
The kid who told me said its a secret. So next Sunday I said Granddaddy come here I have a secret. I whispered in his ear MF'R.
DUDE'S my grandfather and my dad both beat my azz at the alter in front of the whole congregation. I mean pants down beat down.
I don't think I said that again until I was like 30
