Age 73 for me, and a brand new 2023 Tacoma.
The truck will outlive me... I still have my 1991 Truck and it is still going strong.

 

Don’t ask her where anything is she will be mean to you!

 

Good morning all.

For those who have wished me good luck in my job search / yesterday's interview, I can share some info/hopeful news.

I interviewed with the hiring manager, and then an HR person.

Hiring manager looks like he has a personality that I could get along very well with. His ideas on how he wants his team to operate jive almost exactly with my own opinions on this job function, so that's good. He told me I gave some of the better answers to his "think on your feet/not job related" questions. He needs to replace a recently let go low performing team member, so he is planning to make an offer for this position very soon, so the person can start right after the New Year.

The HR person gave me info on the paid company holiday and vacation policies, annual bonus info, and also told me, when she asked what my salary expectations were, "That's right in the range we're planning to offer for this position, but it is also negotiable". She also confirmed an offer will likely be sent out by end of this week to whomever is chosen, as the company is completely closed for the entire week of Christmas - New Year's, so they will want the offer sent, and if accepted, the new person can start in very early January.

I am very hopeful this sill work out, I'll let you all know what I end up hearing back from this company.

As always, thank you all so much for your positive thoughts and support!!

 

Just got home from an eye appointment very little change and that’s not bad news. Slight change in the prescription for the right eye and I could almost tie knots in 5 and 6w tippet before without my clicks. I would catch myself in mid knot sometimes and remember to ditch the shades and put them on so I can’t complain. But right now I’m dilated and I can’t see shit

 

Quit being mean!!

 

If they do make me an offer, and at a salary I am happy with - then YES INDEED!!

 

There’s 3 fish all west slope cutties, water temp 42*, air temperature 72*, winds S SW, Bitterroot. Thought I would throw a dart.

 

It's amazing how much difference something like that makes when you're out and about. There are several times per year where I'll be asked by a camper for assistance that I can't always provide (liability) that they could have taken care of themselves.

 

Hoping for the best

That's why you think the minnows are lunkers?
