That’s cool you do that. Our company does that 2-3 times a year. Once a year they do a tech appreciation week, where there’s all kinds of giveaways (Blackstone grills, TV’s, gift cards, ect) and a day where each team does a cookout, bowling, whatever the supervisor decides to do. Small gestures like that goes a long ways with most.

I don’t know about the Prius, but the Tundra is more made in America than the big three.

Just saw an interesting fact. A week ago today 87% of the state of Michigan was covered with at least 3” of snow. Today only 11% of the state is. The western UP and the only other spot in the entire state…..wait for it….smack dab over Casa de la @A-Jay ! ?

I have two Echomap Plus units. The maps on the lakes I fish are surprisingly pretty good. The reason I say surprisingly is because they are tiny lakes. We’re talking less than 150 acres. The bigger lakes around here appear to have good maps as well. I lived on a private lake for a couple years and mapped that one, and QuickDraw was super simple to use. Turn it on and go fish and forget it.

It’s looking like Alabama is going to be ranked above Tennessee (I don’t believe it’s official yet) how does this happen considering Tennessee beat Alabama?

This is true.

Welcome aboard!

I keep forgetting about the NIL. I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

Teaching him it’s called fishing and not catching! That’s what it’s all about.

I agree 100%. BUT, if Michigan can continue down the path they’ve been on the last two seasons, I’m hoping they can start recruiting players that would help Michigan compete with the top SEC teams. I also agree the Big 10 West is a joke.

Holy smokes, what a game! Everything I worried about was a non issue today. Go Blue!

Get it before you leave Michigan. You won’t regret it!

Have you eaten walleye?

Hopefully Corum is good. Shoonmaker is back. Go Blue!!!

You showed up here in Michigan and the temps went up. I’m guessing you’re leaving Tuesday, because Wednesday is back in the 30’s. ?

In the eyes of the hardcore QDM guys he’d be mature in about year or two, but if he’d walk in front of me I’d drop him too. I see blood on the ground but no blood on that side of the deer. Did you drop him in his tracks, or is there no exit hole?

My friend got video of a bobcat in October during bow season in one of the food plots my son and I have been hunting the past couple weeks. I saw a bobcat crossing the road about 1000 yds south of the location my friend saw one this past October, so I’m assuming there’s a well established family of them around the area. My friend is a trapper and traps his property so it’s surprising he’s never caught one out there. There’s a short trapping season for bobcat in our area now. He also got a bear on trail cam last year which is rare as well for our area.

Bass Fishin Electronics has some smoking deals on Garmin and Lowrance if anyone is looking to purchase one. I bought one of my Echomaps from them. They have super fast shipping too.

I just go with the flow so I don’t have to comment on the “marital problems” thread. ? Joking aside, my wife really only decorates for Christmas. She started right after Halloween, but wasn’t feeling it because it was still warm out. Once we got the cold snap and snow she was right there getting things out. Thankfully her mom ruined her with Christmas lights on the house. When my FIL was working in China we’d have to put her the Christmas lights and there were a ton! After it’s all said and done Christmas lights on house can and usually do look good but it’s a lot of work and usually not the best weather up here, which played in my favor. She has her décor inside and gets a couple wreaths for outside. She’s too OCD for a real tree which we tried one time.

An extra batch was requested for this year. We still didn’t get much to take home. It’s pretty dang good!

Dinner has been done since two, watched the Bills win, went out hunting, and now that I’m back home it’s time for my favorite time with the turkey…..making turkey salad! I make it every year, let it sit overnight, then eat leftovers and turkey salad sandwiches tomorrow while watching the high school football state championship games on TV.

We had turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, corn casserole (I love that stuff), candy yams, mashed potatoes, and apple pie.
